Just Christmas And Birthday Cards - Sketch #14

I am having a crafty afternoon and though I would try a few challenges...here is the 1st one I have done for Just Christmas and Birthday Cards.

The challenge is to follow the sketch below and make 1 birthday card and 1 christmas card or you can still enter if you just make 1.

I have packed all my christmas card stash away so I have just made a birthday card.

An Award And Some Random Cards....

Good morning...

Moni has nominated me for this gorgeous Marie Antoinette award....thank you so much Moni for thinking of me. I am suppose to nominate another 7 people for this award but it so hard to choose so again I am going to be naughty and pass on to all of you who visit my blog.

Your visits and comments are appreciated so much x x x

Here are a few random cards which I have been working on to sell. Got the post office and the hairdressers stocked up so just the beauty salon to go now. I am not doing the cards with the pottery lady as she wishes to share the rent that the garden centre charge her and I won't make enough to commit to that.

(Whoops forgot to edit this pic...Lol)

Look At These Cutie's...New From Pollycraft

Good Morning...Its a little frosty and cold here in Yorkshire and I would normally stay indoors to keep my tootsies warm but will be braving the cold weather to go on a little shopping trip.

I am meeting Marcea at The Range...yipee a crafty shopping day with coffee and cake and a good old chinwag!!! Its brilliant to meet and share time with another crafter, swapping hints and tips...we make a good pair too as by hell we can both talk!!!!! Lol

I am going to try and keep my hands in my pockets tho as it seems that my spending has been working over time in all these January sales!!! I made another visit to The Glitter Pot but seems the site was sooo busy that the pages wouldn't load properly....do you think someone was trying to tell me something??!!! How can you resist some gorgeous stamps tho for less than 3 quid!!! I may just have a little look over there in a mo....

Last night I was home alone while Steve went out to a footie do at Elland Road so surprise, surprise I spent my night crafting. Here is what I came upwith using the new Patchwork Elephants from Pollycraft...aren't they so cute and adorable.

You can buy the downloads HERE at a fantastic price of £1.59 for 2 A4 sheets...6 images on each, one sheet coloured and the other uncoloured. Have a browse around at the other gorgeous downloads and stamps (Christmas one's in sale)....then come along and join us for the Pollycraft Monday Challenge...HERE.

See some sneaky peeks HERE of a new range Paula is working on too....'Sharing Sherbert' - coming very soon.

A Couple Of Awards....

Good morning....hope you are well. I am feeling a little off it, well like I have been run over by a bus to be honest so nothing too strenuous for me today. I feel soooo tired...

Anyway enough of moaning!!! Two lovely ladies have nominated me for awards......

Firstly Maree (The Twins Mum)

An secondly Joanne (Crafting Joanne)

Thank you sooo much ladies for thinking of me x x x
I am going to be naughty and not nominate the specific amount of people to pass these awards onto...its soooo hard to choose. I would like any of my visitors to take these awards if you haven't already got them and show them on your blog with pride and love from me.

A Couple Of Random Cards...

Good afternoon....I got my household jobs done this morning (yuck!!) and have been crafting for the afternoon. I have managed to enter a few challenges and am continuing to make cards to sell.

I have also been talking to a lady who runs pottery painting classes at the local garden centre/tea rooms and we may be going into a joint venture. Hopefully it will work well with the children as they will be able to decorate the pottery and then make a card to match.

Here are a couple of cards I have made to sell...
