Merry Christmas

Everyone!

Happy Birthday to Whoo!

Hi all - I am so proud of this card! I just love it! I made it about a week ago for a friend who really LOVES owls and have planned to make her a punched owl card ever since we had that arvo playing with the punches...... But then..... I forgot her birthday!!!!!!! Can you believe it!!! I was horrified!!!!!! Her birthday was the day after my DH's in NOVEMBER!!.... So I hope she liked it and forgives me... LOL (I still haven't made my DH a card....)

I have made another one of these cards - in different colours and designs - but I don't think it would have arrived yet so will have to wait to put it on here.

I got the idea for this from a bought card that another friend received, and thought that I liked the idea so went home and had a play with sizings and folds until I was happy with the base.

And just for you Jacqui :) I remembered to write down my measurements:

Start with a sheet 10" x 6" then score and fold along the 10" side at 2", 3", 5", & 7" - almost like making a step card, only sideways.

You could make it 8" long and score at 2", 3", 5" & 6" but that leaves the last panel only 2" long instead of 3" and I preferred the wider panel for putting more on.

Sympathy cards...

Hi all - these are two sympathy cards I made about a month or so ago. I wanted something subdued and pretty. This flower is just so beautiful to colour.

Christmas Cards...

Hi all - These are the cards I made for my 'girls'. I made 23 in total and BOY was I SICK of tying ribbons!!! LOL - They will enjoy knowing that! As they complain every time I put ribbon on one of the workshop cards (which is often! LOL)

I got the inspiration for this wonderful idea from here. From the lovely and talented Debbie P. Thank you Debbie, for your wonderful inspiration. Debbie made hers quite a while ago and I have had the link saved ever since knowing that that was the card I was going to make.

I've really quite surprised myself this year (and with working...) as I am more organised at this stage of Christmas than I have been for many Christmases. It is such a good feeling LOL. Hope it stays this way (for a little while at least...)

Very Belated Birthday Crad...

Hi all - this is the card that I made for my BIL - It was a very belated birthday card. We went away for a family weekend together between my DH and BIL's birthday and it was decided that we would celebrate their birthdays while there. And I don't know what I was thinking.... 'cause it didn't even cross my mind to take a card (let alone his pressy) with us!!!!! then it was another week or two before we saw them again after that to give it to him. * groan* LOL - good thing our family is so understanding with me....... :)

Not all that bad I suppose considering I haven't yet made a card for my own wonderful DH... And his birthday was first!!! .....

My Very First Chrissy Card...

Hi all - here is the very first Chrissy card that I have received this year. It was made by a good friend who comes to my workshops each month. It always gives me such pride and joy when I see their creations. And I think she has done a wonderful job. (Same friend who made the super cute invites in the previous post)

Groovy Surfin' Santa Invite....

Hi all - just wanted to show you the great invite I got from a close friend. She had ordered this stamp set just to make these invites!!!

Isn't it just the greatest!!! How Australian is this!!!

And she has coloured them all in with glitter pens so they really *SPARKLE* IRL!

I personally thought it was SOOO cute!! :D

Catch ya!
