Christmas scene

 Afternoon Everybody

Its been a housework day here in Devon, dusting, hoovering, even tidying my craft area lol.  I then came out to make a card wanted to push myself into doing something a bit different, I don't have a lot of crafting supplies but will get there eventually so I have to make do with what I have to hand.

I bought this image from Polkadoodles, I do so love their images.  I have come up with this 

I

I was going through my computer files and finally found my watermark from years ago which the lovely Annie made for me many years ago and although I got rid of all my stash I kept all my computer files with images etc on an external hard drive so am able to use all the digi stamps I bought years ago.  

Sorry waffling.   Well that's it for now will catch up with everybody soon.

Busy morning

 I started off today stripping our bed and dusting and cleaning. Also packed my sewing machine, iron, ironing board and other sewing related items in the car ready for this afternoon’s sewing group.

I started to make my next challenge card for polkadoodles.  Have just had lunch and thought I would do a quick post.   So todays card is another pyramid card which I have made for our eldest granddaughter’s 30th birthday

Am entering this card into the https://makethecardschallenge.com/

Busy Day

 Evening all

It’s been another very busy day, had to go shopping first thing this morning to get change and the raffle prizes for the pensioners luncheon club which I run every fortnight on a Thursday, today we had service for 33 people, think they enjoyed themselves.  Had to be sorted for sit down 1pm didn’t get hone until nearly 4pm.

Thank you for your lovely comments about the chair they are very much appreciated.  Todays card is a sympathy card, I find these very difficult to make but this one is layered took ages to cut around but gives a delicate touch to the card.

That’s it from me today will catch up with everyone soon.

That’s it for now will be back on Friday with a new card
