O’ Christmas Tree…….

IMGP1769
Here's a card I have made on request by my OH! He has some friends/colleagues living in France so asked for one with a French greeting on!IMGP1768
He loves cute cards – and this was very appropriate since this is what happened several times last year  - certain mischievous cats leaping up and into the tree!  Funny when you think back – especially walking into the living room to find one clinging to the middle of the tree! I didn't laugh at the time!
I have entered it into these challenges:
PBSC – theme is a song – O’ Christmas Tree
Colour Create – blue, silver and white
Allsorts challenge – Bring out your Bling! – plenty of that!
Lots to Do – to use distressing – I have torn the edges of some of the cardstock.
and
Create 4 fun who’s sketch I have used.
Materials used
Stamps - Penny Black, coloured with Marvy watercolours and glitter gel pens – doesn't pick up very well at all in photo!
DPs are from Papermania – last year I think
Everything else found in stash!

Funky Fairy Christmas Workshop

I signed up for the FF Christmas Workshop (I think there’s  still some places   left) – its now on Day6 and I’ve only just finished Day1!!!
That work thing just keeps getting in the way!
Anyhow here are my finished projects for day1 – I have to say I have really enjoyed doing them, especially the 3D frame!
IMGP1726IMGP1732
The gift box I have made for it to go in wasn't part of the workshop but I made it for a gift and, of course , it needed to be “wrapped”!
This is a gift holder and matching card.

IMGP1744 
Day2 to follow – guess what I’m doing this weekend – yup – trying to catch up with the projects! Will keep me busy and not causing mischief!
I hope all you lucky peeps at the NEC are having a great time and are emptying your purses! Please share!
I made the decision not to go – I am going on the first Graphicus retreat next weekend – am keeping my pennies for then! I am on a sleep count down! Can’t wait, a whole weekend of getting inky and messy with the wonderful Glenda Waterworth and team.

WOYWW

Here's tonight's chaos!
IMGP1736
I am trying to get a birthday card done – its last minute and I cant make my mind up which papers to use!
Some peeps asked me what was on my wall above my desk – here its is IMGP1733 – lots of things I like to play with and then use later – I used to put them in a drawer and forget about them – I find they get used if they are right in front of me!
They are stuck on some sticky/static stuff I found in the Range – so far it has worked very well and has saved me banging holes in the wall to put notice boards up!
Click here to see everyone elses desk! I am just so nosey!
