BASIC GREY CHRISTMAS




Sorry I have not been around much over the last few days but Issy has been off school with a sick bug poor thing I hate seeing the kids sick. Anyway she is on the mend and hopefully be able to go back to scholl tomorrow.

Yesterday I had a go at making some Basic Grey xmas cards. This came as a kit from the Glitter Pot and I really enjoyed putting it all together. These papers are gorgeous. I also made a Xmas card using some Making Memories papers and a die cut frame from Craftwork Cards. I do think these are very cute and really effective. Sorry about the photos not sure what is wrong with the camera.

Finally I would like to wish Gina a happy birthday today hope you enjoy yourself hunny. hugs han xx

DIFFERENT STYLE CARD


I decided as seeing as I did not go to watch my son play in the rugby tornament (to wet & cold for issy) I would spend some time creating this morning. I wanted to make a different style card for me as I normally just do a normal square - so I did a gatefold card using fancy pants paper. I am quite pleased with it may do a few more like this. Hope you are enjoying your day and are not getting tooo wet wherever you are. Thanks for looking xx
