Hi Everyone
I hope everyone is well and ready for the weekend .. .. an extra hour to be gained into the bargain!! What more could we ask for?
How will you spend yours? An extra hour in bed .. .. and extra hour crafting?
I always tell myself I am going to spend it in bed .. .. but I never do. I wake up all excited and have to get up and play with my craft goodies LOL!!!
But before we get the treat of our extra hour we are going to have the pleasure of Anice from Funky Hand gracing our TV screens. She is going to be on the Create and Craft TV channel (Sky 671, Freeview 36 & Freesat 813) on Saturday 30th October at 11am, and then repeated a couple of times over the weekend.

Anice is demonstrating her two most recent CD ROMS from the Papercraft Factory range .. .. Dreams Come True and Colour Me Happy.. but the big deal is that Create and Craft are going to have an AMAZING price offer if you buy both CD ROMS together.
The DT were given the challenge of making some Christmas themed cards from the CD's .. .. which you might think is strange considering the CDs are not necessarily seen as containing Christmas papers. But always up for a challenge we managed some lovely creations between us.
Below are a couple that I made and you never know you might be able to spot them on the TV tomorrow .. .. only "might" though because the DT as a whole created so many samples I am sure Anice won't get chance to show them all. So just in case you don't see them .. .. I will share them here.

Both of these creations were made using the Colour Me Happy CD (and my trusty sewing machine) .. .. though I have pinched the Alpha-Bits from a Funky download and the Happy Christmas sentiment too.
Don't worry though .. .. the downloads are going to be going on sale over the weekend over on the website.. .. a giant 25% off!! Woo hoo!! You can see them all here.
So I had a lovely night with my Sis last night and I have now had my "short back and sides" haircut. Some might call it a "summer cut" LOL!!!
I love it when I have had my hair cut .. .. it makes me feel so much more human .. .. which can only be a good thing .. .. and saves me loads of time in getting ready in a morning!!

Wow stunning cards, and great papers, will set sky plus and keep an eye out for them and more inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteLove the cards, Jules! Very creative use of non-Christmassy papers.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to be spending the extra hour asleep! I spend far too many late nights crafting or on the computer, so I could do with lots of hours to catch up, never mind one! xx
Oh these are Brilliant Jules! Just love the colours and papers and the designs are fantastic! Love all the stitching too!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend :)

Two super gorgeous cards, I will keep my eyes peeled on the tv for them.You will have to watch next Sat 11am for the Ooh La La program some of my samples might be shown.xxx
ReplyDeleteThese are both amazing Jules. Loving the sewing! And such beautiful layouts. I am sure I won't be spending the extra hour sleeping as my kids don't care if there is a time change or not LOL. I sure could use an extra hour of sleep though.
ReplyDeleteWow Juls these cards are fantastic hun!, love how you stitched the card and great use of using those gorgeous papers. Just love these cd's, just so versatile :o)

Relly clever use of 'non Christmas' papers to make two fab Christmas cards. You must have so much patience to do all thaat stitching. Fab results though.

Lovely cards and a great idea to use non christmasy papers for Christmas cards. Will try to catch the Funky Hand show as I have both of these CD ROM's so could do with some more inspiration to make actual cards and not just keep looking at the paper collections.
