I don't usually post on a Saturday, but im so organised and pleased with myself that I thought I'd squeeze in some extras and it beats housework . . .that can wait till later! I can’t believe its mid November and I
have almost finished all my Christmas cards...my plan
for card making has paid off, by stamping on mass then colouring all the images
that I wanted to use ..it worked a treat. I then gathered all the necessary bits and bobs ready
for each card together with a plan of each layout in mind. This has made it
really easy to make more than my usual of one card a week, although the hardest
part was choosing what to use as I did have far too many bits and bobs gathered for
each card!
Another bonus was I didn't have so many late nights at work this week; which has also
helped, so I was able to spend more time being creative rather than my usual 5-10 mins
here and there and have to wait until the weekend for any worthwhile time to get
anything done. I have several cards completed that I would like to post over the weekend and this is the
first one. I really love the colours I've used. The Tilda I used is called 'secret present. I've even used left over’s from last years Christmas cards that
I thought might come in handy! I've impressed myself with my resourcefulness
