Merry Christmas!! Just want to wish all my followers and crafty friends a very Merry Christmas, hope Santa is good to you all.
Those of you who are my friends on Facebook will already know that we were very close to cancelling the big day here. But the culprit apologised and after a heartfelt plea from her big sister, daddy relented and it's all on again.
I'm going to leave you with a pic of my christmas card design for this year in the 3 colourways..
I used 3 of the Tim Holtz limited edition distress inks, Gathered Twigs from the autumn set and Iced Spruce and Festive Berries from the winter set to ink up the Spellbinders poinsettias, cream seam binding from Angel Crafts and base card from The Papeterie. The greeting is Hero Arts stamped with Tuxedo black Memento ink.
Have a great day everyone, and see you on the other side...
Good afternoon, how is everyone? all set for the fat man in red? well we had a minor setback today - Tesco delivered our order and Graham reckons the turkey crown isn't going to be big enough, they didn't send the selection boxes, luxury xmas pud, box of fudge for my mum or box of choc orange segments for my dad, or the roast tatties - and they didn't substitute them either. So poor Graham has already been at Asda and the Co-op, then back out to Sainsbury's as the previous 2 didn't have roast tatties either. And according to the text he just sent me, he is sitting at Aberdeen Tyres waiting to get the spare tyre changed over - we had a flat a few days ago. So while he was busy with all of that, I've been wrapping the last of the presents.
So, enough of my waffling - I'll get on with announcing the winner of the 6 flexmarkers that I used in the video. And the lucky winner was number 46 .... Christine L - congratulations! just email me your home address and I'll get them posted off to you as soon as I can manage. Thank you to everyone who entered and for all the lovely comments about my video. If the candy is not claimed by noon on the 27th I will draw another winner.

As promised, I'm back with a quick video tutorial showing how I use flexmarkers. For those of you who are used to working with promarkers, I find that you have to be much lighter with your handling of the flexmarkers and hopefully you can see that on the video. I've kept it brief, I know there's nothing more boring than a video that goes on and on, so I have not been too fussy or fernickity.
Because I really appreciate all of you watching and reading my tutorials, and for all the fabulous feedback and suggestions I get I'd like to share a wee something.. Courtesy of the very generous folks at Letraset I have a set of the flexmarkers that I used in the video. I will send the winner one each of: Rose Peach, Sunkissed Pink, Blush, Nutmeg, Light Fawn and Buttercup flexmarkers
