Congratulations!


Morning crafty friends, thanks for popping by my little corner of the internet!
Not much planned for today so hopefully I'll manage an hour (or 3) at
my crafty desk, there's a couple of challenges that are new to me that I'd like
to enter so fingers crossed today's the day!
First though, I have a card to share......this one I made to send to the
winner of my Lovely Ladies challenge. I know Sarah has received it now so
hope she doesn't mind me sharing it.
It's probably one of the simplest cards to make but I think so special as it
can be made with any papers at all........and any sentiment can be added too
which makes it so versatile & so very useful to have in your card box.
Rightio, I'll stop waffling for now....thanks for calling & for any comments
you might leave......see you tomorrow!

One Sheet Wonder #1


Hi crafty friends, hope you're all well.
I got the urge to make something Christmas the other day and here's what I
came up with........a set of 4 mini cards! Each measures 4 x 4 inches & are made
with just one sheet from a 6 x 6 paper pad! The sheet was cut into the 4 squares,
matted onto green card them I used foam pads to adhere the panels to the card
blanks. I finished with a die cut sentiment, die cut snowflakes & faux gems.
Thanks to everyone who asked how Dr appointments went yesterday, they were
 both diabetic appointments, blood sugars are still way too high so more tablets for
 that & the other appointment was a retina screening so I just need to wait for
the results for that.
Rightio, I'm away to do the jobs....thanks for calling.....see you tomorrow!

Thanks


Morning crafters, happy Saturday.....hope you're all well.
Just wanted to pop in to share a thank you card my 16 year old Daughter
 asked me to make......I'm so chuffed she wants to send thank you cards.
Apologies for the photo, it was so hard to take a decent one & this was the best of a
 bad bunch!! I used favourite design of mine, super quick & easy and uses minimal 
amounts of stash - 1 card blank, 1 scrap of patterned paper from the scrap box, 1 
piece of white card, scrap of pink and 2 faux gems!
Rightio, that's my lot for today.....I have an urge to go create something Christmassy!
Thanks for calling, have a lovely day & I'll see you tomorow.
