Happy Christmas

Hello from a very busy me, I hope you are all well and ready for Christmas? I feel like I am all shopped out and spent up, its all work, shopping and spending money lol....

Here is a quick card I made for orders I had to complete in a hurry, so out came the LOTV die cuts what a God send these are, with some pretty SU! Christmas papers and a few greetings they make a very classy card. I really must learn to make my cards in plenty of time next year ......

I hope all my lovely blog readers have a very happy Christmas and a very happy 2013. I look forward to sharing my cards with you in the New Year, some new exciting things on the cards for Teddy Bo too.

Fairytale Friday

Today I am sharing one of my earlier Teddy Bo card, i do love this wee little fella all relaxed on a lazy summers day, oh how I long for those days again (sigh).... I expect you are all like me and running around like a headless chicken? (or should that be Turkey lol..) I don't have to much left to do but just feel so disorganized and I'm beginning to panic now!! I haven't a clue what to buy my other half, men are so difficult to buy for unless they mention something they need. Anyway back to my card for Fairytale Friday.....
