Old magazine cards part 1

I hope you have all had a great christmas? We did, especially the kids!

As I have not done any crafting over christmas I thought for the last few days of the year I would share some cards which have appeared in Papercraft Inspirations over the past year and have been returned to me.

These are the only ones I till have left as I've used some!

I am scheduling the posts for the next couple of days so I will wish you a happy New Year now and I will see you then!

Notelets set

My daughters teacher commissioned me to make these for her MIL, she doesn't need them till mid-january but inspiration struck and I went with the flow......I just hope she likes green LOL!

All the papers are Making Memories Paperie Greenhouse....aren't they beautiful.

Sorry I haven't blogged for ages but you know what it is like at this time of year!

Merry Christmas to all xxx

Papertake Weekly - Monochrome madness

This weeks challenge is to use one colour! You can use shades of the same colour and small accents of other colours if you like!

This was made using more of the beautiful Stampin' Up paper.

I'm not sure how much I will be around now before christmas so I will wish you all a fantastic Christmas and a very Happy New Year, when normal blogging service will be resumed!

Teachers Gifts

I have made these to go in my Son and Daughter's teacher's gift bags for christmas, they are each getting a small set of toiletries, a small box of After Eights and a notebook in a hand decorated bag (which when they are done I will show you too!)

I am actually almost finished now...all cards made written and sent ,gifts made, all pressies bought (some just need wrapping still though) and all the storable food is bought.

I have one mag. commission left to finish now and then I can relax.

With the kids it just seems to be one long round of discos, Nativities, parties, concerts, etc at the moment so it's a bit chaotic, I will be glad when they break up!

Apologies to the Lili of the Valley team for letting them down this week.....Thursday actually crept up on me without me noticing! The rest of the team have managed perfectly well without me though and have made some lovely cards for your inspiration...I hope you will have time to join in with them?

Anyway Bye for now.......not sure when I will be back!LOL

Papertake Weekly Dawnys Sketch 4

Here is the card I have made for this weeks challenge, another fantastic sketch from our very own Dawny, the rest of the team have made some fab cards I am sure you will agree.

My card was mae with a stamp from Spiral Whisper by Christine Dark and the paper is by Stampin' Up.

Wahhhhhoooooo!

My last 2 christmas card finished!!!!!

One for my Fiance...(no I don't have 2 I just hated the last card I made for him with a passion!) and one for my Daughter.

Damn the good quality mirror card, you can see my reflection in it!LOL

I am soooo happy to be finished, what with commissions I have been making christmas card since July and I am sick of seeing them!

Just a few more gifts to buy, which I hope to get this afternoon and Monday then I am done.
