week 23...patchwork background

 I had to dig deep in my stash to find anything patchwork...but found my patchwork pals from over 10 years ago...

and I even made myself a little stepper card....

Thanks for popping by today hope you are having a good one....

Christmas on Sunday

 thank you to all those people who were thinking of me on Friday when I was at the hospital...I was certainly given a good going over and the good news is that its not the big C but my Sjogren Syndrome flaring back up after 9 years in remission...apparently trigger by a viral infection...its something I will have to manage carefully for the rest of my life and hopefully it will go back into remission again...

on to happier things...yes Christmas what will it be like this year....

it doesn't look good does it but at least we will be able to send a card...

I used my bargain Kanban set of  Winter friends and a paper boutique frame to make this card....and a Sue Wilson sentiment....

I hope you are all safe and well....

christmas card challenge 17......winter scene

 its time for a new challenge set by Mrs A this week.....

so I thought I would get my bargain buy out...my friend Vicky went over to the kanban outlet shop before lockdown and got the whole kit...all the dies..charisma sheet and the card kit for £10...after I had tried to buy it for £86 and had it cancelled by create and craft...what a bargain....

so I have used 3 of the characters and created a z fold scene card....lots of glitter...its very bulky so it will be one I give by hand.

Please pop over and see the creations from the rest of the girls...the links to their blogs can be found on my side bar....

thanks for popping by today...stay safe....

this weeks christmas card

using up some old stash....yes very old Kanban patchwork pals from there first incarnation.....

Initially I made this card for our christmas card club challenge ...postbox...but then decided on the Molly Bloom stamp and a CAS card instead ....
I hope you are having a lovely Sunday and the sun is shinning for you .....

this weeks card for Aunty...

I am determined to use up some of my card and delve into those kits I bought years ago.....

when I first started crafting I bought this kit fron QVC after seeing Dawn Bibby demoing...but by the time they arrived I didnt know what to do with then....there wasnt pinterest then ,and no where to go for inspiration....they have sat in boxes on my shelves for at least ....5 years maybe more, I think that now I am a bit more experienced I can see what they will make...however simple or complex so I am dusting down the kits and having a play

and as I have a few autumn birthdays I used the same design to make a birthday card...
Hope you are having fun in your card room as the weather changes and the nights draw in its mycosy spot.....
