Christmas on Sunday

Hi!

Time for Christmas cards again but I've only one to share with you this week.  I really must press on with the stuff for the fayre.  I have a pile of cards that need boxes but luckily I bought lots of envelope boxes from Tracy at Crafteezee.  They are brilliant, strong and ready scored.  I sent one with a card to my friend in Spain and it survived the trip completely unscathed.  Anyway, that's my job for today ... ironing can wait till tomorrow!

I just have to share these photos with you.  Our son has a huge garden and, this morning behind his woodshed, he captured these two four-day old roe deer.  

The parents come to the garden regularly and are relatively tame so that's another two to add to the family.  How cute are they!

On to the business in hand though!  As I said, only one to share today and now I'm off to make the boxes.  

Enjoy your Sunday.

Hugs

Hi!

Shucks, a whole week has gone past without a post.  It's been a busy week in the Campbell household with one thing and another and I've just not had time to be in the craft room :(  I decided I was having a crafty day today so I've two Christmas cards to share with you.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your Bank Holiday weekend.

See you tomorrow, promise, cos I've got a card all ready and some news!

Hugs

Hi my blogging buddies!

Another miserable day in bonnie Scotland.  It's been raining since I got up so I decided I was having a day in the craft pod.  Mr C is having a lazy day so all is well within our dwelling!

As I said yesterday, I've had a busy few days and I must apologise for my lack of commenting ... note to self ... must try harder!  I've excelled myself this morning, I've five, yes five, cards to share with you today.  When I've finished this post I'm going to get started on the new Hobby House kit that dropped through the door the other day.  It's every bit as fabulous as the first one and I can't wait to play.  The beauty of the kit is I can follow the inspiration and everything I need for the 12 cards is there at hand.  I'll share with you when I've finished.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Hugs

Hello!

I hope you are all well and enjoying your Sunday.  Weather here is back to normal ... rain!  I came up to the craftroom just after breakfast and I'm still here.  I just don't know where the time goes when I'm in my crafty bubble but I do have four cards to share with you today.

Mr C has just gone out with the dog and when I'm finished this post I'm going to make something for lunch.  I think I'll sew up some of the little cardis I've been knitting.  I absolutely hate the finishing off and need to be in the right mood to do it but that could well be this afternoon!

See you all tomorrow.
Hugs

Christmas on Sunday

Hello there peeps!

Thanks for all the get well wishes.  I feel much better today.  I've got rid of my sore head and eyes and am just a bit stuffed up now.  The cough is still there but not nearly so bad ... maybe I've escaped the lurgy!  Fingers and everything else crossed.

Mr C decreed that it was to be a lazy Sunday and as it's hissing down outside I agreed with him so promptly climbed the stairs to the craftroom!  I've made three cards I'm about to share with you and they're all for the Christmas box.

Off now to make something to eat, late lunch or early dinner!  It's a take it as it comes day then I'm coming back to play as I've still loads of cards to make for the school fete so it's going to have to be a production line I think!  Endeavour is on at 8pm so I'll be back downstairs for that.

Enjoy the rest of the day.

Hugs

Happy Sunday!

I've just noticed, only another 50 posts and I've reached 1000!  I've got this post scheduled as I'm meeting my granddaughter for lunch today.  I asked her if she wanted to meet on Monday but she told me she's busy as it's the last day of the Easter holiday!  I don't remember having such a hectic social life when I was 15!

I've three cards to share with you today, part of the 9 I made yesterday!  

Enjoy your Sunday.

Morning my faithful followers!

I've got this post scheduled today as we are off to see our son and DIL for lunch and a catch-up.  I'm also going to get my son to help me sus out the best deal on a new computer before this one either dies or goes through the window! I can't complain, I got it to take to Spain when we moved there in 2005 and it's never given me a bit of trouble, it's just old now and too slow to keep up with modern stuff (I know the feeling!)

Anyway Christmas cards today and I've two to share with you.  There are still some Christmas challenges to do so I may have more later in the week.

Enjoy your day and I will be back tomorrow.

Hugs

Morning peeps!

Sorry I didn't manage to post a card last night, time ran away with me!  By the time my son went home and I got the stuff sorted out to make the cards I ran out of time to get any posted.  I did manage to get three made, this being one of them.

We had a lovely meal yesterday and there was such fun round the table.  I have to say I enjoyed having my son, daughter and granddaughter to myself as it doesn't often happen! 

Only 4 more sleeps till Mr C and I are off on our hols.  Do you think it might be time to get stuff looked out and perhaps the cases out of the loft?  Maybe today ... maybe not!

Enjoy your Sunday.

Hugs

Hi!
I have two new followers, so welcome to Debbie and Kwilliams.  Nice to have you on board.  It's Sunday again so time for Christmas cards!

I don't know what Mr C and I are going to do today.  A lazy day might be on the cards, that's what Sunday is for.  We'll just do whatever takes our fancy.  Enjoy your day.
Hugs

 The theme at Sunday with Santa on Facebook this week in Snowflakes.  I've cheated a bit cos I've only put one on my card but I think it's quite effective.  I rooted about in my Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads and after trying a few found that Tea Dye was the best match for kraft card.

My second card is for Crafty Hazelnut.  Another clean and simple card but I'm determined not to make them too heavy so that Mr Royal Mail can't charge us any more than he's already doing!

Morning!

Oh what a lovely feeling being able to add Christmas cards in the box.  I'm not thinking about sending them as my daughter took all the ones I made last year into her office and sold them all so I'm doing that again this year.  I am trying not to put too many layers on them though as postage is so expensive if you go over the normal rate, and that's bad enough.

The first card I have this morning is for the Christmas Card Club.  The theme - only words - no images - was chosen by Dawn and she made life very easy for me as the die cut was one of the ones that I recently purchased on ebay.  Woopdedoo it was a dream come true!

Elements :

Bottom die - from Susie Sugar ages n ages ago

Front die - Vintage Noel by Tim Holtz

Pearls - The Hobby House

Glitter - Star Dust Stickles

My second card is for Sunday with Santa on Facebook and the theme for this one is Birds.  I rooted around in the pile of Christmas cards we received last year and found one with these cute little robins. A few crafty products have been dropping through the letter box recently and I've used some of them here ... but don't tell Mr C!

Elements :

Flower - candy I won from Debby (A Scrapjourney)

I always put inserts in my cards which is one of the jobs I hate so I've made a decision that  I'm doing them as I go along this year ... how sensible is that!  This is the insert I'm going to use for Christmas.

Challenge :

Crafty Hazelnut - No Snow

Non Traditional Colours

Morning one and all!

I've scheduled this post as Mr C and I will probably being going out for brekkie.  Dobbies do a fabulous breakfast, £5.95 for two including toast and tea, which is often what we do on a Sunday morning.

I had quite an afternoon of crafting yesterday and lost all sense of time!  What a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon when Mr C (just off nightshift) and the dog are asleep in bed.  

I have to say my laptop is slowly dying and once we come back from holiday I'm investing in a new one.  It's done me proud as I've had it almost 8 years and have never had a problem with it.

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday.

Hugs

Anne xx
