Hi everyone

Thank you for all your lovely messages on Saturday :-)  In fact I felt a bit better as the day went on and even made another card whilst watching X-Factor ... 2 cards in one day is unheard of for me lol!

I have another Christmas card ticked off my list ... this one is for my auntie and her partner.

Good afternoon

 

I am having one of those days today ... you know the ones where you have loads to do but not achieving much!  I am feeling a bit sad because it would have been my dad's 65th birthday today and to top if off I am coming down with a cold so all in all feeling a bit down in the dumps.  To try and cheer myself up I decided to make a card this morning but even that didn't work out as I had planned it in my head.  Oh well I guess they can't all be masterpieces lol!

 

Anyway enough of my woes and onto my card!

Good afternoon

Hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend.  It's been a long week ... in fact all day Tuesday I thought it was Thursday so the weekend couldn't come soon enough for me! 

 

Anyway before I heat up some soup for lunch and then crack on with the housework thought I would quickly blog one of the cards I made this week.  It's another Christmas card in my favourite traditional colours ... I do like non-traditional colours but rich red, green and gold is my fav!

Good afternoon

 

Hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend ... it's been a busy week for me with one thing and another so think i'm just going to take it easy and maybe squeeze some crafting in here and there :-)

 

As soon as I saw this gorgeous Sheena Douglass robin stamp set a few weeks ago I knew I had to buy it for my Nan's Christmas card ... she loves traditional cards especially with robins.

Sugar Nellie Macbeth

Good morning

 

Hope you are all well today.  It's a beautiful sunny day here albeit a bit chilly but I guess that's to be expected seeing as we are now into November!

 

I had a lovely crafty evening with Chloe on Tuesday ...  she has popped her card on her blog here if you have time to pop over and leave her a comment :-)

 

When I saw the FAB sketch over at The Sugar Bowl this week I decided it was time I made the adorable Macbeth into a card.  I coloured the image a couple of weeks ago so it was just a matter of putting the card together.
