Long Time No Post

WOW long time no post and boy what a lot has happened since then - mainly COVID19. Hope you are all well and are staying safe and following the lockdown rules. I am going to work as I work at our local Tesco on the checkout. I am missing my grandsons alot but I am lucky in that they don't live very far away and I get to see them when my son and daughter in law take them on their daily exercise past our house although o is killing me that I can't give them a hug. My other daughter in law is expecting a baby in June and I am hoping above hope that this lockdown is over by the time the baby is born but I am not confident. 

Right on my days off I have been up in my craft room trying to get ahead of myself with all the birthdays/anniversaries etc. I am getting there but it is slow going. I can't always concentrate and my mojo keeps going away.  When I was looking for something I did come across a couple of boxes that card toppers etc from ages ago that I was going to make into new cards. I thought this would be good as I didn't have to think too much and I would have some quick cards to give out.

Here are the first lot that I made. 

This was a frame with hand made paper flowers that was made at a workshop at Doncaster with Mel Heaton (I think!) a few years back. Just added to a card blank and stamped image.


Again the next two cards were made from a single card that was done at a workshop with Creative expressions. The first card was the insert and I have just added the greeting, gems and the backing.


This was the front of the card and I just added the greeting embellishment.


The next three cards were just taken off cards and then re stuck onto card blanks. 





Thanks for reading and stay safe

Using Up Christmas Stash

My plan this year as in previous years - but I am determined this year - is to use up some old stash that I have laying around. Here are the first few Christmas cards that I have made with some of the toppers that I found in a box.
