To you all, my family and I thank you for the beautiful cards and Christmas wishes.


Ps: And on the note of moving on, I see I still have cards saved in draft from mid November..... LOL

KWerner Challenge #36

Short and sweet... here is my card for Kristina's latest colour challenge. Very simple but I really like how it turned out.

Thanks for looking.

Step Chrissy Cards....

Hi all again - here is my 'pride and joy' Chrissy card. I made a couple of these to send to some card making/demonstrator friends. A little adventurous for making more than one and at this time of year but I was very happy with how they turned out. I really wanted something special for these girls as I always get apprehensive when making cards for seasoned card makers.. Yeah, yeah I know, I shouldn't, but I do.... But as I said I was very pleased with how it turned out.

Here is a close up to show the glitter detail (just for fun LOL)

And here is another idea that I got half way through making the other ones. I needed one more card for someone else who loves making things for other people so I thought she would love one of these also.

Ps: All Stampin' Up products
Pss: I got the idea for a step card from Splitcoast Stampers.

Christmas Cards....

Hi all - hope you all had a great Chrissy and that 'Santa' bought you all that you wished for....

This was the first lot of bulk cards I made (after my stamp-a-stack cards). I first saw the idea for these on my upline, Karen's blog long ago so will give the credit there. Hers were a little fancier that mine but I was very pleased with how mine turned out. And don't they look pretty in all the different colours (if I do say so myself... YILM). I was guided by the coloured ribbons I had and made the base card and sentiment etc in the same colour for each one. I so loved how they turned out that I made another batch of 12 for another group. But with those ones I added another layer of card stock and cut out the corners of the white card stock with a small circle punch. I was very please with those also but chose not to take a photo at the time thinking that they were too close to these.... but now i wish I had... (As my DH loves to tell me, "hindsight is a wonderful thing" LOL)

All supplies used were Stampin' Up.

Merry Christmas to you all!!!!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish

you all a very merry Christmas

and a wonderful and prosperous New Year.

May the season of good will shine down brightly

upon you and your family and friends.

Many thanks to you all for your wonderful

support and encouraging comments.

I look forward to reading many more

in the new year.

Thanks again,

Love Debbie

The Last... I Think...

And these were the cards that I made to go with the stamp set for the lucky door prize. As you can see, I have used the Hostess stamp, From the Garden, and have cased these straight out of the current SU catalogue to show the girls how easy, quick and beautiful these cards are and what a great stamp to have. And I was quite amazed myself as to how nice they turned out 'cause they really are such a nice simple idea.

OK I think that is all I have to show from my last workshop (About time! - that was over a month ago and I took the photos as I made the items....

Now I will start showing Chrissy cards so that should keep me going till the end of January ROFLOL!... And let's not forget that we have had a couple of birthdays in there as well LOL.......

And still more......

I think this is the last of them LOL - These note books were gifts for the Christmas Stamp-a-Stack workshop also. Again I got the idea off SCS and these are cased almost identically to the ones there. They are 'wish lists' but I have made mine just note books. Very cute.....

And I had a small tree which I had covered in candy canes for the girls to take some home for their family members. One of my sister-in-laws came over and helped me make these. (Actually I think she made then all LOL - while I was making other things. I had the tree set up on display with all the presents wrapped underneath and during the course of the afternoon, would draw out a name to come and choose a gift. I had made enough girts so that everyone got one from under the tree. Then at the end of the afternoon I had a final draw for the lucky door prize of a stamp set and a couple of cards. (but that's for another post LOL)
