SNIPPETS AND RUDOLPH DAY

Hi Everyone

Another beautiful day.

Have you all remembered to alter all of those clocks?  Otherwise you will be an hour late for work in the morning !!!!

We still have a few to change here.

I am always thrown into confusion on a day when we change the clocks as I am always wondering whether any given clock has already had its time changed or not LOL!!!

But even though we lost an hour I was up bright and early to make two snippet cards.  Both used up more of those lovely snippets for joining in with Pixie's Crafty Snippets Challenge and one of them is also in honour of Sandra's Rudolph Day (the 25th of every month is Rudolph Day and should be celebrated by making and sharing a Christmas make  .. .. or more if you feel the desire .. .. in the hope of feeling a little more organised when Christmas looms upon us!!).








As it is Sunday I will be my usual lazy self and not list any of the items I used to make them.  But as always if there are any questions then just shout.

In fact my Sunday has been a very lazy day for me all round as my lovely Auntie and Uncle took hubby and I out for Sunday dinner and we have only just returned.  Yummy scrummy finishing off with my favourite desert .. .. bread and butter pudding!!!

What a bonus .. .. ..  no kitchen full of roasting tins, messy saucepans and vegetable peelings to contend with.

So instead of tidying up a kitchen I am going to get ahead of the game for tomorrow and print off a load of wedding stationery inserts whilst hubby catches up with the football match he recorded whilst we were out.

I hope everyone has had a lovely happy day.

I'll catch you again tomorrow.

Love

    Beautiful cards Jules. Love the vibrancy of the first one and a cute PB with a PP sentiment too! You've reminded me that I bought those sentiments also when I saw you using them here last year, must dig them out and actually use them!!

    Hugs

    Sounds like a lovely Sunday to me! Sunday lunches out are truly the best I think.

    As for your cards...WOW. Oh I absolutely love the Christmas card! No particular bit, just the whole thing!

    I love the colours you've used, the pink fits so well with the black background. The sentiment looks a little like Pink Petticoats Tiny Bloom sentiments...I'm probably wrong though! haha! Gorgeous cards Jules.

    By the way I am running my first ever candy at the moment. It's a thank you to all my lovely followers, you are all so sweet checking in on my blog and leaving such lovely messages and I want to thank you all for that. If you'd like to take part, here's the post:

    Both really beautiful Jules! I'm guessing there are snippets on both card, once again a couple of gorgeous cards! The dishes here are cleared and the fairies will be working through the night washing them. Only thing is, loading and unloading the flipping dishwasher! I wonder if there are fairies who would do that too? Or is that when we win the lottery maybe?

    Thank you for your lovely comments over at the snippets playground :)

    Love, Di xx

    It sounds as if you've had a lovely day - how I agree with you on the joys of not having to do greasy washing up!

    Have a great week!

    Hi Jules. Now I'm settled in my new home I'm trying to get back into crafting and blogging. No dishes for me to wash today either as now I'm living close to my daughter I get invited round for Sunday roast quite often.
    I bought all my 'snippets. with me - just couldn't bear to part with them so really must follow your lead and try to use them.
    Two brilliant cards today - great inspiration to get going again.

    Hi Jules, beautiful cards. Love the layout of the first and the sentiment is lovely. The Rudolph Day card is fab, love the choice of design paper. Yesterday was just too good to be true - so warm and sunny and, guess what, it's still the same this morning ... I took yesterday off and I'm tempted to do so again today :) Elizabeth x
