Looks Cold Outside!

Good morning everyone, hope you're all having a lovely weekend. I don't know about where you are but here in coastal Aberdeenshire it's very, very cold! Yesterday it was very cold and windy but I went to a crop after work so I was nice and cosy indoors. We had yummy shortbread, tablet and cakes that some of the girls had made. We finished off with a Chinese takeaway and then a Secret Santa. I got a pad of beautiful First Edition papers so I'm a very happy bunny.

I managed to finish 3 cards and added inserts to about 30 cards so now I have 80 cards completely finished. I just need to check how many I really need. I also need to think up some special cards for my family and finish the gift card holders I'm making. Not to mention that one of my nephews is 18 on Christmas Eve so I need a special card for him.

My favourites this year seem to be Penny Black images and LOTV images and cute squares. Here's one I made with a cute square.

I used :-

Image :- LOTV cute square.

Sentiment :- Hero Arts.

Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.

Card Candi :- Craftwork Cards.

Corner die :- Memory Box

Ribbon and Glamour Dust.

I'm entering the following challenges :-

Ready Teddy Go :- Anything Goes.

ABC :- E is for embossing.

Colour Create :- Red, white and green.

Lucky me I have ironing to do today but then again I could leave it till this evening so that I can do something more interesting this afternoon!

Thanks for looking and I'll see you all later.

Ready Teddy Go Easel Card.

Hi everyone, here's a card I meant to schedule last night for this morning! Still better late than never. I got a bit tied up yesterday making cards to hold communion tokens which we're hoping to sell to raise funds for work that has had to be done in our chuch. Apparently lots of tokens were found about eleven years ago so it's taken a while to decide to do anything with them. I had made a few cards a while ago with the help of my friend but the inserts were wrong so had to be re-printed. The lady who was printing the cards and inserts, with the help of her husband doesn't keep well so I was asked to make the cards. Hope they're ok!!

But I digress as usual. I made an easel card on Saturday but never go round to blogging it. I've had a lot of internet problems for a few weeks now and this evening is the best it's been for ages. Usually as soon as I try to do anything I discover it's gone off! It's making me pretty annoyed because I can hardly get my DT work done or visit my favourite blogs.

I used :-

Image :- LOTV die cut with added Glamour Dust for some bling.

DP :- Papermania -  Cranberry & Apple

Sentiment & Card Candi :- Craftwork Cards.

Snowflakes :- Martha Stewart punches.

I'm entering the following challenges :-

Ready Teddy Go :- Take it Easel.
Truly Scrumptious :- Bingo, I used glitter, punches and die cuts, and ribbon.



Thanks for looking and I'll be back tomorrow to show you the communion token cards I made yesterday.
