Sharing an 'Oldie' on Friday

Hi Crafters,

Friday again! how quick are these weeks flying by?

Friday's is when I join Erika of Snappy Crafts with her fun theme of sharing an old crafty make. This time I have managed to find a photo from 2012 of a card that I had made. I didn't regularly take pictures of my creations until I started blogging but I found a few pictures the other day taken on my phone and put on an old memory stick that had been in the back of the drawer.

 

 

The lovely lady who the card was for loves owls and these were made using my Stampin' Up Owl Punch. The sentiment and numbers were cut on my Cameo.

I'm off to comment on Erika's blog and let her know that I've joined in so if you would like to share an old crafty make come and join us.

Football Crazy

Hi Crafters,

How is everyone today - good I hope?

The lovely weather we have been having is only meant to last another couple of days here and then I think it's back to rain and lower temperatures, blah :(

I definitely feel better for a little sunshine though.

 

Todays card was Pinterest inspired and fills a gap I have in my stock for those tricky male cards...

A Day to Catch My Breath

Hi Crafters,
I've been such a bad Blogger lately, only popping on here to comment periodically. I know everyone is busy this time of year but for some reason, - maybe lack of organisation, or just trying to cram too much in to the time I have - I have been chasing around like a mad thing and not getting anywhere fast. I have been making lots of cards but some I am unable to share with you for various reasons but today I have two quick little card makes inspired by that fabulous place full of ideas - Pinterest.

I made 40 of these which were sent out to family and friends and some for my stall. They feature the Mosaic punch from Stampin' Up along with the matching stamp set and some other stamps from my collection. I also mixed and matched the colours on some alternating the red and the green baubles etc. just to keep my own sanity whilst batch making, lol.

Challenges:

Brown Sugar - #124 Red, White and Green

Sister Act - #87 Anything Goes

Creative Fingers - #60 Anything Goes

Come and Get It - Merry Christmas

Crafty Card Makers and More - #129 Christmas

TTCRD - Anything Goes

 

Thanks for joining me here today and I will see you tomorrow for my early Christmas Card Club post.
