Well, I'm certainly on a role at the moment.  In the last couple of days I've made 11 cards like this, using the  mall material pictures  that you buy in a strip.  I hate to think how long I've had these, so it was about time I used them!!  As this weeks theme in 'crafthazelnutschristmaschallenge' is 'inspired by a Christmas song or carol', I think 'O Christmas Tree' fits this card?  Bye for now.  Wonder if I'll be here next week!!! x    

 

 

 

I can't believe that it's almost a year since I even checked my blog.  Took me ages to remember how to log in!!!!  I've had a sudden urge to make cards, after failing miserably last year.  I'm particularly pleased with these rocker cards, thanks to help from Hazel, so I will now add them to 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge'  That will surprise her! Hope my urge carries on!!  I have made some more which I will try and blog later!  Meanwhile all Best Wishes for the New Year to all who follow my blog! xx

 

Well, it was a bit of a rush, but I managed to make a card for 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge' !! I still have a lot to do before I go away on Tuesday but I thought I could fit in a quickie!!!!! The theme this week was 'use a sentiment' so it was relatively easy - just had to decide on paper etc!  We'll have to see what next week brings.  I don't get home till late next Tuesday, and there will be quite a  lot of things to do, so don't hold your breath!!  I am SO looking forward to spending a week with my sister!!!!!!!!  Bye for now.

 

 

 

Well, I've missed the last two week's of 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge'  so was determined to make a card this week!  The theme is 'Christmas Love'  and I knew that this topper would be perfect for the theme, so that was half the battle!!  Quite a simple layout, but I was pleased with the outcome.  Hope you like it!  Fingers crossed for next week - I am going away on the Tuesday, so will have to make time over the weekend!  Bye for now!

 

 

 

 

A bit last minute, but I've made it for another week!  The theme for this week's 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge' was trees, so here it is!!  Once again I resorted to a back issue of Making Cards.  I think they will keep me in cards for months to come!!  Bye for now!

 

 

 

Two weeks on the run - I'm on a roll!!!!  The theme for this week's 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge' is 'mainly blue', so I think I've covered that!!!  The paper and bits are from an old Making Cards.  I used to love that mag and got it all the time, but have been very disappointed with it for quite a while now. I suppose they must run out of ideas for papers??  I have enough back copies to keep me going for a good while!!  Hope to see you next week!

 

 

 

 

 

Happy New Year everyone - even though we're over half way through January!!!  I didn't manage a card last week for 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge' , but am determined to do better this year than last, so have made a quick one before this week finishes.  the theme is 'winter weather' so I think this fits the bill!!  Hopefully, will see you next week!

 

 

 

 

 

This coming year I intend to try harder to keep up to date with 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge'.  It makes life so much easier at the end of the year when you don't have to rush around making cards!!!  This year I wasn't so organised, so had to make a few rush cards at the last minute which I didn't upload.  This is one of them so it is ideal for this week's challenge with theme ' starting all over again'!!  Hope you have all had a good Christmas, and many wishes for a Very happy New Year to you all! xx

 

 

 

First time for a while that I've made a card for 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge', but while I was looking for something else, I came across this decoupage sheet with an angel playing a 'musical instrument' which fits perfectly with this week's theme of 'music'!!!  So here it is!  Not too many weeks left now, so I must start counting cards to see how many more I need!!  I might be back next week!!!

It's been a few weeks again, but this week I've managed to make a card for 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge'.  The theme was 'layer it up'  so I've got a few layers there!!  It's quite scary how few weeks there are now until Christmas, so I must make more of an effort to make cards!!!  Hope to be back next week!

Two weeks on the trot - hope I can keep this up!!  This week's theme for 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge' is 'spread a little joy and love' which I wasn't too sure about, but considered that the various wording on this card would be appropriate, plus the jolly snowman himself!  Hope that's ok Hazel??  Let's see if I can go for three next week?!!!!  Bye for now.

Haven't  blogged for ages due to one thing or another!!!  Still having internet problems on the pc, so am having to use the laptop, which I'm not thrilled about!  Decided that I really must get back into making Christmas cards, so I've made this one for 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge'.  This week's theme was 'snowmen or snowomen' and was put together quite quickly, before I changed my mind!  Here's hoping for next week!!!

I've  been without a computer all this week but have managed to get internet on my laptop, only by kneeling on the floor (long story),  so this will be brief!!  This is my card for 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge' and the theme this week is 'Christmas foliage', hence the holly!!!   Hopefully I'll be back on the pc next week !!!                                                                                                      

Got myself sorted early this week with this card!!  It's for 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge' and the theme is to use your favourite embellishments.  Mine are ribbon and gem stones!!!  No more news so see you next week - hopefully!!!

 

 

 

Having spent quite a long time today framing some lace - a well overdue job - I thought I would blog it!  I usually just post it on Bubbly Funk but have realised that it then gets lost in time!!!!!  This way the girls can still see it, but I can always find it again. The first is a modern day 'picture' and the second is examples of 17th century lace that our lace tutor 'copied' from paintings for us to do as a class.  Hope you like them.

 

 

 

Two weeks on the trot!!  Hopefully I can get back to doing them weekly?  This week's theme for 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge' was to 'show some white', so this fits the bill.  I enjoyed making this one, so fingers crossed for next week!!

 

 

 

I am beginning to get a bit worried by my lack of Christmas cards this year, compared with the last couple of years, so this morning I very hurriedly threw this one together!!!  It's for 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge' and the theme is 'festive food and/or drink'.  I thought this Christmas pudding fitted the bill quite nicely, though I'm not very impressed with the card.  Now that things seem to have settled down a bit, hopefully next week I can do better!!!  Watch this space!!!

 

 

 

 

It's been ages since I last posted or made a card for 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge' but today decided that I had to get back to doing them.  It makes such a lot of difference later in the year!  It's not been a very good start to this year on a personal level, so here's to it improving as time goes on.  Hopefully I'll see you next week!!! 

 

 

 

 

 

Didn't think I'd get to make a card this week, but managed to do a quickie!!  Here is the card for 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge' and the theme was 'snow'  Hope we don't get to see any more of it!!!    

 

 

Here is this week's card for 'craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge'   The theme was the letter 'P', in this case - 'Presents'    A very good theme, and I may have another one done by this afternoon!!  Watch this space!!!
