Perfect Christmas tag .

Are you a "huggy " sort of person ? You know , always hug your friends when you see them and again when you say bye , catch you later .
 Well that's me , first to hug and last to let go , I think .

Hi there , welcome to my room and thank you for calling in . This is where I give you a huge cyber hug and ask how have you been . I hope that you and yours are well . Have you been crafting lately or is life in general keeping you busy and away from your  desk ?

What about me , you ask . Still finding time short and only limited  blogging . I get to make 3 card  kit sets every week though so got to be happy with that .Oh and I think that I am up to date with visiting those who have left kind words on my posts .

I would like to share my weekly Christmas card make now .

And I would like to enter it into

Thick , SU white card base , Gingham paper from my stash . Red ribbon from my stash .

Real Red ,SU for tag .

Printed image from Pinterest onto Whisper White SU card 

Using circle dies to shape the tag 

The tag top was made by using SU  label and small circle punches

The greeting is from a retired SU set , Four The Holidays .

for something different I placed the sentiment on left side of inside as I want to write a lot on the right panel 

I don't think Christmas is necessarily about things. It's about being good to one another, it's about the Christian ethic, it's about kindness.

Christmas... is not an external event at all, but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart.

Birthday wishes from friends

Hello blog pals ,welcome to my room and thanks for calling in .

I hope that all is well with you and yours .

Had a fabulous craft morning with two delightful friends after which we went out for a light lunch . 

Lunch was delicious but the odor  from near by council rubbish bin was not so pleasant .

I am sharing today one of the cards made today .

Choc Chip card base , SU . Paper from my stash . Centre sentiment and punch used , SU .

Stamp set Badges and Banners . 

Images from Stampers Anonymous were coloured with copics  then die cut . 

Have not made a DL sized card for a while so I was happy that I did have envelopes and self seal bags to suit .

Thank you once again for your visit . 

The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.
