Totally Gorjuss Challenge 237 - Buttons and/or Bows.

Good morning everyone. Is it just me or does Saturday come round really quickly? What's even more scary is that on Monday it'll be 8 weeks since my operation! I went back to work yesterday as I thought a half day on Friday and Saturday would break me in and my colleague has agreed to work on Monday afternoon so I only need to do the morning. You can see from this that we don't have the Bank Holiday on Monday. On the plus side we have a local holiday the next Monday.

But enough waffle, I'm trying to get this post done while I have an Internet connection!

At Totally Gorjuss this week our challenge is Buttons and/or Bows. I've only managed one button but I've added two bows.

I used :-

Flower :- Tim Holtz Tattered Florals.

Sentiment, button and twine :- Stampin' Up!

Pearls :- Hobby House.

Embossing Folder and -Doily :- Sizzix.

Martha Stewart punch and ribbon.

I've bought my neighbour a gorgeous Orchid as well and I'll take it over after work. I thought about flowers but I think she'll probably get lots of flowers and hopefully a plant will last longer.

As usual I've been a bad blogger. I thought when I was off work I'd do lots of blogging but with this awful connection I just get fed up and switch of my laptop. If I'm being honest I think after five years I'm getting fed up blogging! Never thought I'd say that.

Thanks for looking and I'll be round to see what you're up to after work.

Just a tag.

Hi, if there's anyone out there! Visitors seem to be a bit few and far between here so I won't rabbit on!

We were invited to a wedding reception next Saturday. We can't go but obviously we still wanted to give the happy couple a present. I couldn't get any wedding paper so I bought some gorgeous flowery paper. The gift tags were spotty so I decided to make one to match the paper.

I used :-

Image :- Stampin' Up!

Colouring :- Stampin' Write markers.

Tag cut with a Sizzix die.

Ribbon from stash.

I've still to make a congratulations card for them. Best do that now.

Thanks to anyone who looked and even more thanks if you had time to leave a comment.

Yummy Bunnies.

I'm a bit late with this post. I seem to have spent my time before making tea catching up with my favourite blogs and challenges. I'll make this short because I still have my ironing to do!

I can't take any credit for these bunnies at all as someone more talented than me had the idea of making one and worked out how to make them.

At the crop last month one of my friends was making bunnies to hold Easter Eggs. She had found them in a magazine. I don't know which magazine but I'm sure some of you will recognise them. My friend who comes to mine every Wednesday bought the magazine and decided to make some too. So I thought why not? Neither of us fancied cutting out the bits with a knife so we used dies. She lent me her Sizzix ones for the ears and feet as my oval nesties are fatter than her Sizzix ovals. The teeth and nose are little hearts that I cut with a Memory Box die. The whiskers are fine string that my friend stiffened. I think the bunny on the right must have rubbed his nose before I took the photo as his whiskers look a bit odd!

The ones in the magazine look quite cute but I think mine have a kind of "caught in the headlights" look!! Still I don't suppose Poppy and Oliver will mind. After all there's chocolate eggs inside them.

I'm entering the challenge at Papertake Weekly which is Easter Treats.

Thanks for looking and for any comments you leave. I think I'll go off and so some DT work now before I do my ironing.

Why did I start this........?

I often think that! I used to give my great nieces and nephews and latterly my grandkids too a book token every Christmas. Now most of my nieces and nephews have reached 18 and don't get a Christmas present any more. Only one is under 18 so I decided to make a gift card holder to put his money in. Not a book token any more as I realise he would probably prefer to put the money to something else! So then I thought I might as well make some for Poppy and Oliver too. The next thought was what to decorate the front with after all a 17 year old boy probably doesn't want a snowman or a santa! So here's what I made.

This one is for Lachlan. Hope a snowflake is not too yuk for a teenager. I took the photo last night and I think it looks a bit blurry but I can't get a better photo as I posted it with their Christmas card this morning!

This one's for Poppy and it was definitely blurry so I took another photo.

This is Oliver's gift card and my second attempt at a photo.

I used :-

Flourish :- Corner from Sizzix.

Snowflake :- Papermania.

Images :- House Mouse.

Colouring :- Promarkers.

Happy Christmas and To-, From- both inside - Hero Arts.

Glamour Dust, silver and gold embossing powders and ribbon.

