Cute card - Friday Sketchers

Hi,
Well, my inspiration for this card came from Friday Sketchers #125 - nice sketch to work from - and I am using this really sweet hedgehog image from a group of things my mum gave me... She is always passing on card stuff to me... I seem to spend all my money on scrapbooking stuff and I think she is determined to get me to keep using my stash instead of storing it up and just admiring it!!!! I'm really pleased with this card... even if I say so myself, it's cute!

I have been cutting out snowflakes with my new Marianne Creatable Snowflake die-cutters and my cuttlebug... see I do use it!!!!! It's not just a pretty pink thing!!!! I am really pleased with them although I did struggle to get some of them out!!!! Have some flowers to play with next... them hope to sneak a butterfly into a shopping basket at some point throughout the week!!!! hee

hee!!!! I am doing very well on my craft budgeting... honest ;)

I am going to make myself a Christmas planner... made one last year and have to admit, I was actually a bit more organised. I hate to think of it so early, but I really have to these days to get everything sorted so that I don't get stressed. I used to be one of these people who put the tree the sunday before christmas (even if it were the day before christmas eve) and do my christmas shopping on christmas eve... then I had kids... well, that says it all really... you just can't get away with that run around thing, can you? So Christmas Planner here I come...

Hope you are well and happy!

2 Sketches 4 You...

Hi ya!
Hope you are all smiling... here is the other card I made using the peel offs... Inspiration from Kazan's Sketch over at 2 Sketches 4 You... Great sketch... Love this snowflake paper, I dug it out of a pile of papers I had totally forgotten that I had... don't you just love doing that when you love the paper?


My kids break up for half term today... I am so determined to get them making their own christmas cards for all their school friends and teachers, I have it all organised in a box. Anything different from my son playing games machines... he would be on them all day every day if I allowed it... drives me mad that he never gets fed up... I always have to drag him off!!!!

Am going to enjoy my peace and quiet now, and have a play at another Christmas card! Hope you find time to play too...
Hugs

Bonus Sketch - 2 Sketches 4 You.

Hi,

Seem to be having trouble uploading piccies today... I actually made two cards yesterday afternoon... inspiration coming from 2Sketches4You. This is one of the Bonus Sketches. Hopefully I can upload the other one at some point today. Still using the sheet of peel offs... quite like this one... I wanted a sentiment on it, but I seem to have one of those days where I couldn't find anything I wanted yesterday!!!!

Seems fitting to keep thinking snowflakes... it was absolutely freezing this morning! Need to dig out my jumpers so that I can wear more layers... I am one of these people who would be happy to hibernate throughout the winter... with internet shopping you can actually imagine yourself making it a reality... well, I can dream!!!! Hope you are keeping warm!

Need to get on with my Christmas cards!!!!

Hi,
Goodness me... I don't seem to be able to get going on my cards this year!!!!
I had a play and came up with this one... used a peel off... I'm not a lover of peel offs, but seem to have aquired a pile from somewhere and thought I would have a go with these trees... not too bad!!!
Hopefully, I will find some inspiration to make some more... I will be so disappointed with myself if I go back to buying packs of Christmas cards!!!!!
Gosh! it's gone really cold here... that wind is has a real chill today!!!
Hope you're crafting with a smile...
Hugs

Friday Sketchers

Hi,
Today I have made a card for my cousin Andrea... I was inspired by the sketch over at Friday Sketchers #122. What a fun sketch! The image is one my mum gave me and the papers are from Papermania's Summer Bloom pad... I love these papers, they are so gorgeously girlie!!!!

I am off now to have a play at a card to hold tealight candles... and hopefully at least one Christmas card... Hope your sunday has been as relaxing as mine... even my kids have chilled today.

Hugs

Kim
