Today I finished the second of my two cards for the 25th Card challenge on Bubbly Funk. The theme for this month was 'reindeers'!! I thought if I didn't blog them now, I would forget and then miss the 25th deadline, so here they are!!



I also made a couple of birthday cards and as I'm trying to get in the habit of photographing them as they're made, decided to blog them as well!!!






Bye for now and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I've been getting on with my 'tiddyjiggy' pieces, as I don't want to leave them till the last minute! This is a 6x6" jigsaw swap on UKS that follows on from the previous two - a 12x12" and an 8x8", so we will have the complete set! I am posting the first five today!! The first one is my piece with the theme dragonflies, as I just love them!!!

The next piece is for Craftybarbie and her theme is 'Rainbow'. We were all allocated a different colour to do, amd mine is lilac.

This piece is for Megbaby and her theme is Music - black, white and silver.
The fourth piece is for T_Ann and her theme is Monogram/Iluminated!! She wanted the letter T for her initial. I'm not too sure about this piece!!!!


The last piece today is for New2this, who is hosting this swap. Her theme is Metallic so I decided on keys!!

Thanks for looking and see you soon x

Hello again. Over on Bubbly Funk we are doing a project called '2010 365 calendar Challenge'!! Mine is done as a double page spread on an A4 watercolour pad, which will be cut up and bound together later on!! The 'days' are 4cm squares which are relatively easy to fill up each day!!! So far I am managing to keep up! I didn't post them at the beginning of the month, so thought I would do two months now. Hopefully I will then try and keep up each month!

This must be a record for me - posting so soon after the last one!! On Bubbly Funk we have a 25th Club, where we choose to make so many cards each month and post them up before the 25th. As I've not been out much over the last couple of weeks as I've had a chest infection, I have all ready done mine for this month! I chose 2 a month, but I ended up making 4!!




On Bubbly Scrumptious at the moment, there is a challenge to follow a sketch and make 'something' with it!! I made a card and wasn't overly impressed with it, so made an atc as well, and here they both are!!





Hopefully I will be back soon, so thanks for looking!!

I think my New Year resolution ought to be to blog more!!!! It seems a long time ago that I was last here, so I thought I'd get back in the swing of it by showing you the fabulous handmade cards that I got from my lovely friends on Bubbly Funk for my birthday a couple of weeks ago!!





Maybe I'll start the new year by showing you some of the Christmas cards - when I take them down!!! In the meantime, whether you are celebrating tonight by going out, or by stopping in, have a lovely evening and a Very Happy New Year to you all!!
