Fuzzy and Warm House Mouse.

I'm reasonably warm at the moment but only because I'm wearing a few layers and I'm looking forward to a plate (or 2) of lovely hot home-made potato soup. I made it last night so that it would taste even better re-heated today. I also made my first batch of mincemeat pies, which I love. I was actually trying to avoid sorting out my labels programme. Fingers crossed I have enough Christmas cards made now. So now I can get on with the special ones and finish the gift card holders.

Speaking of warm here is a nice cosy Christmas card.

Red and White Christmas.

Good morning everyone. Well it's almost the weekend at last and we're going to visit my daughter and family. Poppy was 4 on Wednesday and she's having a party on Sunday. Lucky me I'm going too lol! On Saturday I'm supposed to be making fairy cakes for the party bags. Catriona also mentioned a birthday cake but I don't remember volunteering for that. Maybe she's making it herself.

As you know I've been having internet issues but after phoning the helpline on Wednesday and Thursday I'm hoping that the problem has been solved. I've been really fed up about not being able to visit my favourite blogs as much as I would have liked but I've been concentrating on doing my DT work. I know it's nice to get feedback when you enter a challenge.

Yesterday I made 3 cards when I was crafting with my friend. I thought one would do for my DT card but then I realised that it wouldn't as I'd forgotten who was sponsoring us this week. But one of the others will do in 2 weeks time. Not like me to be ahead lol!

So here's the first of the other 2 I made. Don't you just love these squares from LOTV? I'm quite into white on white with a touch of colour this year. And of course lots of glitter.

I'm entering the following challenges with this card :-

Lili of the Valley :- Anything Goes.
One Stitch at a Time :- Anything Goes.

The second one is another favourite theme this year - plain coloured card and white die cuts and of course the old favourite - gingham ribbon. I love those Marianne Designs die cut trees even if they are tricky little devils to stick down!

I'm entering the following challenges with this card :-

Everybody Art :- Christmas Card.
Papertake Weekly :- Christmas Cracker.

Hope you like.

I'm really looking forward to the weekend even if it means a couple of hours at a children's party lol!

Thanks for looking and I'll see you tomorrow with my DT card for Totally Gorjuss.

Birthday Boy.

Hi everyone. I don't often get asked to make a card but my boss asked me to make cards for her parents and herself and her husband to give to their great grandson/grandson. I hope they like them. It's a bit different to make a card for someone else, isn't it? It's Logan's first birthday in a few days. None of us can believe that he'll be a year old already. Seems to have been a very quick year!

I used :-

Image :- House Mouse.

Colouring :- Promarkers.

DP :- Magenta.

Sentiment :- Hero Arts.

Grandson :- computer generated.

Ric rac, bakers twine, buttons and Glamour Dust.

I'm entering the following challenges :-

Everybody Art Challenge :- sketch.

Well I'd best go to work and finish off Wednesday's balance. Lucky me I'm off to the dentist this morning for a check up. So hopefully I'll be in and out in a few minutes!

Catch up with you all later.
