Sympathy card

Christmas waves a magic wand

I wasn't going to do any crafting today, but couldn't resist making a quick card. As it's my birthday we've had pizza delivered, with garlic bread and potato wedges and we had some wine ... and now I'm full! Just having a bit of a break before settling down to watch Casualty. We were going to go out, but things have been topsy turvy here this week because we're having our bath replaced with a shower unit and there were some unexpected hitches with the work- hoping they will finish it by Monday or Tuesday.

Anyway, back to the card. I chose a quote topper that was part of a QVC kit a couple of years ago - this is for ABC Christmas: Q for quote plus an image (hope the squares count).

The background paper and square motifs in the corners were from a magazine from a Nancy Watts collection.

This is another card for my CHNC challenge 34.

I used the sketch for Corrosive 129:

BF August inchies swap

These are the inchies I've received from the swap for August on the BF forum - the theme was 'summer holiday'.

It's amazing how much detail can be put on to a little inchie - they are fab - thank you, ladies:


CHNC challenge 34: Christmas birthday or 'anything goes'

It's time for another challenge on my Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge blog. Today is my birthday, so challenge 34 is a bit different to the norm. I usually ask you to make a Christmas card, but today you have a choice of making a card for a Christmas birthday or an 'anything goes' Christmas card.

We have a lot of family birthdays around the festive season, which means making a lot of birthday cards around Christmas time. So at least I've got one done early - perhaps I'll make one every week so that I don't have to do them all at the busiest time of the year.

For my easel card I've used BG wisteria papers, various flowers, buttons, ribbon and scalloped border. The image is one of my favourite Greetings Farm ones - wild sprouts 'sassy Suzi', coloured with copics.


I'm entering this into these challenges:
