I hope you had a good weekend and the start of your week has been good too. I probably ought to start with a bit of an explanation. I have been a bit quiet on my blog lately. The death of my friend hit me quite hard and I have found it hard to focus, not helped by me getting a cold. I have a lot to get ready in the next couple of months my husband is 60 this year. I am still crafting but mostly it is things that I can't share just yet. Thank you to those who haven't given up on me. I am still around.
I am trying to keep up with my Christmas card makes. At the end of a craft session I try to fit in a couple.
This is one of my up-cycled Christmas cards. I liked the image on the old card. I trimmed it to fit so I could in some mats and layers.
I do like to see robins on Christmas card.
I used the Ivy Spray die from the John Next Door range. I added glitter for some extra sparkle.
This is a small sentiment die from the John Next Door range.
I had time to make another simple card from another card.
That's another two for my stash.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Happy Crafting