I should have taken a pic of the inside but I'm now a little short of time! I'm going out for a Christmas meal with the Guild tonight and I'm picking up my first passenger at 6pm. Our meal is booked for 7pm as some of our members are elderly. I usually take my neighbour but she's the lady who broke her hip a couple of weeks ago. She's now convalescing locally and seems to be doing well. Someone told me you only get two weeks there. Not sure if it's like a nursing home or a cottage hospital but I'm told it's really nice. Apparently she's determined to come home after that. She's very independent. Her son lives next door but he's a busy farmer. I'm sure she wants to have her family from children to great grandchildren for Christmas! Quite a crowd now. Her son looks after the turkey and the girls do the rest but quite an upheaval. But it's what she likes so they'll probably have to agree!

I went to look for a Christmas stocking for Oliver today. Poppy has always had one but Oliver has just had a gift bag. The ones at the garden centre at Inverurie were only £1.25 and really poor quality so I didn't bother. We would have looked in the town but hubby resented having to pay to park for a few minutes so we ended up coming home. I expect I could make one if I had some felt or material.

I ordered bike helmets for them last night after Catriona told me what website to look at. I sent a text to ask which one to get for Poppy and she replied "Poppy says" and she wants the one I had chosen for her already. So who's a clever Gran then? For some reason she wouldn't stay in her bed last night. Not like her at all. Oliver's had a cold so he's been asking to go to bed about 6pm. I expect they'll get a bit high the nearer we get to Christmas.

Not done much with my day off today but at least I've got my cards posted. Some handed out yesterday and some to hand out tonight. I'll take the rest to work tomorrow and hand them out to the rest of the staff and customers and friends who live in the village.

Not sure if I'll be too late to catch up later so maybe I'll try to do some visiting just now before I get ready to go out.

I'm Still Embossing.....

and still making Christmas cards. These are the last two I made at the weekend. Embarassingly simple again.  Just a Sizzix embossing folder, some gems, ribbon and a sentiment. I love this sentiment from a Paula Pascual set.

Do you like the colours? I do. Very untraditional but sometimes I just like to be different!

I think I said before that I had to see about cards for my great-niece's 21st and my grandson's 3rd birthdays. Well lazy me I found two I had in my box that I thought were just right. Oliver loves dinosaurs and I found a card with a dinosaur that I'd made earlier this year. Hope he likes it!

Thanks for looking and as usual any feedback would be very welcome. I'm off to do a little DT commenting and visit my favourite blogs.

Vroom, Vroom!!

Me again and definitely a lot later than I meant to be posting this card. Especially since it's been made since Friday. I got distracted ordering Easiyo mixes at Lakeland.

So here's my latest card. 

I used :-

Image :- Penny Black.

Sentiment and Card Candi :- Craftwork Cards.

Letters and number 6 :- Sizzix.

DP :- Basic Grey.

Distress Ink and Kraft.

I'm entering the following challenges :-

Papertake Weekly :- Sketch.
Oldie But a Goodie :- Summer Holidays.
Crafting When We Can :- Summer Fun.

The doggie has his case in the back so I think he's off to have fun on his Summer Holidays! Here in Scotland the children are on holiday now for seven weeks. The teachers are delighted and some of the Mums a bit less so. Not sure how the teacher mums feel lol!

I think some of you can probably guess who this card is for. That's right, Kath's gorgeous Retriever, Buddy. I'm a wee bit late so I hope Buddy doesn't see this before he gets it lol!

Thanks for looking and I'm hoping to be less busy and more productive next week!

By the way I hope the candy winners have checked the post below to see who won.

Less is More 14 White on White.

Hi everyone from a very wet Aberdeenshire.

When I checked out my favourite challenges yesterday I noticed that the challenge over at Less is More this week is White on White. I love white on white but I'm not sure I'm very good at it! Other people do it so well though and Chrissie and Mandi's samples are just stunning. I had a couple of ideas though so I may be back with another card when I get it finished.

I love to do embossing when I do white on white or white with a touch of colour. I thought a Christmas card might work well as WoW. Not sure it turned out as well as I'd hoped though! Not even sure it looks white. On my screen it looks a bit blue. It's definitely all white though even the little pearls in the snowflakes.

I used :-

Image :- LOTV.

Embossing folders :- Cuttlebug Swiss Dots and Sizzix Tim Holtz Snow Flurries.

Ribbon, pearls and Glamour Dust.

I'd also like to enter this card in the challenge at Lili of the Valley :- Animal Antics.

