Hi Everyone
Happy Sunday!!!
I hope you are having a good one.
Mine has gone really well so far .. .. and I'm not expecting it to change course (or there will be trouble) LOL!!!
I was up far too early for a Sunday really and got the following two makes done super early.
Then hubby very kindly offered to take me to get some new reels of ribbon in preparation for the next two wedding fayres we have coming up in February and March. I love choosing new colours to make samples with and my favourite this time round has to be the gorgeous "emperor purple" goodies I got.
Of course once I get there I cannot stick to just ribbons .. .. .. .. I ended up with some gorgeous buttons and black lace too. I know black lace isn't everyone's idea of something nice .. .. but I love it!!!

Then of course I see things that aren't wedding related but still "needed". They will be coming to a blog near you soon. LOL!!
But for now I will share the makes I put together early this morning.
Both are for entering into "Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge" and the second one is for "The Rudolph Day Challenge" .. .. I hope you get chance to take a look at both challenges and possibly take part.
I love Sunday and my snippet makes because I am totally lazy and use just anything that is lying around .. and as you will see my first card is made from the leftovers of yesterday's card and the images I use are already coloured and sitting waiting in a little drawer to be used. I would have hoped for more makes but of course the ribbons were calling much louder .. .. .. as they do.
The laziness continues because I don't list out what I have used to make my creations on a Sunday either .. .. but as always if there is something you like the look of and want to know more about then please just ask away.
I am going to try really hard to make a snippet Christmas card every week .. .. at least then my Christmas stocks will build up slowly.
Enjoy what is left of Sunday .. .. and I'll see you bright and early tomorrow with my next Handy Hippo project. I was also going to show you a few examples of "things to do with ribbon" .. .. but there are so many that I think this is going to spread over a few weeks. So it is "things to do with ribbon - Part 1" LOL!!
Catch you soon
Love

Two beautiful cards, Jules.I love them both. Yes, Sundays should be lazy! I like your idea of doing a Christmas card every week, but I don't think I will manage that, but one or two a month might be a good plan.
Gorgeous makes Jules, love the sweet images and pretty papers :)
Enjoy your new ribbon stash! :D
