Today it is lovely sunshine...Thank goodness....yesterday was snow! I feel so much better when the sun shines, so today the washer is on and I have a mental list of 'TO DO's'. Lets hope I achieve them!!
So before I head off to the craft room (grin).........well the washer is doing the house work today isn't it?.......I have a Christmas card to share with you. This card has taken so long to come together so that I was happy with it, and has sat on my desk in several stages until I had a'light bulb' moment and BINGO...I made two the same while I was on a roll!!...lol How can one get excited about bits of card??
Everything is made from Snippets of varying sizes...so I am rushing to the Playground this week before it snows again.
The Gingerbread man is a Tonic die and the greeting is LOTV. The washi tape was a find on my travels that just fitted the bill !
So a handful of C Cards down and umpteen to go!..............all the important family ones still to crack on with!
Hubby and I had a good but tiring time at the NEC visiting all the shows last week. Managed to do quite a bit of the Christmas shopping and I didn't spend too much on crafty bits for me..........so feeling pleased with myself (smug grin here)...........and just to sicken those people that keep reminding us there are only so many days/sleeps left to Christmas.......some of the presents are already wrapped! (another smug grin and a wink).
Right coffee time.....anyone for joining me?........then its on with the 'To Do's'.
Thanks for stopping by, I love it when you do, especially if you let me know you have been.
Take care everyone and enjoy your weekend...shopping, crafting or relaxing (notice housework was not mentioned) or whatever you are doing and see you all again next week I hope.

It's so frustrating when a card won't come together how you want...and then so brilliant when it finally does! I love these pretty papers and cute tag design, and who can resist a gorgeous little gingerbread man like this?!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a productive day and enjoy your weekend!
Big hugs, Kat xx

ReplyDeleteI know how you get excited Carole - I share the affliction too and this card was so worth the time it took! That gingerbread man is so spiffy and I love his little red buttons. Glad you enjoyed the NEC and I'm envious that you even have presents wrapped when I haven't even been able to decide what to buy for anyone yet!

Carole, this card is absolutely gorgeous! I love the colors , layers and sweet gingerbread man! I try to get a few chores done first before the craft room too. Most Mondays is when I break that rule and just go in, not sure why :) Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
