Acetate on show at Bah! Humbug! ...

Oooooooooooh love acetate.  Infact I've just ordered a huge batch of inkjet printable, but naughty Mr Postman didn't deliver it in time for our challenge this week at Bah! Humbug!
I decided to go for a very simple card using a Marianne/Nellie Snellen die to cut out a silver mount and white cuttle bugged circle.  The snowflake was cut out of glitter foam using one of the snowflakes in a Marianne set.  A gem in the centre and silver border peel offs and sentiment finish the card.
The only draw back with acetate is that you have cut more sections to give a neat finish to the inside of the card, but using die cuts makes that so easy as the shapes are exactly the same size.

My card is also for the following challenges...
Have a fun weekend everyone.

Quick run to Primark!...

Popped in to Primark yesterday as I saw the sale sign and in the past I've had some great jewelry items for using on cards, but this time I hit the jackpot!  How gorgeous is this necklace and charm bracelet?  Reduced to just one pound each!  Yeah - fantastic!
Tried to publish this post this morning, but naughty Mr Blogger wouldn't let me so if there are none left you know who to blame.


Check out the super size charms on the bracelet - oh so gorgeous for both cards and scrapbooking. 
Quite nice as a bracelet for on holiday too.  Maybe I'll wear it before breaking it up.
Hope if you like them they are still available at your local Primark.
