Thank You Birds

 

I'm not quite ready to start making Christmas cards as it's still too warm, so thought I would make a couple of Thank You cards to keep ready for the right occasion.

They also used up some old images and papers from Making Cards Magazine that have been hanging around a while!

What a Quick Sale!

I've been making the most of being stuck at home and making lots more cards than usual.  This one was made from freebies in Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine from a year ago.  

As my pile of cards has grown, I have listed a few on eBay to sell. This one sold within 3 hours of it being listed! I was surprised, as it is a fairly basic card, but hopefully the buyer will be pleased with it.

Bits & Pieces

I really have far too many little embellishment bits and pieces left over from other projects, so this weeks challenge was to try and use some up that have been hanging around for TOO LONG.

A small sense of achievement after I made a few cards! I've also been selling off some of the stamps that I never use on eBay to make a bit of space.

Thank You Cards

In these difficult times, we all have people we want to say Thank You to, for supporting us in different ways.

At least us Crafters can easily come up with some special hand made cards for those around us

Me Time ..

It's lovely having some time to sit and experiment  with different inks and embossing techniques. I am hoping to have more time to do this in the future, if I can reduce from working full time to only 2.5 days a week.

Not all experiments were successful - but I am pleased with these cards - all with unique backgrounds

I even made an ATC out of one of the scraps!

One Swallow Doesn't Make a Summer

..... but this fabulous hot weather does! I enjoyed a fantastic day out yesterday in Hyde Park, London watching Paul Young, The Saturdays, The Beach Boys and JLS - despite been the oldest by a long way The Beach Boys put on the best show!

This little vintage thank you card used a few scraps of freebie papers from a magazine along with lace and  a pale blue swallow
