Hark! The Herald Angels Sing...

Hello everyone!!

It's already that time of day, when the light starts fading and I know that there's not much crafting left to be done and it's time to catch up on my emails and admin before I start making dinner! I can't believe how quickly these days are going and December really does seem to have flown by!! As for Christmas, this time next week it will all be over, the food that I've lovingly prepared will hopefully, all be eaten, the wrapping ripped off the presents and we'll all be thinking about New Year!!

Saying that, there is still so much to be done and tomorrow, I'm finishing the last of my crafting until next Thursday, when it will start all over again. If I didn't finish tomorrow, I think I'll be making cards whilst eating my Christmas dinner, so...I'm being strict and saying "enough is enough...Emma, step away from the heat gun" ~ lol!!

In the meantime, I promised you some of my very favourite Christmas cards that I've made this year and I'll be sharing these with you over the next four days...

...and here's the first! This is the first of two cards that were made for a Making Cards Magazine commission and were featured in the December issue, where the second of this set made the front cover. Of course, it features Tim Holtz stamps and as always, I hope you like it!



Okey dokey, time for me to drink my tea and catch up with a mountain of emails. Thank you for stopping by to take a look at today's post ~ I really appreciate you spending the time and coming to visit and leaving all your lovely comments, at this hectic point in the year!!

Bye for now and see you tomorrow with the second card in this set...

Limited Edition

Well, what can I say about yesterday...except it was quite magical. And Kate's dress was stunning, elegant, chic and classic...everything I hoped for in a Sarah Burton design. The whole day was a wonderful occasion and London has never looked so beautiful. I was proud to be British...
But as always these events are over way too quickly and we all have to return to normal...a bit like Cinderella when the clock strikes midnight! lol And when that clock does strike midnight it means one thing and one thing only...time to get crafty!!!

And here's my share for today...hope you like it!
As you all know, I do have a little bit of a soft spot for all things Tim Holtz and I thought it would be nice to do a Timmy style tag, just for a change!!
The colours are all blended onto a Manila Cardstock tag using Distress Inks, which I had first adhered a torn page from a book to one of the corners. Then it was just a matter of building up my stamps and playing with some die cuts, to achieve the result that I wanted.

So, before I go...I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who left a comment on the last post!! I was overwhelmed by the reaction to my card and I really can't thank you enough!!

So, it's goodbye from me until Monday, when I shall return with the first of my Clarity samples from the infamous shows on Create and Craft!! Can't wait to show everyone what I made but before then, please keep your fingers crossed that no presenters decide to lean on them or just get so excited, that they forget to show the samples!!! Katina, you have my permission to email the studio if they do!! lol ;)

Hope you all tune in tomorrow to see Barbara at work with some stunning stamps, live on C&C at 10:00am-12:00pm and again, at 2:00pm-3:00pm

See you Monday and have a wonderful weekend!
Love Emma
