ONLY JOKING

Such a long time since I've been blogging, however, found these on my camera and thought I would share them with you. Hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year and roll on the Summer!

So sorry I haven't been around for ages but life has been busy....too busy! Anyway, thought I would show the SECOND(!) Christmas card I have made! Hoping to put together some more this evening if time allows. The image is from High Hopes which I've had for over a year but I absolutely love it - my sense of humour completely! Papers are MME which have been distressed and stitched, ribbon is Gisela Graham and buttons from my stash. Can you believe my Lewis was 13 yesterday? How did that happen?!!! Seems like only yesterday I was in complete and utter agony giving birth! Well, I've got lots to get on with, decorating the tree, housework, shopping and yes, Christmas cards. Hope you all have a good weekend.

Well, here it is, the only Christmas card I've made so far this year lol! Had to make this last week for some friends who are off to Trinidad for four months - lucky beggars! Image is Hanglar, papers are MME and just added a few embellishments from my stash - the ribbon is Gisela Graham which I got from the garden centre. Shame my photographic skills are so bad as you can't see all the layers and the glitter on the card, however, I was pleased with it (the card not the photo!) Been out most of the day so really should get on with some more cards tomorrow once I've cleared the long list of jobs I have to do! Have a great weekend.

I think I've mentioned before that when I make a card, I usually stamp out a few of the images at once, so thought I would make use of the spare chilly Tilda I had on my desk and put a card together. Kept this one very simple so it was quick! Images from Magnolia, coloured with PM's with Glamour Dust, sentiment is from Doodlebug. Cardstock is Bazzill and paper is K & Co (I think!). Used SU corner rounder punch and fiskars border punch and added some Papermania sticky gems to the holes. Added some SU jumbo eyelets and finally some ribbon from my stash and ....... ta dah........Christmas card number 3!!

It felt a bit peculiar making this card for the Stamp Something challenge as the sun is shining today and it's warmed up alot down here. However, couldn't find a stamp with the wind part so settled for this Tilda which is one of my personal favourites as she does look a bit cold!! I followed the Mojo Monday sketch for this one which is fabulous! Both images are Magnolia coloured with Promarkers and Glamour Dust added to Tilda's jacket and the tree stump. Papers are My Minds Eye and cardstock is from my stash. Used my Fiskars border punch and some "chocolate drops" from Craftwork Cards. So there we have it, another Christmas card completed......that must make a grand total of two!!! The card is actually more green than it looks....that's my wonderful photographic skills for you lol! The challenge this week is being sponsored by Whimsy stamps so I would strongly urge you to have a go!
