I need to post this quickly before Homeland starts!!!

Christmas Card Swap Card #1
I've started on my 5 cards for the card swap! I really wanted to use the Lili of the Valley 'Fur Cones' because I just think it's such a cute image & whilst it's not an all-out Christmas image, I love it! Now I must admit I'm not a 'fussy card' maker ie. I don't… Continue reading Christmas Card Swap Card #1

I've been asked to take part in an international card swap! How exciting! So I put my name in the hat & got 5 other ladies to send cards to. The deadline for posting cards is 30th November so I'd better get my skates on!

Christmas Cards 1
Here are the three Christmas cards I made for my three nieces (the little keychains and mobile phone charms are detachable so they are mini presents too - they are too small to have mobile phones, but I tought they could probably put them on pencil cases or coat zips) I bought these blank window… Continue reading Christmas Cards 1
Christmas Card update
Eeek!!! I have cut it a bit fine, but my handmade Christmas Cards are finished to send off to my friends!! Slightly different from the original suggestion, but I think it's better to not have them exactly the same so they are a bit original.

OMG!! I got my copy of Cardmaking & Papercraft the second it came out and October's issue is all about Christmas Cards (already!!?). I loved the Contemporary design 'Holly swirls' on page 25 so much I wanted to make them for my friends... So off I went to Hobby Craft to get the cards and… Continue reading Christmas Cards
