Here is the first Christmas card I have made......in July as well.....blimey I don't normally make them this early!! Distress stains in the background then Tim Holtz tree stamps and sentiment and the branch around the edge. The sign is from another set from Woodware.
Woooooooooo Olympics!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've decorated this t-shirt for an Olympics party next week....and it turned out way better than I expected....

I printed off a union jack as a guide to look at and then used fabric paints to draw the outline.
Then I used blue pearlescent glue and stuck on sequins and some glitter and then once that had dried added white pearlescent glue and various white glitters......which pleases me as I enjoy any excuse to throw glitter around!!

 Then shook all the excess off the reveal the finished article!!

Here are some Christmas cards from a couple of years ago......quite a bit of UTEE and Chipboard shapes.....and a cross stitch at the bottom.....and peel offs hehe!!
This was a Christmas card I made a few years ago.....love the little set of pretend lights......so I made it into a pretend mantle piece......
This was a little Christmas scrapbook I made for my nan and grandad a couple of years ago.....












Here are some cross stitch things I have made in the past.......above is a little Mario on a t-shirt......I used soluble canvas to do that which is pretty good!
These are some invites I made for a pirate party with some little cross stitch piraty things.....



 This was what I made for my mom and dad's Ruby wedding.......must be the largest cross stitch I've started and actually finished.....it's now in a frame but I don't seem to have a picture of that.....It was a kit from Cinnamon Cat



 This was a bag I stitched with butterflies on......
Definitely need to get round to some more cross stitch...

Oh and just when you thought Distress Ink couldn't get any better.........Picked Raspberry is sent waving a flag of hot pinked wondrousness!! And mowed lawn and salty ocean aren't half bad either! When I first saw the seasonal distress inks last Autumn I wasn't that fussed as they looked pretty similar to existing colours.......and then when Spring came out I thought wow they look nice and then when Summer came out and I saw King Tim himself demo the colours I was like woahhhhhhhh.........bright colours and distress.....the world is now complete!!! And now I have the summer ones I was not disappointed and I got mustard seed to, to add to my collection......brilliant. Above are a couple of creations that I made today.....and even better I also got a Stampotique monster stamp which I have wanted for ages.......

The top one is a distress background - salty ocean and mowed lawn.....a spray of perfect pearls and the bottles stamp is from Paper Artsy and I think the greeting is personal impressions.

The second one is a background of picked raspberry, mowed lawn, salty ocean and mustard seed, plus a spray of purple dylusions ink for good measure, then the monster stamp, a paper artsy greeting and the rest of the trees etc are Katy Sue Designs.....

The bottom one is a little tiny canvas.......painted pink.....then black gesso then perfect pearls.....then picked raspberry on the chipboard shape with a little walnut stain around the edge and the purple star is UTEE with micro beads in it......
