A MORNING OF MAKES

 Today i would like to share with you some cards that i made this morning using images from Carley Duff from Creata .

 This first card is made using a stunning image of a Christmas gift.
I have also used Carley's poinsettia image to make myself some decoupage as it gives a great 3d effect and depth.
I have also glazed them to give a lovely shine. The backing papers are from Stampin up.








My second card i have used the little elf which has been coloured with my promarkers and matted and layered onto some die cuts . The star i hand cut as i have no star dies as yet !!! I have used a couple of bell suspended on some matching bakers Twine .

My 3rd make is the same image as the 1st but i have used a different colour way . Its is such a great versatile image.

And last but not least is the little angel , How adorable is she and ideal for a little girls Christmas. 

I'm sorry for the poor quality of the pictures but i think my camera is playing up....New one for Christmas maybe .
Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a fantastic weekend.
Luv and Hugs

Happy Thanks Giving.

A second post from me today . Thought i would share a quick card i made this morning . The  Main image i have used is a  "Freebie" from Dude Time Doodles his name is Paul Pilgrim .  A perfect Doodle for Thanks Giving . The Turkey images are what i already had stored on my pc.

 He looks such a cheeky Character i thought i would make a bit of a cheeky card . The thought of Eating a cooked turkey is much more appealing than shooting one !!!
