What I want to know is WHY if you are going to have a gum infection or toothache it is more likely to happen at this time of year. My absolute horror of the men in white coats... (not the ones who are coming to take me away ha ha) ... but the ones who brandish needles the size of a javelin and are kak handed to boot... is making me quiver with fright just thinking about having my chipmunk cheek deflated. Probably a course of antibiotics will be on the cards but just making the visit for a check up makes me start shaking from head to foot. If I could be knocked out long enough to get me to the surgery, have the treatment and wake up afterwards at home I'd be one happy bunny... in the meantime I will wait until it gets so unbearable that I HAVE to do something about it... how sad is that. Anyone know a nice Dentist who does house visits to terrified Nanna's and has a magic pain free touch... all offers taken...lol
Okay so now I've bored you to death with my dental saga's I will share with you some eye candy in the form of more of my latest Christmas cards, this time using the new Cosmo Cricket Christmas papers which you can see more of here I just adore this collection of Papers and the pop out shapes are gorgeous especially these fab mittens.
This one is a an unusual card for me but it just seemed to come together in my head and I'm quite pleased with how different it is from my normal cards.
I wrapped yarn around the bottom half (which is like mini tinsel) and tore the layered paper for some texture.
I'm quite in to adding my own writing at the moment too as I think it adds a more personal touch.
Last but not least Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without a bauble would it and I just loved this shape with the button like centre and the believe sentiment. A bit of ribbon and some lace with the obligatory bling added the finishing touch.
Thanks for looking... see you soonhugs

I love every one of these. Is this using a die cut.
I can't help you with the dentist, I hate going to the dentist. I had $3500.00 worth of work done on my teeth to save them. I go, but I have never met a nice one. UGG!!!
OMG!! I LOVE these papers! Love the mittens! They are a-dor-able! Love the paper also ... maybe I can get hold of some for next year. Good luck with the men in white, you brave old soldier!!
gorgeous! I love the colours you chose for these, they work so well

Those cards are absolutely beautiful Chris! I just love them! They surely must be a lot of work!
So sorry to hear you have hurting in your teeth..not fun, I know, but get it taken care of!
And thank you for being such a sweet and kind blogger friend!
Beautiful cards! I love them all! I love Cosmo Cricket! Just gorgeous! Good luck with the dentist!
Love what you have created here!! You have outdone yourself, Chris..the details are fabulous and everything is so festive with your wonderful papers and embellishing. Gorgeous artwork!
Fab cards hun...awwwwwwwwww, now you know I'm gonna say.."Get yourself to the bloody dentist before you have to have major work done"...I'm giving you the firm approach cause I'm a friend and ...friends can do that..;)
I used to work for a dentist..and believe me when I say..you're not the only one who feels like that. In all of my 5 years there I think I came across 3 people who liked coming to the dentist and one of them liked work done with no anasthetic!!..(weirdo)
I leave you with this.....doesn't everyone look like Kate Bush when they're crafting..?..rofpmslxxxxx
Great work, Chris!
Wow Chriss these are fantastic.
Unbelievable work.
Oh Chris...you poor love!!! Try swooshing with some anitseptic mouthwash to bring it down. My hubby would use TCP, but then he is wierd hahaha.
I love all your cards esp that 3rd card & it has pride of place on my tv. X
Beautiful cards Chris - all have that extra special touch that you do so well. Sorry to hear about your tooth (clove oil is supposed to be good for tooth pain - can't tell you if it works or not though).
xx Karen
What fabulous cards Chris...every one's a gem. Love your fancy handwriting too.
Now go and phone the dentist.

Lucky is the person who ends up on your Christmas card list because honestly I've never seen such professional and stunning cards in my life. You are so talented...swollen face or no!....I'm with you on the dentist. That needle does me in...and they always are so slow in the injection. It's like time stands still while the pain engulfs.
oooh....gorgeous gorgeous cards and I do love my Cosmo Cricket.
What a pain....oops sorry...having an abscess just before Christmas but you need to go to the dentist...don't let it run on....have a couple of stiff drinks and then get someone to take you kicking and screaming. Have you ever told the dentist of your fears....my dentist is lovely and so sympathetic and the most important bit....so gentle.

Hiya Mrs Chippie!!
You are a hoot - I always PMSL when I mosey on over here!!
But glad to see from above post your face has now deflated by itself!!!
I love Cosmo Cricket and these cards are just stunning! Love the burgundy colours and all the little details too...
I used to be terrifed of dentists - I'm still scared to a point but I'm a lot better since I went for a check up and ended up getting a wisdom tooth out - I was in shock for days!!! I was actually begging him to let me go home and sobbing and shaking uncontrollably and when I went outside after 4 injections there was a hoast of folk waiting who all just turned and looked at my sobbing gob!!! When I think about it - Uuugh Cringe!! Chris I didn't feel a thing and it just popped out!
things never seem so bad now when I go after that experience!!
He He!!