Now what should I do? I washed today (good old tumble drier) so I have ironing , or I could finish that other WoW card or make an anniversary card for hubby. Decisions, decisions.....think it's time for a coffee first and hope that he takes the dogs out so I can get peace to watch what I've recorded on Sky+. I've been watching ER from the beginning as I didn't see it till it had been on for years.

Rain seems to be off again so no excuse for him, after all the dogs don't mind what the weather's like.

Catch up with you all later. Enjoy what's left of the weekend.

Totally Gorjuss 61 For Someone Special.

Good afternoon everyone, sorry to be a bit late with my DT card for Totally Gorjuss. Last night I was trying to get my Christmas cards ready to post and I didn't get to bed till after 2pm. I made what I thought was the last three cards last night. Printed some more inserts, cut them to size and stuck them in the cards. Wrote the cards and put them into the right envelopes (with printed address labels) and hubby stuck on the self-adhesive stamps. Then when I was brushing my teeth this morning I remembered someone who gave me a card, who doesn't usually. So I had to pinch a card from someone I know I won't see until Monday!

So here's my DT card for Totally Gorjuss.

I used :-

Image & sentiment :- LOTV.

Snowflake & punched edge :- Martha Stewart.

Card candy :- Craftwork Cards.

Cuttlebug and Sizzix embossing plates.

Thanks to everyone who entered our last challenge, I enjoyed looking at all your snowy creations. You can find the winner over at Totally Gorjuss you'll also find lots of inspiration there for this challenge. This challenge will run until 7th January 2011 and we hope to see you for our new challenge on 8th January 2011. The lucky winner of this challenge will win a beautiful pack of Me and My Big Ideas paper if Net can bear to let it go lol!

I used the sketch over at Lili of the Valley so I'm going to enter that challenge.

Thanks for looking and I'm off now to make that last card plus maybe a couple of spares. I also need 5 special cards for my kids and grandkids and 4 more for the teenagers who work in the shop in the evenings and at the weekend.

Hope it's not too snowy where you are. It's horrible here. We've had lots of snow and it's drifted badly. Doesn't help that the snow landed on top of ice. Sounds like another shower just now. I've managed to get to work every day though I've had some scary journeys! Worst of it is the bosses don't appreciate it they just take you for granted! Don't know who has the worst job just now, P.O. counter staff or posties. Well in general the posties don't have to deal with people who expect you to stick on their stamps for them. I don't mind 1 or 2 but do I look like I want a furry tongue sticking on other people's stamps?! Not to mention complaining about the cost - well why don't they send gift vouchers? - and turning without even a thank you or goodbye. Sorry rant over! Actually these people are the same all year round and not just at Christmas.

I'll shut up now and get the last of my cards done. I've got a really nasty hack on my thumb  and it's very sore so hope I don't bleed on my cards. Mostly this is due to pups being in and out all the time they're awake and me not drying my hands properly. If I can find time I'll need to try to post some pics of them. They're 3 months old now and getting big and even more cheeky.

Totally Gorjuss 59 Sketch.

Good morning everyone and it's the first Saturday in December and time for another sketch from Net. We are sponsored again by the lovely and ever generous Joanna Sheen and we have a £10 voucher for the lucky winner. Joanna's online store is full of lovely goodies and there is no p&p to pay. I don't know about you but I can always find something I like there.

Here is my take on Net's lovely sketch.

I used :-

Image :- LOTV cute square cut out with an oval nestie.

Sentiment and Card candy :- Craftwork cards.

Snowflake :- Martha Stewart punch.

Sizzix & Cuttlebug embossing folders and lots of glitter.

I seem to be really into blue and white cards at the moment and these LOTV cute squares are really useful when you're in a hurry and have a lot of cards to make. I'd like to enter the following challenges :-
Craft Your Days Away challenge :- Texture.

Cute Card Thursday :- The Blues.

If you haven't been over to Totally Gorjuss yet do try to pop over and see what gorgeous cards my talented teamies have made this week. We also have 2 new Guest Gorjussettes for the next few months, Karina and Patricia and we are also joined this week by the very talented Rach Jakes so it's definitely worth checking out the Totally Gorjuss challenge this week.

I'll catch up with you later when I've successfully negotiated the snow on my way back from my work. Enjoy your weekend and thanks for looking.

Just Cute Bears#36 Swirls and Bling.

