So how's everyone today ?
It's a little bit chilly to my mind today and the central heatings definitely kicking into gear here now. My hopes of a bit of sunshine to take photos yesterday were false ones and today's just as gloomy so I decided I'd better get on with it and take some before the best of the daylight disappears.
I had delivery from Julie at Love2Papercraft at the weekend with some more of their fabulous Envoboxes like the one I shared last week. I really can't recommend these enough, they come in various sizes and are absolutely brilliant for cards with a bit of dimension as they are gusseted, yet light enough that cards still sit within the large letter category.
I also had another order from Theresa at Crafts and Me with the latest arrivals of her beautiful fairy stamps created from the artwork of Molly Harrison. If you are a fairy fan like me and have not seen these yet, you don't know what you are missing.
Enough babble, I'd better show you what I made with my new goodies. First up a card using Orchid of the Night, isn't she devine ? I stamped the image onto gloss cardstock, then masked her and brayered the whole piece with Big and Juicy Happy Birthday. I then coloured the image with the same ink pad and added glitter to her wings. The DP is My Minds Eye and I made three roses from plain brown paper. The mats are one of the new Nestie label sets (17), I love the shape of these and they are a little larger that some of the original sets. Quite a quick and easy card, but I think quite effective. This card is for the following challenges:
Midnight Madness - Sketch
Papertake Weekly - 3 of a Kind
ABC - F for Flowers
Flutterby Wednesdays - Open Wings
Scrapbook Sisters - Flower Power
My second card used exactly the same technique as above, but this fairy is called Wonderland. Again a pretty quick and simple card, the DO is from Stash, Doodlebug I think, but not certain. The punch is Martha Stewart cornice, the flower and leaves were made using the Cuttlebug quilled daisy set and the swirls are cut with one of the new Tim Holtz dies. This card is for the following challenges:
Creative Card Crew - Fairy Tales
Pollycraft - Fairytale
And on final share of a little tag book I made back in August but not blogged before using acetate, Magnolia DP's, Sizzix swirls and ribbons. This is for the following challenges:
Tuesday Taggers - More than 2 legs
Anything Goes - Ribbons

Smashing tag book wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing these with us at Tuesday Taggers, xx Zoe
The fairy cards are fabulous. I particularly like the blue/lilac one - just beautiful.
Brenda if thats what lives at the bottom of your garden then I want to live there too! These are so gorgeous. Hurling is our national game, though most people think its gaelic! Cuchulainn was playing it all those years ago!! I used to play the female version called Camogie, once got player of the year and that was in my 30's!! Brilliant game but a bit dangerous lol.

Oh, those images are sooo gorgeous. Fab cards Brenda. Thanks for joining us at PTW xx
Hi again Brenda! No worries - I should have realised you meant Stepper, not Easel!!
Hugs, Sylvia xxxx
Two gorgeous fairy cards, Brenda. Who can resist the little people. I love your memory book too. The clear pages look great. I'm a little afraid of trying them out. Having to think how it all looks together sounds a bit too confusing for my simple brain!!
I'm sending some sunshine your way, we've been really lucky here and it's cleared into a beautiful day by lunchtime every day so far, probably put the kiss of death on it now!!
Hugs Lisax
