& a {handcut} partridge in a pear tree...

here's my card for this weeks Arty Girlz challenge, which is to include some hand cutting on your creation.

i've used Liz's new gorgeous freebie - i'd like to say a big, huge *thank you* to Liz not only for bringing back my christmas mojo with this fabby image { i'd given up completely...}, but also for all the wonderful freebies - thanks Liz!

*****please all note - i am NOT creeping up to her just because there is a rather lovely prize up for grabs on her blog...

everything else is from my Scrummy Stash kit - i did warn you that i'd be using it rather a lot!

this morning i actually told my postman i loved him...

...well he did bring me a very yummy box of goodies from the Scrummy Stash Cafe! {yes, i won another of their blog challenges - whoo-hoo!}
one of the things i ordered was the beautiful new Out & About kit & this fabby paper is perfect for DCM's new stripey challenge :) everything i've used is from this kit apart from the acetate {but even that came from Scrummy Stash!}

expect to see many more cards made with this kit - i loves it!

quite possibly the best blog candy EVER...

anyone else totally addicted to Tim Holtz's "12 tags of christmas"? what do you mean no?? go have a peek here...

oh {curly} christmas tree..

Liz has a competition on her blog at the mo, with a fabby prize to be won - go have a peek!

here's my card - i've used Di's latest sketch for it.

all papers & images pink petticoat

dreaming of a white christmas...

here's my attempt at this weeks Papertake Weekly challenge - it's as white as i could manage! {had to keep stopping myself from adding a bit more paint...}

still no mojo...

...but i was asked earlier to make a baby card. thought i'd try to tie it in with a challenge so that i've done at least one!
i found this oh-so-cute provo craft paper hidden away in a drawer & thought i'd have a little doodle, not entirely happy with this little fella, but he'll do! he was then watercoloured - perfect for the latest Scrummy Stash Cafe colour it in challenge!

a whole week's gone by...

...and i have no new cards to show you!
my crafty mojo seems to have disappeared completely - hopefully it's off on holiday somewhere hot & will be back soon refreshed & ready to play!
