Special Delivery

I handed out my Christmas cards at work, and they LOOOOOVED them, the boss lady said she very much apprieciated the effort. (thats a compliment)

desperatelty seeking....

..... a new project. I have finished making (and writing) all my Christmas cards, with a few left over for next year too. All that is left now is a couple of presents to make and a few gift tags.
I dont know quite what to do with myself now, I seem to have so much more time on my hands.

Hopefully inspiration will strike soon.

Papertake

A quick Birthday card made to order (for my Mummy) and to enter this weeks fab Papertake challenge. Not only was it a change from making a Christmas card, but I got to use many pieces from my stash, infact it was all made from my papaer, card and letter stash.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you like it.

Card Patterns

This is the first time I have joined a Card Patterns challenge, and once again I have left it untill the last minute, but at least Im not late!!!

Papers: Basic Grey:- Eskimo Kisses, evergreen. Pattern, Euphoria

Card: From my stash.

As for the lovely embellishment Im afraid I was so excited to use them I tore open the packaging and chucked it away with out even looking at the label!

But they are so pretty. I hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Mojo Monday

Ive had this card for Mojo Monday almost finished since Tuesday, I needed to wait for my trip to Hobbycraft to buy the tape to finish it off. It was such a FAB sketch I couldnt wait to get started on it.

This is the first card I did and my entry for the challenge.

Card and Ribbon: from Stash, sorry cant remember who made it.

Font: French Script. I think it fits perfectly

Paper: October Afternoon. Ive had this paper for so long now Im so glad Ive finally used it.

This card for my boss, I think she will be suitably impressed. I went to extra effort to make sure I got everything straight and spelt correctly. She is the kind of person that would say "I can see its handmade, youve spelt Christmas wrong"

I loved working with this sketch so much that I have made quite a few more cards based on the initial design, with a few slight tweeks.

Im taking a break from Christmas cards tomorrow I need to do a good luck and birthday card before I finish my Christmas cards. Perhaps I will use the next Mojo Monday Challenge.

Sketch Saturday

This is my entry for this weeks sketch saturday, posted just in time. Firstly the sketch...

so much possiblity here. I decided to use the sketch to make a card for somebody special.I changed it a little bit, but I like it this way. My Pa has gone back to work now so he wont be home for Christmas which makes me sad but then it makes me happy (ish) to know he has this to open on the big day.

I used papers from Basic Grey and Dovercraft, Card from my Stash and Tinsel Dots from Crafty people.
