Festive Friday

One of the fun things about making my own Christmas cards each year is going back through my Christmas stamps and remembering the year I purchased them. I would buy one Christmas stamp each year and make all my Christmas cards the same. Today's card uses a stamp I purchased in 2005 for that reason. Over the last few years I've made all my Christmas cards different which allows me to go back and re-visit my favourites year after year...and of course purchase a few new ones too!!!

A sweet birthday wish...

Penny Black Challenge

I've been soooo busy the last few weeks running around getting the kids ready for their first day back at school yesterday that I haven't had a huge amount of time to make cards...I've made cards that I needed but none just for the fun of it! This morning I came across this week's Penny Black Saturday challenge which is the sketch below and decided to make a card before all the other things that need doing. I went into my craft room to find a mess! I like a reasonably tidy space to work but I've been so rushed with the last few projects that there was stamps, papers, scraps, tools everywhere! I cleaned my space, turned on some music and had lots of fun making the card below.
