2nd Christmas card

Hi there .

Welcome to my room , and thank you for calling in .

My cardmaking friends who share time with me here at home suggested that we make one Christmas card a week at least . Now , I was quick to agree , because last year I was really short of handmade cards and had to send a couple  [ well, a few actually] of  shop bought ones .

So as usual my style will be simple and mostly quick cards .

here is #2

Card base is from SU , papers free from magazineand my stash . 

The image and the inside sentiment  is from SU  set, Bells and Boughs.

 

 

 

The inside

 

 

Hope you like this one .

As I have been blogging lately as a  DT member for Make it Monday and

Kraftyhands Challenge Blog  I see that there are many cardmakers with the same idea and are sharing their 2013 Christmas collections too .

If you have begun your collection leave a link in a comment here for this post and if I get a few I will choose one to feature on my next weeks  Christmas card post.

 

Just a final note , a  family titbit ..

 

Yesterday I mentioned following your dream ..well wearing a Mum's hat now  and I want to plug Michelle's new on line shop . Small steps , just beginning her dream .Love it if you would pop over to the shop and say hi and wish her well cause it can be rather daunting trying something new ..

 

Craft can make you happy .

Perfect Partner

Hello , welcome to my room .
Thanks for calling in, and I hope you enjoy your browsing  .
Have an order for some vintage cards .  Tonight will share another of my efforts .
This beautiful image was a Birthday gift from Jane
called Perfect Partner from Papermania Art Decor..
I have paper pieced her frock and coloured the rest with copics
added a pearl to her hat and a strip of pearls about the middle of front of card
Paper is from SU , Comfort Cafe.
I would have liked to colour his suit black but was too timid so I stuck with grey .
Hope that the image looks ok over hanging the part frame I placed it on .
What do you think?
The image is about 14.5 cm tall .
                                                                                     

There's that change of colour again ..sorry about picture of inside

 

 

Love this image and now I cant wait to spend that craft shop voucher that Fran and Sandy gave me .

When I do I dont know where I will put any thing I do buy ..my room is bursting at the seams .

But ..hey ..I'll worry about that later..not !!

 

Well might go and make myself a milo and see if  Michelle wants to sit at her PC and have one with me . Will get on with some comments then I think ..

Have to check out her new  Australian on Line shop  too , I hear there are some great new masculine stamp sets on show .

OOPS  milo damm hot ! Dunking a couple of bickies will cool it down some ...yum yum ..

Will enter into some challenges ..like ...

1st for the year 2013...

Christmas card that is!

Hi there everyone . Thanks for calling in . Glad you're here and hope you enjoy your browsing .
Last year for one reason or another I made very few Christmas cards ... This year I warned my craft buddies that on Tuesdays I will have one Christmas card kit for them  to complete .  Sandy and Fran seemed quite happy to do that so look forward to creating some Christmas CAS cards .
Here is todays.     Sorry it is such an aweful photo .
 Was taken outside in natural light and against white background  too but white is showing cream .
The card base is white as is the JOY tab.
The image is from a card topper sheet by lilly of the valley.

 

The inside is a preprinted  white insert from a pack I have had since year dot !

 

Well I am off to start dinner .
Craft away ...it's fun .
