JOY, LOVE, PEACE

Hi Everyone

Here today to live up to my rash new year promises of creating a new sketch and a Christmas card each week.  We are into March and I haven't failed with these rash promises  .. .. .. .. yet!!  2024 festive makes now total 15!  Woo hoo!!

I "have" failed (yet again) in my resolution to put an insert into each card as I complete it though, so that one is off the list and marked as a failure for this year.  Perhaps 2025 will be the year I make that one happen LOL!!  

So here we go:

This used:

Image: Woodware Clear Stamp Set:  "FRM025" Word Tree
Backing Papers:  First Edition "All that Glistens"  (quite an old pad which I am determined to use up along with lots of others)
Unbranded Fat Oval Die from Ebay
ProMarkers
Sparkly Ribbon
Glamour Dust
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and of course .. .. Sketch Number Twenty One from my Rectangular Sketch File, which you will find on the tab at the top of my blog .. .. .. if you fancy using any of them then please feel free to do so.

Have a good Sunday everyone.  We have started off very cold and misty here today .. .. .. but I am sure it will improve as the day goes on.

Many thanks for all your lovely comments on my postage die posts .. .. you are all very kind.  I have had lots more ideas on how to use them and am looking forward to a lovely play session at some stage .. .. but for now I need to get ahead of the game with a stack of card orders I need to complete before all my crafty stash gets boxed up.

House Move Up-date

Apparently land searches are taking a long time to come through at the moment and our buyer's solicitor doesn't expect to receive them until the end of March .. .. so I think we can definitely say I will be seeing the spring flowers in our garden before we abandon ship.

Take care, and try to find a bit of crafty fun time somewhere in your day!

    As other stylish Christmas card Jules, well done on making so many! My resolution has fallen away already, but then I only need to make about 40 in total so I don’t want to leak too soon!!

    Love the colours of your Christmas card Jules and your and your fat oval dies showcase the sentiment beautifully

    You are certainly keeping up well with your sketches and Christmas cards. Putting inserts into cards is one of the jobs which tends to get left here but I do strive to keep on top of the job as it's not a favourite and is more of a chore if there are loads to do. I've convinced myself it's more efficient to do them in small batches rather than singly as I go along - usually have a catch up when I get to 6 or 7 cards waiting.

    As always, Another fabulous card and sketch. I hope you manage to get to your goal.
    I failed terribly last year due to getting sick before Christmas with only half of my cards done. I sure hope to do better this year.
