Christmas Quartet

Thanks for stopping by, a very small craft group today just Sandy and I - Fran joined us for a quick cup of tea and a hot cross bun!

Image from stamp It - coloured with gelly pens

Happy Birthday Sandy

Welcome to my blog, today is my friend Sandy's birthday so this card is for her - Happy Birthday! Sandy has put her back out so she needs some cheering up - visit her blog here. She has been very busy on her blog and has some lovely cards so it's well worth a visit. I had injections into both shoulders today and as I write this the local anaesthetic is wearing off and it's getting a bit sore - I think maybe a glass of wine and a sit down is needed (to toast Sandy's birthday of course!!)

Card is from stock.
Image is from a box of unmounted stamps I bought on ebay, coloured with gelly pens and 3D. The image was in one strip separated into 3 tiles so I cut and then layered them onto card.
Sentiment from Stamp It.
Gold trim and rhinestones from stash.

Real Red Xmas

What a great day, instead of our normal craft afternoon we all went out for lunch and then visited craft shops, Miss Marples, Paper Flourish -  so exhausting it was we needed to stop back at Endue for sustenance (read as coffe and cake) before heading off to Crafty Worm before home. What a trip we saw a lady (for want of a better word!) thumping someone through the driver's window of their car as well as a few other near misses - safer to stay home and make cards! Anyhow another 3 cards for Shirley-Anne's Christmas Card Challenge.