Good morning everyone and I hope you're having a nice weekend in spite of the weather! At least the weather here hasn't been very nice here in the Aberdeenshire. After 2 horrendous days I was very surprised to come home from a crop yesterday afternoon and find two of our neighbours combining barley. It must have been pretty wet so the drying costs will be horrendous. I suppose they must be getting desperate now. I know what it's like as we used to have a farm until my husband eventually saw sense  and sold the farm six years ago. He works just as hard now but at least it's not for the bank!!

But enough waffling. This week at Just Cute Bears we would like to see swirls and bling as well as a bear on your creations. We are sponsored by Paula at Pollycraft this week so I'm sure the winner will have a treat in store.

Thanks to everyone who joined us last week. I enjoyed visiting your blogs and seeing how you interpreted our "Punch it" challenge. I'm hoping many of you will join us again this week. I'm still firmly in Christmas card mode and I thought the theme of swirls and bling was perfect for another Christmas card. So here it is.

I used :-

Image :- Forever Friends.

DP :- MME.

Colouring :- Promarkers, Sakura clear glitter gel pen.

Swirl and snowflake :- Sizzix.

Card Candy :- Craftwork Cards.

Ribbon, gems, button, string and Stickles.



I followed the sketch over at Friday Sketchers so I'll be entering this card in their challenge. I'd also like to enter the challenge at Charisma Cardz where the challenge is Anything Goes.

Thanks for looking and hope you like. If you have time to leave a comment I'd be really pleased. Please pop over to Just Cute Bears if you haven't already done so and see what my talented teamies have made this week. I'm sure they'd be pleased if you left them a comment too.

Oops I forgot to say that our challenge is moving to fortnightly so you have until 9th of  October to enter and our next challenge will be on the 10th of October.

Enjoy what's left of the weekend.

Last One Today.

This is definitely my last post this evening because I still haven't done my Tesco home shopping order yet!

I've just used the same sketch as before. Another Sizzix snowflake, another Penny Black hedgie coloured with Promarkers, some more card candy from Craftwork Cards and some MME DP. Simple and quick. I usually spend ages choosing an image and papers so this is quite a change for me. But now I'm just glad to get another card in my box.

I'm sure most of you will agree with me that the number of people who get a hand made Christmas card and actually appreciate it is probably very small so it is probably daft to go to too much effort. Having said that if I had time I would most likely do different cards for everyone and put the same amount of effort into every card. Really I just enjoy the challenge of making a different card every time lol!!

I'm off to take a photo of the card now and add it to this post. Sorry about the quality of the photo, the silver snowflake doesn't take a good photo in artificial light!

I won't be able to do anything tomorrow as I'm getting my hair cut after work and then probably going to a friend's house for a crafting session. Then in the evening I'm going for my first Christmas meal with my friends from the WRI. I'm really looking forward to this as we have a lovely meal and what we call in the North East of Scotland a "good news".

See you on Thursday.

Warm Wishes.

Hi girls me again for the second time today. I finished this card this evening after work. I was hoping to enter it in the Whiff of Joy challenge. I might be too late now though. Never mind another Christmas card is very welcome. I followed the sketch from Whiff of Joy and coloured this lovely image of Henry mouse with hot chocolate....yummm, with Promarkers. I used some lovely wassail DP from Basic Grey. The card candy and sentiment is from Craftwork cards. I used a Martha Stewart punch to edge of a piece of cardstock with a double hole scallop. The flowers are white ones from Hero Arts which I also coloured with a Promarker and finished with brads.

I think this also fits the Stamp Something challenge :- Glitzy somethings - I've added some jewels and stickles on the hat.
Whimsy :- Die cuts.
the Pink Elephant :- Favourite Christmas colour combination.

I managed to make this card this morning just to see how it worked and whether I would make any more similar to it. I think I might. The large snowflake is a Sizzix die. The image is Penny Black again coloured with Promarkers. The sentiment and card candy is from Craftwork Cards again. Not really much to it but it would be quick to do and I could vary the image and the DP which this time is MME colourful Christmas.

I've used a sketch that I followed some time ago because I thought it would be simple and quick to follow to make a few cards. After checking out some of the challenges I often enter I think it would fit the Creative Card Crew challenge which is gold or silver.

I'm off now to explore another couple of ideas I've had. I really need to get a move on because once I've finished these cards I'll be the lucky person who has the privilege of writing them. I also know for a fact that I need to revise my labels to sort the ones I don't need any more and the ones where the details have changed.

