Christmas with the Cutie Pies

     Hello everyone. It's such an exciting day today as it's the launch of the very first challenge at

Christmas With The Cuties

I am honoured to be part of this fantastic team and am proud to share my inspiration for the first challenge.


I think you will agree she certainly hits the spot in the CUTE stakes!! I found some very old Christmas papers in my hamper so used those lovely colours as a base for colouring little Rosie. She was coloured with Promarkers. I did a bit of "duffing up" with my distressing tool for a change and sparkled the snow with stickles. I liked my Gemini very much BUT now I LOVE it. The intricate snowflake border cut with one pass and, better than that, every single little bit came out cleanly !! Brilliant!!

Anyway, I do hope you will support Lisa and the rest of her wonderful team and come and pay a visit and join in, I am sure that there will be mince pies and mulled wine on offer...after all it is Christmas...with the Cuties!!

Before I go here is a recent picture of my hairy kids...


...when you are bored of watching Mum crafting!!

Until next time xx

  2. She certainly is a cutie Sarah and made into a lovely card.

    The boys looks well chilled out as though butter wouldn't melt - as if.

  18. Hi Sarah

    A really beautiful card .. .. I love those backing papers!

    If your collection is anything like mine you have some going back years and years. I guess that is confirmation that I don't make enough Christmas cards! Ooops!

    Looking at your blog though your Christmas box must be full to overflowing!

    Many thanks for your lovely comment on my blog Sarah. You are really kind.

    Have a good day and I hope it is warmer with you than it is here.

    Love Jules xx
