Week 99-100 Recipe!

This challenge will last for two weeks over the festivities and we have decided to start our Christmas celebrations with a whizz and have chosen
DRINKS 
as our recipe.
You can choose tea, coffee, water, sodas, alcohol of course if you wish, in fact any drink at all... but all of us...Chrissie, Mandi and Jen would like to wish all of you a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous and healthy New Year.
Cheers!

For my first card this week I have used a simple Pink Petticoat image from the Happily Ever After set and simple coloured in the hearts with a red pro-marker and added some glamour dust into each glass to look like bubbly... The sentiment was added in word.  I have them mounted onto red pearl card base...   Nice and simple..  

For my second card it's more signature me with the stitching and the kraft card stock.  The sentiment and image are from Paper Smooches Cyber Cafe set.  I have used whisper white ink pad for the steam and cocoa memento ink for the sentiment and cup.  The cup is then mounted on a couple of foam pads.  I've done a little rough stitching around the edges and mounted onto kraft card.


This card is made totally  with Stampin' Up products (apart from the cardstock that is). The stamp set is Tea Shoppe, stamped with Wisteria Wonder ink, the small pansy stamp being coloured using SU markers.
The sentiment was punched using the Modern Label punch. The embossing was done with the Manhattan Flower Folder.
Here's another SU card.
The glass is from the Cheers to You set and the sentiment (carefully placed to flow on from the cocktail stick, using my Lego positioner) is from the Wonderful Words set, both of which I believe are now retired.
I have a few more drinky type cards on my personal blog and I'd love you to pop by and see the others I have done there.
A Happy Christmas to you all!

Hello, Mandi here!
No card from me, but, I wanted to personally pop by and wish you all a happy Christmas,
We are lucky enough to have our lovely grandson Joe here, with his mummy and daddy too!
Will certainly be a lovely Christmas.
I thought I'd show you a few pictures of the shop now it's decorated. I'm rather pleased with how it looks....
 Our white window display

Back section is wallpapered in a beige and ivory damask. Excuse the mess on the floor!

 Work in progress, but, the horrid big ugly counter has gone!
New dressing table desk be here in the new year

 The chair sashes. Above on the wall will be seating plans

  13. A note to Mandi, please. I went to your sweet Finishing Touches website to leave you a comment, but there was only a contact page. I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed the tour of the shop you gave her on LIM! It was nice to hear from you again. Wishing you all the best in the new year for health, happiness, and much wonderful success in your new business!! Mwah! Darnell
