ONLY JOKING

Another card I saw demonstrated and loved how it was different from the normal Christmas cards so needless to say, I had a go and then got a bit carried away and did some other non-Christmassy cards!

Still on my quest to boost the contents of my card box and clear the craft recordings on my TV so here's the next couple of cards...baby themed this time with a layout from Katie Skilton of Sizzix.

More quick and simple cards and more batch making.  Saw this card on a TV show with Katie Skilton of Sizzix so just added some scraps of pretty paper and different sentiments and voila!

I have been catching up with various demonstrations I've recorded and saw this card and loved it immediately so thought I would have a go.  It then occurred to me that I could use whatever sentiment I wanted on it so I now have six different cards - same image, different sentiment.  A quick and easy way to fill up my card box. 
I think the design may have been Pete Hughes as although he wasn't demonstrating on the Sizzix show, it screams out his style.  Dies used were Pete Hughes Looking Dapper from Sizzix and most of the sentiments are from Paper Smooches.

I've been having a play trying to find a suitable Christmas card to make for batch making and to reduce postage costs and this little one seems to have come up trumps.  Saw the design in a recent demo and it really is quick and easy.  

While I was at it, had a go at a tag as well for batch making.

Haven't been around for a while as I've actually been busy crafting with loads of projects still to complete!  The card I'm sharing today is one I made for a friend who works with cows!  My old Penny Black stamp seemed very appropriate!

Kept it in the clean and simple style.
I also had some very happy post - you're probably aware that I love everything Anna Marie Designs and was delighted to find that I'd won a competition on one of her FB pages that I didn't even know I'd entered!  I'd been loading all my AMD projects on the page and these won me the following:-

Surprisingly, I don't have any of this in my stash, until now of course, so can't wait to get started with it, although think it may be a while as I have so many other projects to complete first!  You may also notice that I received an AMD original which has pride of place in my craft room.

I needed a very quick card to give to a friend who has been awarded the OBE...how wonderful and so very well deserved!  Well done Geoff!
This is a super easy card to make and made even easier by using my super duper Tim Holtz stamping platform...my most favourite thing ever!  How on earth did I manage without it?
