I have been making cards like crazy today but I can only share one with you I'm afraid, (you might be glad!!!) LOL
This card is my LIM 44 offering, this week Chrissie and Mandi have chosen the colour
Green
Here we go
I have used the Tim holtz Noel die again, I just love it, inked with a rainbow inkpad and TH distress stickles in crushed olive. The background is embossed with a new folder that I bought at the Craft Barn, Not online yet it's by Couture Creations and called Vintage plumes. Martha Stewart snowflake, no stamping at all here today.
Update; the embossing folder is now online, check it out HERE
Another update: Thanks to Sheila in Cyprus, lovely comments:0) Glad you enjoyed your visit to the CB, I know the lighter in the pocket feeling LOL I can't access your blog( if you have one) to leave a comment so I'm doing it here, Gay xxx

Just a note:
I would like to say how much I love hearing from you and would like to say a big Thank You for all the comments. It really makes a difference to be able to share and get feedback from like minded crafty people like YOU! If I don't get back to you rest assured I will have tried and will try again because I know how rewarding it is, often a kind comment makes my day:0) Lately it's been a bit difficult to keep up with everyone I used to visit, it's been manic here. I'm sure most people will be just as busy as me and I hope you'll understand why I've not visited quite as often as I would like but I sit at the computer soo long poor hubby doesn't get a look in :{ I rather like to be crafting as well :0)

Great layout - love the embossing folder and the work on "Noel "is fabulous. The snowflake is the perfect touch!Lovely!
Hi Gay
It's lovely to see you today in Blogland and with another gorgeous card. That embossing folder is beautiful and I love the olive green. It makes such a lovely change for Christmas.
I know exactly what you mean about spending too long on the computer and not enough crafting, even when it's not the most busiest time of the year. Hope your preparations are going well.
Hugs Lisax

This TH Noel die is fabulous and I love how you've used it on this gorgeous card Gay. The colour is wonderful and looks so good on a white background. Fabulous snowflake too!
Hugs, Sylvia xx
PS: Strangely enough - I was in our local garden centre today and was very tempted to buy a white Christmas tree and some of their fabulous lime green tree decorations (fancied a change after decades of traditional trees), so we must have been sending colour vibes to each other!! xx
Hi Gay. What a great die cut and I love the embossed feathers! This is a very busy time of year and we are all very busy on a regular basis. I love the comments and the encouragment is priceless but not required. If I don't comment, it doesn't mean that I don't enjoy your creations.
A lovely card full of texture Gay! I love the glittery 'noel' and your embellishment is gorgeous - a nod to snowflakes AND Christmas greenery! Re: your note - I know what you mean, I think we all do: we all so as much commenting as we can without it taking over I think. Never a good idea to neglect Mr Mustavcoffee! Vx
That's a very impressive die Gay and I love the EF so unusual;0
Val x
I can see why you like the Tim Holtz die. I love it also. It is such a busy time of year my friend. I think everyone should know that. I come to see you beautiful work and because you always make me smile. And also because I love your blog name! Hee Hee!!!
Hugs, Linda
Great card Gay, that really is a super die!

Hi Gay
The Noel card is simple but striking, great colours. I understand about sitting at the pc, I use one most of the day as part of my job and the last thing you want is to sit all evening at one too... Dee xxx
Hi Gay, it's a lovely Die striking but simples... lovely colours. I know what you mean about the pc, I use one in my job and really don't want to be sitting at one all night too... Dee xxx
Well this is seriously stunning Gay, love the treatment of the NOEL die-cut :)
I like the showcase of the embossing folder...not a company I've heard of but they look scrummy.
I so know what you mean about commenting at the moment...all this madness for one day ;)

Firstly here here with your just a note. I am barely keeping my head above water these days trying to craft and comment is a full time job and i have one of those as well !! Everyone is so busy at this time of year and i think we all all understand the lack of commenting, so dont worry we all understand. Love your card that fabulous Green Noel against that stunning embossed background is just breath taking, I just adore your work Gay always a pleasure to visit.
