The C word......

I can't believe it but I have made my first CHRISTMAS card.....

I don't normally make all my Christmas cards as I find the thought just too daunting but as this will be my first year as a demonstator I think I should be proactive and try and get organised.  Stampin' Up have a new seasonal catalogue due out on 1st September and and I am patiently waiting for my pre order to arrive sometime tomorrow but if you are into making your Christmas cards, gifts and decorations then I strongly suggest you book a workshop with me to be able to get your hands on the fantastic goodies available.

This card is a version of a card I was asked to make last year.....

The snowflake has been made in the same way as a rosette but using the lace ribbon border punch.  I did spritz it with some shimmer mist but its hard to see that on the photo.  This card could only be hand delivered as the postage costs would be huge but this could be mass produced qhite easily and making the recipient think they have received a very special card.

We have had a fairly chilled day today in preparation for the week ahead but I will try and post throughout the week.

What is it with my boys and the shower???  They love it and would be in there all evening given half the chance, I know that won't be the same in a few years, I'll be dragging them into it.  Elliot has been in the shower for nearly 20 minutes....

I mentioned that Aaron was in a concert the other evening and he asked me to make a thank you card for the guitar teacher.

The main image isn't from Stampin' Up, not sure who its from but I borrowed it from my Mum, but I thought it definately needed a guitar. 

It's also not a colour combination I use very often but I like it!!!  I really must try and be more adventurous with my colour choices in future I think!

So, I have just watched Andy Murray lose at Wimbledon, so close but so far!!!  Maybe next year.......

We have the olympic torch coming our way this week so we'll be out on the streets cheering (and in the rain no doubt!)
