Something Different

I have taken a small break from Christmas cards and have done something a little different I have made a couple of cards for 2 lovely friends that I have made since joing the JS Forum Chris and Christine.  They have now received these cards so I am sure they will not mind me sharing them with you.

This was a ’surprise’card made for my lovely friend Chris she loves fairies as much as I do and could not resist making this one for her.  The image was taken from another new CD that I have ‘Birthday Fairies’.

 

 

This is a Halloween card that I made for my other lovely friend Christine.  The image was taken from my new ‘Vintage Pin Ups’ Cd that some of you liked.  A little different than the normal Halloween cards.

 

 

This card is using the ‘pump’ from the Serendipity range that Joanna stocks I love the brown, beige muted tones and I think it fits this image just right.  The backing paper is K & Co and I have used the Versafine Sepia stamp pad for the image again these stamp pads are stocked by Joannas and I hardly use anything else now.

A few More Christmas Cards

        

These are just a small selection of the Christmas cards that I have been making.  I have used a Christmas Moorhead which I have taken from some die cut decoupage that I bought from JS and some Dufex that I got from Crafty Ideas by Kaz.  Please don’t think that my cards have been done wonky its the scanning that was off lol.

Hi 4th October

I haven’t been posting for a few days been a bit ‘off’.  The weather has turned colder (or is it just me) but I will not succumb to putting the heating on yet.  I received a letter from my gas/electric supplier to say the cost will increase by 29%. How are we supposed to cope with this extra cost at this time of the year as well.  Prices seem to be rising for everything at the moment problem is nothing ever goes down.

Anyway on a brighter note I have received my new Cricut what wonderful service from Crafthaven.  Thing is I am a little frightened to open it I know some will think I am silly but I can’t quite believe I have it so it is sat by my craft table waiting…….

I have been making more Christmas cards and I never thought I would ever say this but I am getting fed up with Christmas already.  I think I will take a break and make something different and will post it asap.

It has been wonderful that more Sheenies have created blogs to show of their lovely cards my favourites list is getting very long as I save all the blog sites so I can visit as and when.

I think I will start to join in the challenges again I feel as if I am missing out not entering cards for all these lovely challenges that are going on.

Well I am off for another cuppa to warm me up will be posting again soon.

Hugs
