Nitwit Christmas

Hello, and welcome!

Did you have a lovely Valentine's Day?  I most certainly did........a dozen red roses, a beautiful (shop-bought) card, a trip out into the country-side, a stop at one of my favourite stores, (came out with a snazzy new blouse), dinner at a fancy restaurant.......and best of all.....an uninterrupted day with my lovely Hubster....only down-side was that he insisted on playing the Sergeant Pepper (Beatles) cd, in the car, and did his usual "party-piece" of singin' along, making up his own words!  Terrible....no, really......terrible!

He made me laugh, made me feel special, and made me feel guilty about moanin' about him, the other day....haaa!

I had 22 month old Yvie-Grace today, while Gillian took the 3 boys to see the Muppets movie...it's half-term holiday from school........and she made me giggle so much.....she gets her elbows and shoulders mixed up, so playing "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" with her is a hoot...heehee.
Didn't have much time to spend on making a card, but did put another Nitwits one together.........

Would you believe I have 10 Christmas cards done?  Yep.....I'm trying to get a stash, so I can just enjoy the run-up challenges, this year, so this is another to go in the box.

A pretty angel/fairy....she's a diecut, so just popped her onto the lovely blue label, which was a surprise gift in a package I ordered from diestodiefor.com. Tracy, the owner, put several lovely bits and bobs in there......isn't that nice?

All the papers are from Nitwits, (just love their stuff!), and the gorgeous lace was one of the rolls that I got from Walmart in New York....love it!

The sentiment came with the pack.....all I added to the card was some yellow chalk ink, to the edges.......finished!

This took hardly any time, so I did get a little while to do some colouring.......hopefully, I can get a few more cards done, before the weekend.
Thanks for all the lovely comments you leave....I appreciate each and every one.....even when you are being cheeky...haaaa!

Hugs,
Anne-Marie x

  10. Love the doily die cut behind the adorable angel and your lace works perfectly on this card!
    Sounds like you had a wonderful Valentine's, in spite of the singing! My DH likes to loudly sing along with the music playing in the stores. Did I mention he sings loudly?!

  21. Anne-Marie - this is beautiful, dainty, girli and mostly - original! It is a one of a kind card that you should be very proud of. I love the image you used and that you put it on something round just makes me see her spinning round and round. So beautiful! Thanks for coming to PENNY'S. See you again soon I hope. Smiles and Happiness, Samara