Maybe if I'm really quick (lol) I'll be back with another card later.

Oh Christmas Tree!

Another post! I'm having a better day today for crafting. I made this card tonight to hopefully fit a few challenges. I used the sketch from the Truly Scrumptious challenge. They also want a sparkly flourish so I cut out a Sizzix flourish from silver glitter card and added some jewels for even more sparkle. I used the gorgeous MME Signature DP which I love. I used Promarkers to colour the sweet image from Sugar Nellies. I cut out the image with nesties and distressed the edge with Vintage Photo Distress Inks. I used a sentiment from Craftwork Cards and finished off with a Martha Stewart snowflake and a jewel.

I hope to enter the following challenges:-
Secret Crafter :- Christmas Trees.
Passion for Promarkers :- Vintage and any colour of Promarkers.
Truly Scrumptious :- Sketch plus sparkly flourish.
ABC :- I for indigo - papers.
Creatalicious Challenges :- Snowflakes and lots of sparkle.

I hope you like it! Now late as usual I'm going to do some ironing. Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Can't believe that's it almost over for another week. Time seems to be going rather quickly at the moment - or is it just me?

I won't be able to do anything tomorrow as I'm at work all day and then I have a Guild meeting. Since it is St. Andrew's Day we are having entertainment and soup and trifle. It probably won't be a late night so at least I might be able to start another card.

Just Magnolia 27 and Stamping for the Weekend.

First of all girls I must apologise for the quality of the photos but we have had so much rain since yesterday that you almost need a snorkel and flippers to walk the dogs lol!! I have had to have the light on all day so that does not add up to good photos.

I quickly made this simple card for the Just Magnolia Challenge and the Stamping for the Weekend Challenge.

The first photo doesn't really show how zingy the colours are and the snowflakes are not very clear so I have done one of my strange angle photos which shows the snowflakes a bit better and the colours are a bit brighter - I hope!

The weird angle!

I used:-

DP:- MME colourful Christmas
Colouring:- Promarkers and turquoise Vivid inkpad.
Image:- Tilda in overalls - just humour me pretend she is wearing a snowsuit or ski-suit.
Nesties, Sizzix and Martha Stewart punch.
Jewels coloured with orange promarker, stickles on pompom on hat, other jewels, buttons and string from stash.

Not sure if I like this card or not, what do you think. I'll have to add it to my pile of Christmas cards anyway - I still need a lot more.

Maybe be back later with another card.

Sophisticats 5 and House Mouse DT Call.

This is my second card from the crop. I used the lovely sketch from Sophisticats Challenge 5. This is great sketch because it can be as simple or as ornate as you want. I am also entering this in the DT call for House Mouse Challenge Blog.I have used a lovely House Mouse image coloured with Promarkers and watercolour pencil. The snowflake is a Sizzix and the flowers are punched out from some of the papers with EK Success punches and finshed off with jewels from my stash. The corner is cut out of the DP with a punch and the button and string are from my stash. The Sophisticat challenge also asks for bling - the snowflake is from glitter paper, the flowers have jewels and the lovely wonderful winter paper from MME is all glittered and lush.

I'm just a bit worried now that the card is too plain for a DT call!! Well not plains so much as maybe the image is too simple. Some of my House Mouse stamps are quite big and since I am in Christmas card making mode at the moment I limited myself to choosing only from my Christmas images. Stop waffling Kat and just post LOL!!!


Two down, two to go!!

A Spoon Full of Sugar 70.

Hello everyone seems like I've not got much to show for my day off! Probably spent too much time footering (faffing) about. And then it's been quite a dull day here so it was difficult to get a decent photo. At first sight I thought this lovely sketch from a Spoon Full of Sugar was a bit complicated but it was actually quite easy to work with. I used my Promarkers to colour this lovely Christmas Manga Girl from Sugar Nellies. She's really sweet isn't she? This time I used these gorgeous new papers - wonderful winter from MME. The large snowflake is from a Sizzix die and the others are from a Martha Stewart punch and another punch. The buttons are from my stash.This paper is gorgeous, all glittery and really thick and it's really easy to put the different patterns together. Now this is really unusual for me but I quite like this card lol!!

Hope some of you like it too. Please tell me what you think - is it ok? or is it just a mess?

Maybe be back later with another post if I can get another card to work out and get a half decent photo.

Die Cut Dreams DT Call.

