Hi all, Just a quick post to tell you what happening in my life and post a couple of Christmas creations. Well this weekend I've waved my daughter off to work in Italy for 6 months! After being offered a 4 month placement with a British retailer designing knitwear she was also offered a 6 month placement with a Italian design house, so it didn't take much for her to decide to opt for the Italian job (sorry couldn't resist it!)
We are so very proud of her achievements and wish her the best of luck in her future career. I miss her loads already, after having her home for a month, it was pretty hard to say bye to her as she set off for her adventures in Europe. I can't wait to get a full run down of her first full day in her new job, but it's restricted to text messages at the moment until she gets an internet connection.
Ok, so back to crafting, which I have been doing even though I've not been blogging of late. Here's a few cards made with the bits and bobs I bought with my birthday money.
Here's a digital card made with the new Me to you cd for docrafts, I've only added a button and a bit of ribbons to the top and some glitter of course. This will be my Mum's birthday card.
Here's couple Christmas cards made with the super cute stamps from Lili of the valley, I just couldn't resist them and want the whole set, well both sets but we have to eat!
Here's a couple of Christmas sweeties to add to my ever growing pile of Christmas cards. I'm hoping to do a party to sell some of my makes towards the end of this month so really need to keep up the pace. I've been trying to make at least 2 cards a day for Christmas so that's why I've not entered that many challenges lately. 
As you can see I've gone a bit Tatty Teddy mad. Loving using the Me to You cd and just recieved the Christmas Tatty Teddy kit from create and craft this morning so rushed upstairs to my craftroom to produce yet more cards ready to sell or use at Christmas. Hope you like my efforts?
The cards are using the new digi images from All that scraps so so cute and easy to make a stunning card.
My latest batch of Christmas cards, loving the Bentley bear downloads from one of my craft magazine subscriptions so cute. I'm working this weekend so no time to craft boo hoo!
Here's the bits I've made for the order for my next door neighbours mum. The top photo is gift card wallets (one more to make yet, was lossing the will to live by the time I'd finished doing all these) The Christmas cards are a penny black stamp I've had for several years and comes out every year cos it's just so cute. Now just got to cover a couple more diaries and I'm done for the orders. Just got to make up some more presents, bought some nice round baskets in the body shop outlet store in Street today so I can make up my candle/pot pourri combo. Have a good Saturday evening we're off to your friends for some drinks and nibbles later on, should be fun!
Anyway the christmas card making continues still have to make a load for work, everyone knows I make cards so can't get away with giving bought ones.
