Blog Candy, Hand made paper and Christmas Card

Christmas card for a friend who lives here in Bahrain and originates from Canada, it was this lovely lady who made this paper out of Water Melon and gave some to me, so I thought I would make a card for her using the same said paper. Very talented lady and the paper is fantastic with a very rich colour, she also made me some white from a degradable cotton shirt which I can not wait to use.

Blog Candy and a Christmas Box

Blog Candy site and another Christmas Box I have for you today, so to the blog candy don't forget Jennie's blog candy at the Artistic Stamper it will be running till Christmas day, a great site with all her works of art.

Blog Candy sites, Christmas box's

Todays blog candy site is Jennys at the Artistic Stamper and some Christmas box's.

I have not posted for a few days as my friends are here from the UK and we have been very busy shopping and so forth, one of the things Norma and I have been doing is crafting together (it's so good to have a friend to craft with ) and we thought of these box's to make and use them as name tags for the Christmas table, as I usually have a name tag and a small box of Chocolates for every person I liked the idea of this. I have just show three here but there are 10 in all.

Birthday card

Hi all,
I’m getting so exited now as my friends arrive from England on Wednesday and staying for a whole month but still so much to do before they arrive as I have not finished my Christmas shopping yet aggg but it will be good to go shopping with a girl friend and no men allowed this time because we all know how men can be and shopping (a pain). It is also my girlfriends husbands Birthday the day they arrive so he has put his ordered in for sausage rolls and a beer to be served when he arrives, bless and this is a card I made for him.

A quick card I made this afternoon using the cuttlebug swiss dot folder some flowers I had in a mixed pack and printed the New Year message.

These cards I made tonight using paper from Claires hand making cards web site, the silver snow flakes and blue crystles I got in Hobbycraft in the UK. Sorry about the pics but the light shines on the silver snow flakes and reflects, I have the same problem with glitter. I also use the swiss dot folder in the cuttle bug and the Nestabilities rectangle and circle dies.

Still have not managed to get the other cards done though, but tomorrows another day and I will see what I can manage in between getting the house ready for visitors who are arriving from the UK.
