Snowflakes and Angels



Morning peeps another cold one here.Can not believe we have so little time before Christmas will be upon us.On with today's card.He was a free stamp with a magazine,such a cute face.I stamped and coloured him with promarkers and cut him out with a bauble nestie.I added some glamour dust to his wings and halo,i have also edged the same with the dust too. I mounted him on the next size nestie and embossed it with the snowflake embossing folder.The blue snowflake backing paper is from my stash along with the ribbon.I put some pale blue flat backed pearls on the ribbon.I used to different size snowflakes from the spellbinders create a flake as embellishments

Christmas Mice

Second post from me today,got to keep crafting to keep warm lol.Don't these mice just bring a smile to your face.I coloured the image with promarkers and kept it simple by just tinting the edge of the shape with an ink pad.The backing paper is from my stash,i am trying to use up what i have before i buy any more.The sentiment is a stamp. The image was cut using a nestability and i cut the same shape in a larger size and ran that through the snowflake cuttlebug folder .I have also used the Spellbinders Create a flake.

Upsetting

I'd like to draw your attention to the post below this one and the malicious content of some of the comments i received from Liz Blair. Not just on my last post but over several if you care to read back
I don't know why Liz has singled me out for her foul mouth abusive rants as I've had no contact with her for over two years and can only conclude she has some under-laying grudge against me.I've emailed her this morning asking her why but as yet I've had no response from her.
This left me no choice but to email her DT co-ordinators to make them aware of her vicious and uncalled for posts.One of them kindly got back to me to say Liz has told her that her blog must of been the target of a High-jacker.So tell me this,who knows of a high-jacker privy to personal information? who leaves more than one comment per post or who takes the time to go through a blog and leave comments on various posts?Do you know of such people because I've never come across it before.
Any time I've read a blog post about a high-jacking it's been someone leaving random spam on everyone's followers not one specific person .If indeed someone did high-jack Lizans blog would it not be the case that they would use her followers list to leave their spam messages.Since I'm not a follower of her blog and never have been how did they make the connection between us?
So Liz thank you very much for letting the blogging world know what i and many others already do.That your a fowl mouthed,evil minded malicious woman.You have of your own free will shown yourself to be a two faced individual who after a few drinks on a Saturday night lets her mouth run away with her.Then again I've been on the receiving end before so its not new to me but I'll bet your blogging buddies will now see another side to you .Heaven forbid they ever receive such treatment

I do apologise for any offence these comments have caused any one else and the language that has been used ..
I am leaving this now until any proof to the contrary can be shown to me.
