How is everyone? I hope you're all keeping cosy and warm.
Have any of you had snow yet? We've haven't seen a single flake, but it's a bit on the chilly side though.
Things in the old craft room are still not going smoothly. Minor panic yesterday when a project I was working on just wouldn't do what I wanted it to. Stephen came home at lunch time, poor thing, and got the full force of a major rant. Everything went in the bin, I told him to close the craft room door, I was never going in there again, and he could sell the (bleeping!) lot of it!!!
He was very good. He gave me a cuddle, told me to walk away and take a break, and not to sell any craft stuff just yet!
I did go back in there later on, started everything again and by the time Stephen came home I was back on track. So, no huge craft sale just yet.
It's Twinchie time again, don't they soon come around.
It's challenge #11 and the theme is ......
Traditional Christmas Colours
I must admit I love red and green on Christmas cards, it always looks festive. I do use other colour combinations, but there always has to be at least one of my Christmas designs done in the traditional colourway - call me old fashioned.
There's some fab inspiration from the Design team over on the Twinchie Challenge Blog.
And here's what I came up with .......
...... a little bunch of mistletoe (mwah!)
The stamp's from an Inkadinkadoo clear set, which I've stamped using a green Versafine ink, then coloured with a Copic pen. The berries have been highlighted with Liquid Pearls, and a pretty red satin ribbon finishes it all off. I've mat it onto some red cardstock and added a touch of glitter around the edge. Twinchie done!
It's going to go on a card later, so you'll see it again soon. It's perfect for another Blog Challenge, and as time is a luxury I don't seem to have at the moment, 2 for 1 sounds good to me.
Well, that's me done for today.
I'm going to try and catch up with all your blogs tonight. I feel like I've missed so many posts recently, and I do like to see what everyone's up to.
Have a lovely evening.
Cheerio for now

A totally adorable little twinchie, Linda! I know you will have struck a nerve with any crafter who reads this post as we've all had temper tantrums and wanted to walk away forever when we have a devil of a time getting our creations to "work." I'm so happy that you settled down and went back, and that your sweet hubs knew JUST what to do!
Great Twinchie Linda, and I bet it makes a great card too. We haven't had any snow yet , but it is cold....you know I don't like to be cold!!!!!
