Puzzled Sheep for Christmas

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? We were quite tired after visiting our parents on Friday. For one thing we had to get a two seater sofa upstairs. This was a bit of a feat as the stairs had a bend in them. We didn't home until 7:00 pm and we had a boot full of stuff to get rid of. On Saturday we had friends round to supper which made a nice change. 

On Sunday we had a quiet day and I actually made a card I could blog straight away. Of course it is a Christmas card. 

I was looking through old Christmas cards and I found this one with sheep on that I thought would be ideal. 

I used a puzzle die that came free with a magazine sometime ago. The sentiment is one from John Next Door. On Friday I visited the Art of Craft shop which is just up the road from my in-laws. I even got to look in the warehouse and have a chat with Pete and Jane who run Crafts-Too. 

I still need lots more Christmas cards. I will see what I can get done this week. 

Happy Crafting

Ducks at Christmas

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? We  have been busy with family things. When I can I am trying to catch up on my Christmas card making. 

Here is one of my latest Christmas cards.

You know me I do like to recycle old cards. This is quite a simple card. 

I did use the puzzle die again. That's the one that came free with a magazine sometime ago. I really don't get rid of much of my crafty stash. 😀 Those ducks are so cute. Maybe they need wellies for the snow. 

So another card for my card for my Christmas stash. 

Happy Crafting

Happy 70th Birthday card and cake topper

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? We seem to be getting busier. Yesterday we went to the theatre to see Educating Rita. It was so nice to go to the theatre again. We are going out for the day today too.  I do hope we haven't come out of lockdown too soon. 

Our good friend was 70 yesterday. Here is the card and cake topper I made for him. 

I used Claritystamp designer paper in the background. The number , letter and word dies are all from the John Next Door range. 

I kept this card for so long. I just love the image and it works well with the jigsaw die. The die came free with a magazine some time ago. 

I made one of these before. It is double sided. 

Here is the topper on the fabulous cake my friend made. 

I think it is rather obvious what our friend's hobby is. 

Happy Crafting
