Holly and Mistletoe

Afternoon Everyone
Well so much for getting back into the blogging, I haven't been able to wrestle the laptop off the kids lol.
In fairness that's not strictly true, but I have been so tired with these 5am starts that blogging has been the last thing on my mind. I've even had to come home and grab a granny nap which means that by the time I wake up the kids are using the computer for their homework and then I have to try and get an early night. It really does seem such a waste of an afternoon and evening.
I have managed to get some Christmas cards made though.
I have been playing with the new Hobby Art Christmas set CS022D Christmas Elements. This has to be quite my favourite stamp set so far I think.
You may have seen some of my samples on Jenny's TV show on Tuesday. Had I been a better blogger I would have let you know before the event wouldn't I!!

This is one of the cards that I made for my Pearlex class last Wednesday.
I painted the mistletoe using the new Vintage palette and then cut them out. They looked too flat positioned around the blue oval, so I stamped and painted the holly onto a piece of white card stock before attaching the trimmed mistletoe using silicon glue. The stitched border just finishes everything off.

I loaned all my art work to Jenny for the show and I haven't got it back yet.. In fact she phoned me this very afternoon to ask if she could post a couple of samples on her blog. I will check out which ones she has posted before I share any more with you.
You never know I might even get to post again over the weekend. It's half term now so hopefully there won't be too much homework to do so I might get to see the laptop lol.
Hope you have a good evening. I get to go to bed late tonight - if I can stay awake that is - as I don't have work tomorrow. And a lie in, how wonderful!!
Love and hugs
