Grandad

Evening

I'm so full!! I've just got back from my work's Christmas Dinner and it was yummy. I decided to be a bit crazy and not have turkey - but went for Moroccan Lamb instead and a nice chocolate cheesecake for pudding!!

Here's the card I made for my lovely Grandad - he's very old now and not entirely with it - but I'm hoping it cheers him up a bit!

I've used some more of my lovely Dovecraft Paper.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Sassy Cheryl's - Snowman with a Die cut
The Pixie Cottage - Sketch / Someone Special
Catch the Bug - Baby It's Cold Outside
Craft Your Days Away - Snowmen
Little Claire's - Family Christmas

Thanks for Looking!

I'm finished!!

Hello!!

I've just finished my last card, I made two last night and two this morning so I thought I'd have a well earned sit down with a hot chocolate before I brave going out of the house to finish off my Christmas shopping!

This is for my very lovely husband - it's really grey here today so I've struggled to get a decent photo.  I've covered the bell in glossy accents - it looks great!  The DP is  Dovecraft Let it Snow - it's so sparkly but you can't really tell.  As these papers are so nice they have been reserved for special cards only, I've only cut into 3 sheets out of 48!!  Plenty left for next year!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Cupcake Craft - Sketch
EAC - Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly - Christmas Card
The Pixie Cottage - Someone Special
Simply Create Too - Embossing
Little Claires - Family Christmas

Thanks for looking!!

Reindeer

Morning!!

I'm feeling very Christmassy today!

Here's my latest card - I made it for my best friend at work! I mentioned a while back I'd bought a lovely Reindeer die and I've finally used it.  The material for my reindeer is actually my little boy's coat that he had grown out of and the zip gone!
