WHISPERS

Hi Everyone

How goes it?

It has been a world first in the House of Hearts today .. .. all the Christmas wrapping has been completed early!!  Woo hoo!!!

Normally I am still wrapping Christmas Eve evening .. .. but not this year .. .. everything is all sorted and under the tree waiting for excited hands to tear them open (those Christmas labels I made had better not be thrown away !!!).

Plus amidst all the wrapping and clearing up a little bit of crafting .. .. no day would be complete without a little bit of crafting.

Here is my share for today:





This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3377K" Whispers
Sentiment:  Elzybells (sadly no longer trading)
Backing papers:  GCD Studios "Ella Blue" (decided to use a few more of those bits up)
Josy Rose:  Acrylic stone and Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Crystal Stickles
Seam Binding Ribbon from the Stash Box

So what does tomorrow hold for me?

Well, delivering a couple of parcels and cards .. .. a big clean up .. .. and shopping for some yummy ingredients for a huge cooking session on Christmas Eve (my favourite day of Christmas).

Plus dare I mention a snippet post and a bit of wedding work .. ..eeekkk!!!  No lying in bed tomorrow that's for sure!!!  LOL!!!

See you tomorrow.

Love

    A beautiful card. I love the colours and the paper piecing is wonderful.
    I will be wrapping on Christmas Eve as I am desperately trying to hide the presents from Daisy at the moment!

    Glad you've got your wrapping done Jules!! It feels good when it's done!
    and yes I am normally wrapping on Christmas Eve too!! when I am really, really tired!!! so will be nice to be able to have an early night and just wait for Santa!!! LOL
    Your card is scrumptious!! My favourite shades all in one card. Love the papers and the paper piecing looks beautiful. Gorgeous layout and the green glitter and the ribbon/bow are perfection! - love it!
    I like the sound of the cooking session. I love Christmas Eve - like to do last minute things and watch Carols from Kings!
    Have a good day tomorrow!
    Love Sue xx
