Christmas Card DT - Anything Goes

Hi!

Oooops, this post was still sitting on Draft instead of me changing it to Schedule.  Not to worry, got there now.  

I have a voucher for Afternoon Tea at one of the local restaurants and thought Mr C would come with me this afternoon but he said he'd rather not as all the sandwiches would have lettuce on them and it's something he just hates!  Instead my pal and I are going so I'm off now to get organised.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Hugs

Christmas on Sunday

Hi everyone I'm back!

Before Christmas I was doing my own Christmas post on Sunday so I thought I'd start again and get my box filled up before the December panic sets in.  I know I've loads of time but you can never have too many Christmas cards.

We had a wee while this afternoon when the sun was shining and Mr C managed to get out with the dog but it's back to the same old again.

Hi!

I'm back again with the Crimbo cards I've made this week!  My box is getting really full but, with a craft fair in December and 3 weeks in Spain before that, I'd better keep going!

All the paper I've used on these cards was a giveaway I won from Dies to Die For.  Tracy also very kindly popped in some die cuts so I'm looking forward to using them too.

Hugs

Christmas on Sunday

Hi!

I've scheduled this post as I'm off to Edinburgh today.  It is my friend's birthday next Sunday but I'm celebrating with her today by taking her to lunch then to a cupcake decorating class.  She is often found in the kitchen with her eldest granddaughter baking up a batch of cupcakes so next time they're creating she'll be able to show off her new skills!  She knows nothing about the surprise and that's the way it's going to stay until the last minute! 

Anyway, I've only one card to share with you as I was knackered.com when I got home from the school fete yesterday but it was well worth it.  When I got home it was make tea, feet up, knitting out and TV on for NCIS. 

Enjoy your day whatever you're up to and hope to be back blogging on a regular basis again now that the fete is over.

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.

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!
