WOYWW 177

Hasn't a week passed quickly I cant believe its Wednesday again; which means its time for WOYWW hosted by the talented  Julia, hop over and have a look if you've not came across it before. I'm a bit late today not up early enough but better late than never..I should think about posting before I go to bed ..mmm...idea! Thank you to all the WOYWWers last week, who visited and those who gave me advice and great ideas re my stamping dilemma it’s very much appreciated, I've got a few to try out and will keep you posted! My cold has finally gone and I'm back to Christmas card making again the new plan is a week on and a week off unless I get behind and don’t have enough Christmas cards made. made a couple of non Christmas cards over the weekend using a cute bear from stamp from Craftwork Cards that I hadn't used since I bought it. Sorry I don’t have another finished product to show for this weeks efforts yet, as I'm still at the planning stages as you can see; I like to get all the bits that I might use before I finally start putting it all together although this time I'm working on a few cards at the same time rather than just one…not sure yet whether that’s a good idea or not yet as it does make for  a crowded desk ! Anyway must dash Julia likes it kept short and sweet and I tend to babble on a bit!...why don’t you hop over to WOYWW and check out what everyone else is up to as that’s where I'm heading ….sorry photos are a bit dark its a damp miserable morning !..until next week hopefully have a great week…hugs..x

  13. You make your Christmas cards like me...I like to have everything out as I have memory problems and will forget to use something if i don't see it. I usually pick a theme like snowflakes and then put out everything for that theme and the coordinating extras like string, charms etc and then go to town!
    Your card bit and bobs look great. Can't wait to see the finished cards.

  34. You have a plan and seem to be on a roll I would stick to it, it is working right. If it aint broke don't fix it, leave it be. Well that is my advice. I think you have managed quite a few things and it doesn't look messy at all. Keep up the great work and nice card by the way, so cute.
