How are your Christmas preparations getting on? It really isn't long now and there is so much to do. This is not helped by your husband saying I need 12 Christmas cards for people at work. So that was my Sunday afternoon sorted out for me. We could have bought cards but that feels like cheating.
I made one of these from a recycled card and the top of a chocolate box. All the gold card I used was retrieved from my scrap box. It did take a while to find enough scraps of a reasonable size. I would like to enter this card for Pixie's Snippets Playground Number 155.
I made 9 of these the image was from one of the Kanban sheets I won recently. The paper was in my stash and the snowflakes were punched from the waste from the inserts.
I really didn't have long so they had to be quick cards and suitable for a man to send. Sorry this is just a quick post today. I am struggling to keep up with the blogging while being so busy at home I know that you understand.
I couldn't be too cross with him as these were waiting for me when I got in from a work meal on Friday. Bless him.
I hope the rest of the week is good to you.
Happy Crafting
Hugs Jackie
