Just A Quick Note!

Good Morning!

I can't believe it is Saturday Morning already! I am so relieved as it means that today I can inally do some more crafting ... yipee! lol So I shall be back this afternoon with something to share as soon as I have made something!  It feels so weird not writing that I have a card to share for PBSC today as I would normally have something ready to go!

So before I get started I just wanted to let you know that all the items I have listed on ebay ... Hand-made Cards, Rubber Stamps & Various Craft Materials are ending VERY SOON so if you want a chance of getting any I would pop over now for a peek :)

HAPPY CRAFTING!

Sending Winter Wishes!

Good Morning!

First off I have to admit that yesterday really didn't go as to how I had planned it :( I had hoped to have a Crafty Day seeing it was my first chance since last Tuesday but what goes and happens ... I end up having a crafting block! Grrr! I did manage to make 2 cards but one of them I really disliked so I've decided not to share and the second is today's card but I'm not over the moon with that either! So yesterday didn't go too great. Hopefully today will go better as I won't get the chance to craft again until Saturday otherwise ...

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

First up I'l show you the tags as I have finally managed to complete the online class! It was great and definitely worth the pennies ... the only reason it took me so long was due to the fact I had to buy a few of the products as I went along ... so here are the remaining tags !!!

I'd like to enter Day 3's Tags into the following challenge:

SIMON SAYS STAMP - TAGS OR ATC'S 

STAMPIN' FOR THE WEEKEND - TAGS

Today we are also see a brand new challenge over at JOANNA SHEEN which is Going Around In Circles! I will admit to you right now I was pushed wayyyy out of my comfort zone on this card as I had to use Decoupage Sheets which we all know is something I don't usually do, here is the set that I was sent to use and my card ...

Well thanks for popping by, It's time for me to take advantage of my day off and finally do some crafting!!! I shall be back tomorrow with something else to share :)

HAPPY CRAFTING!