Die Cut Dreams challenge blog are having a DT call. They are looking for two people to join their team. The call is open until midnight on Friday 25th September and the new team will be announced on Sunday evening 27th September. You have to make a "pink" card or project and post it on your blog with a link to Die Cut Dreams challenge blog and then leave a comment over on Die Cut Dreams with a link to your work. If you go over to http://diecutdreams.blogspot.com/you can read all the details of what is involved.

As you can see from the fact that the DT call ends tomorrow I was not sure about trying for the DT. But hey nothing to lose and I do like pink lol! I did think about trying it last week but with pressure of work I just didn't have the time. So I have been faffing about all morning trying to get it done.

I used the lovely sketch from http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/ and DP from DCWV. I used Promarkers, including some of the new ones, to colour this lovely Christmas Manga fairy from Sugar Nellies. Isn't she cute? I used my Martha Stewart embossed snowflake edge punch on some of the DP. I sewed round the edges of the rest of the DP. I went over the fairy's wing and the star on her wand with a Sakura clear glitter gel pen. The snowflakes were cut out using a Sizzix die for the larger one and a punch for the other two and then I edged them with a Promarker pen to match the fairy and put them in place with raised glue dots. Since they are cut out from white glitter card they have turned out a different colour!!I finished off with some brads and ribbon from my stash.


I love this fairy, she is so easy to colour. I'm not really one for using fairies a lot but this one is sweet without being too sickly! Hope you like my card and wish me luck with the DT call. I'm not that hopeful but maybe one day I will be lucky enogh to join a DT, you never know.

I'm off now to see what I can do before it is time to feed and walk the dogs and finish making our tea. It's been lovely here, hope it's been nice where you are.

Christmas Present.

I made this card this afternoon using the great sketch from Mojo Monday. I coloured this sweet House Mouse image with promarkers and stickled the pompom and brim of the hat. The sentiment, ribbon and sticky ribbon are all from Papermania. The DP is from Forever Friends from last year. I cut out snowflakes from white glitter paper with Sizzix dies in my Cuttlebug and used nesties to cut the circles. The DP has snowflakes on it which unfortunately don't show up very well even on the first photo which was taken outside! Black jewels are from my stash. All the edges are inked with black. The next photo is not much better and just reminds me that the Merry Christmas could have been stamped better!!

But this is not a Christmas card it is a gift card holder. This House Mouse image was also coloured with Promarkers. The corners to hold the gift card were cut out using a punch. I think this fits the Cute Card Thursday challenge for hidden treasure. I think I might be pushing my luck with the Pollycrafts challenge for black, white and one colour!!

So the challenges I hope to enter are:-

Mojo Monday:- Sketch.

Sophisticat Challenge:- Make anything to hold something eg gift voucher, cash etc.

Pollycraft Challenge:- Black, white and one colour.

House Mouse Monday Challenge:- A challenge from the past year - #50 gift card holder.

Cute Card Thursday:- Hidden Treasure.

Allsorts Challenge:- Snowflakes.

I'm off to post this now and enter the challenges.

Thanks for looking and please tell me what you think. It makes my day to read your kind comments.

Saturday Challenges.

I'm just ready to run out the door to go to a very boring meeting so I'll be back later to explain what this is all about!

The challenge this week on Create4fun was to make a milk carton. I made the template as big as my programme would allow but it is still not very big. It is cute though. My daughter says it wouldn't hold many Lindor choccies lol! I used some Penny Black stamps for two sides plus the sentiment. I watercoloured the images and added some stickles for snow and on the doggie's hat. I cut out two snowflakes with a Sizzix die. I used my nesties to cut out scalloped squares and the plain squares of DP. I actually printed the template onto plain paper first so that I could figure out how to make up the milk carton! When I was sure I knew what I was doing I printed onto red card. It was actually quite easy to make and fun. You could make one up with a little gift for any sort of occasion.

Challenges:-

Penny Black Saturday Challenge:- Christmas.

Create4fun:- Milk carton.

Pollycraft 23 :- Furry Friends.

Secret Crafter:- Wings.

My photos are even worse than usual! We have had such awful weather here. I even went outside to try to get them - if I had had it finished before I went to work in the afternoon I would have got on better as it was sunny then. But I was good this morning and did my housework before going near my craft area.

My meeting didn't last too long, that is the best I can say about it! Have a nice weekend everyone, hope the weather is better than it has been - especially yesterday!
