Mojo Monday 264

Hi,

Hope you are having a lovely weekend...  and keeping warm... it has gone really quite cold all of a sudden! 

My card today is a Christmas one... inspiration came from the sketch over at Mojo Monday # 264... enjoyed playing very much... have also spent alot of time cutting out flowers and snowflakes ready to get cracking on my cards for Christmas... doubt I will make my original target for finishing them but am going to get stuck in this week...

 

I have actually been making lots of lists and sorting out what I need to do and buy and in what order.  My Christmas planner is busy busy busy...  children are off this week, so am going to get them crafting too.  And theres the Christmas cake to bake too...

Take care
Hugs

Sketch Saturday #229

Hi,

Aren't I doing well this weekend.... My inspiration today came from Sketch Saturdays lovely sketch #229... there are some lovely example cards over there, it is well worth a visit... I used some papers from an old DCWV pad that I have about a third of left... lovely colours...

 

We have had a nice sunday... went to my Mum's for dinner which was lovely and makes me feel abit spoilt, not having to cook.  We are planning a joint crafting session soon, we haven't done it for ages and it's always fun... so long as the kids are sorted with something to do, of course!

Hope you have had a lovely weekend.
Take care

Sketch N Stash - Challenge 98

Hi...

Wow... back so soon... blimey, I can't believe I've actually made  another one in one week... I am doing well!  for me that is!!!

Today's card was inspired by a lovely sketch over at Sketch N Stash - challenge 98...  My old stash that I am using is a small paper pad that I have had for a couple of years and yes... there are some peel offs on there.  Thats the thing about doing out the crafting stuff, you even find the stuff you thought you would never use and I was determined to put peel offs on this one!!!!!  I am actually quite pleased with the results!

 

I really want to get stuck into my Christmas crafting... I am already plotting certain types of gifts for certain people so that I can make fancy bags and boxes!!!  I actually sat down with my Christmas Planner (which I am so glad to say I made in January before I lost sight of my Christmas crafting stash) and have made some very useful lists today!  Of course, I am trying to keep it low key or the kids will start making Christmas list now that will end up the size of the argos catalogue and my OH will think I've gone completely mad... he is one of these odd folk that litterally leaves all his gift buying until Christmas Eve, runs around as I stay home and bake cookies or something with the kids and have a calm day, and then he falls asleep before the kids because he is worn out after a rather rushed visit to his mum's and a pint in the pub!!!!  Leaving me to get everything ready for Christmas day on my own... hence why I like to be so organised... plus all my family live in Staffordshire and I like to deliver the presents a couple of weekends before Christmas (weather depending).  It's nice actually because the children, my mum and myself have a lovely Christmassy weekend with the relatives and friends and Daddy gets to work!!!! ha!  He really does think that Christmas only needs one day to prepare for!!!!

Enough of that... off to play with paper...
Have a lovely weekend...

Mojo Monday 262

Hi,

Hope you are well and happy... the weather doesn't look well and happy today here, but I have to say I have enjoyed our little spell of dry weather...  it's lovely to get the sheets blowing on the washing line (good job I do them early in the week, eh?!).

I have finally had some new cupboards for the cupboard under the stairs... which is where I am keeping my craft stuff (well, some of it anyway)... now I don't know how to organize everything... how can it be so complicated!!!!  Must be me!  I am trying to be organized in a way it's easier to use my tools and things... I have things I hardly use because it's such a hassle to have them out for a short period of time...

Anyway, enough of that... my inspiration came from this weeks sketch over at Mojo Monday #262... it's a Christmas card... and I must say I really enjoyed playing. 

 

Off to make the most of the afternoon on my own today...
Take care,
Hugs

Mojo Monday #261

Hi,

Well, I have not been able to find anytime to craft lately...  and I need to get on with making my Christmas cards.  Today my inspiration came from Mojo Mondays sketch #261, it made me get all my stash out looking for round inspiration... ha! 

 

I made my Christmas planner at the beginning of the year this time... and I have dug it out ready to start making lists to organize myself...  hopefully it will get me moving in the right direction with my cards!  The time seems to fly when all the christmas build up starts... I seem to spend so much of december running around with the children with all the things they have going on...

Anyway, I'm off to have a play with my stash!
Take care
Hugs
