Competition; Round One : WOW

Ok girls you have had a few days to think about our Simply Sassy Competition.

WOW cards............ show them to me!

White on white, no colour other than on the images.

Its a Simply Sassy competition so only SS stamps, I know you love them.

You have over a week to get your entries in.

Good Luck Sugar Addicts

Link to THEE post on your blog with your WOW cards, not just your blog.

(click on the title and you will get the address for that post only)

This card so fits our weather at the moment but Dena made this one with a Mary Hall design way back in the summer! It was for a feature in Craft Stamper and you can see all her cards and the tutorial on how she achieved the sparkly effect on her own blog here

So we have plenty of holographic embossing powder in the HOS and with the weather set to continue I think the snowy stamps have a long shelf life here in the UK at least.

Here are some others from the catalogue

I think the above samples are from Sarah,

but with no watermark and with the 1000's of picture in my files it's hard to keep track with out watermarks.

*******

I also took a gander at Dena's Sugar Nellie Gallery, ( well worth a look if you have time, but there are over 100 cards!)

I lifted these to show you ...

So technique Tuesday's tutorial link was at the start of this post, try it out and let me know how you get on.

Thanks to Dena for taking the time to show us how its done.

Other than that, not much news, but a shout out to Cass "rock chick".............while shopping in Adsa this morning I notice they have boys T shirts with Kiss, ACDC and something else, I thought of you and as they were not your size or mine then why not for Louis :)

stay warm and take care

Monday Musings

Firstly a huge thank you to the DT who held an amazing blog hop on Saturday, so good that the stamps sold out! WOW its a long time since there have been any launch sell outs but those new Simply Sassy stamps are so inkable, you love them almost as much as I do. I am just putting together set 5, set 4 going to the factory today and the list goes on and on.

Sorry I have not been around much this past week but the weather here in Scotland it taking making things difficult. Deliveries are not getting to us, power cuts and Internet connections playing up, and the long term forecast gives us no hope of seeing things change for many weeks. As I have been snowed in at the farm, the car is not so good on the slippy brea, the Internet has been a vital part of Christmas shopping, the amount of UK shopping now being done online is as high as its ever been, helped only by the weather and the reluctance to battle your way into town to only have a bigger battle in the shops to get what you need. Sit back, type it in and wait for the poor postie to bring it right to your door. Way to go!

I appreciate that some of you are basking in sunshine but please don't rub it in! My one holiday in 2010 to NY was spoilt because of the cold and the thought of Florida sunshine might be enough to tip me over the edge LOL

But I have made it to work today, I am the only one in the building as its very cold. The schools are open if you can get your kids there by yourself as there is no school transport running, I dropped mine off on the way to the HOS but may well lock up early to collect them on the way home.
I hope you are safe and cozy at home, doing your shopping online and remember that international post will take a bit longer than normal if you want sweet rubber under your tree.

ETA: Thanks to the girls who posted that Tiets link was wrong, fixed it now, I am just back from the School Craft fare where the kids made £70 on their table, not bad considering there were very few shopper around.

Just had a wander around the hop and our DT are the best, girls you rock, amazing work and support for our wee frozen solid Stamp Company.
