Special Christmas Card
My Mil asked me would i make a special card so i set to work and came up with this. I have to say i am very pleased with the way it turned out :) The papers are from Martine's blog 'The Craft Table' they are the Christmas collection and are so yummy for your Christmas cards. The image is from a Beary essentials die cut pack as are the borders and greeting. The verse has been done on the computer and cut out with nesties. I think she was quite pleased with it any way :)

Let It Snow
This little cutie is a Forever friends stamp which i have coloured with Promarkers and prisma pencils. The backing papers and greeting has been made by Martine, over at 'The Craft Table' thank you for sharing these delicious papers. The snowflake was made with a quickutz die that i bought from Sue, a little fiddly to put together but i like it.
Well i hope to be back later in the week with some more Christmas cards. I have my SU stamp Silent Night all stamped and ready to put on a card

Crafty friends needed
Kim is looking for some new crafty friends over at Cuddly Buddly :) Here is what she said-
How it works - From time to time we’ll send you new stamps, downloadable papers plus some bits n bobs (ribbons, card, etc.) for you to create a stunning papercraft or altered art piece to showcase the new stamp. If the extras we send don’t suit the idea you have in mind when you see the stamps then just keep them in your Cuddly Buddly stash box for another day. You then send us a good digi pix of your finished card or item along with a ’materials used’ list which we add to the product web page and to our Galleries to help demonstrate the product better to our much appreciated customers.
We never ask or expect our Fabulously Crafty Friends to do any marketing for us so if you create beautiful works but don’t have a blog, or don’t participate on forums we’d still like very much to hear from you. However, if you enjoy blogging and want to share with your online friends what you’re doing with us, that’s fine and I’m happy to make up a special little button for your blog, if you’d like one.
If you’re interested in being one of my Fabulously Crafty Friends then please email me (look for Fabulously Crafty Friends on the drop down menu on the contact page) and let me know;
* who you are,
* a little bit about yourself,
* how long you’ve been crafting,
* your favourite crafting techniques,
* how many projects you think you could comfortably take on per month and …
* include a link to your blog or online photo album where I can see examples of your gorgeous creations.
Printables Update - After chatting with Susi, our Printables and Cuttables Designer, it appears that Susi would also very much appreciate a Fabulously Crafty Friend to work with her and help make up her Printables Projects too. If you enjoy making up Susi’s versatile and really useful Printable projects and taking them to the next level with the addition of embellishments and graphics then we’d love to hear from you too.
Kim is an absolute brilliant person to work with as is Susi and all the crafty friends, so what you waiting for?? Good luck to all those who enter.

Jules Stampin Up ten
Jules is the wonderful person who i buy my SU! goodies from, she is a great lady who is always there to help and advice. I have conpleted one year with the club and have decided to stay on for another year. There will be a new club starting in October and Jules is looking for 2 more people to join, so what are you waiting for :)
Here is what Jules had to say about the club -
I need 10 ladies to join the club who commit to spending a minimum of £15 a month (plus P&P) for 10 months October - July.
Each month one of the 10 ladies will be classed as the "hostess" for that month and will receive freebies of the minimum of a Level 1 stamp set and £15 worth of goodies from the catalogue. Dont worry being hostess simply means you get freebies that month, it doesnt mean you have to let us all come round to your house!!!!!
You will receive a free Stampin Up catalogue at the start of the club and any further mini catalogues that might appear during the club run
Occasionally I will send out card kits and free stamp sets to some lucky winners

WOW look at this brilliant candy Bev has on her blog isn't it amazing, so many yummy things... So what you waiting for get yourself over to Bev's blog and take a look at her great cards are truly inspirational.
Sorry i haven't been around much lately but have been busy decorating, all painted now in the lounge just the hall, landing and stairs to do. I know it will look nice when its done but boy is it hard going, especially when you work. I went looking for some tab top curtains yesterday, could i find any??? No :( Why is it when you want something you can't seem to find it!! So if anyone has seen some nice beige/brown curtains on their travels can you may be point me in the right direct.
