Time flies.....

Hello everyone.

Wow, time is flying by at the moment and I must apologise for leaving it so long. I have been so busy making cards and looking after my new granddaughter that I have got behind with my blog which isn't good.

I invested in some lovely Ohuhu colouring pens before Christmas from Amazon, 200 of them in fact, and then I had a couple more packs bought for me at Christmas. I have been experimenting with them, which has taken some getting used to but I'm getting better the more I use them. It's hard to find the best colours to blend together as it is not always the colours you think it will be. I made a couple of cards, with a Christmas theme, after Christmas to put in my box in preparation for this year. I always say I'm going to start early so this was a good chance to.

The images are from Dr Digi's House of Stamps and can be found here and here. I entered the Bah Humbug card into the Dr Digi weekly competition on Facebook and actually won a prize of a free digi stamp which I was very pleased about. I haven't won anything before from posting pictures of my cards so that was very nice to see especially right at the beginning of the new year.

Please come back again soon, I have lots more to show you.

Take care

Framed gifts....

Good morning to you all and welcome to the weekend. I've actually been on annual leave this past week so the weekend does feel like a weekend for once. I hope you have some lovely things planned for the next couple of days, but if you are just sitting here scrolling through the internet, please feel free to look at other items on my blog. Also, there is a link on the right-hand side here that will take you to my Glittergirl Handmade Cards Facebook page. Please pop over and give me a 'like' or a 'follow' as this will mean a lot to me. When building up a small business, it is good to see people interacting with us and sharing with other people they know. You never know when someone will want something that we promote and it's lovely when I have some new customers who give me new challenges.

Today's make is a lovely box frame gift that seems to be popular with my customers. The inside item is a 3d initial of the person the gift is for and this is then finished off with vinyl lettering of their name across the glass. I made a couple of these at Xmas also to include as secret Santas and the people who received them absolutely loved them.

Thank you for visiting today. Have a lovely day, see you again soon.

Just a quickie..........
