JUST FOR A CHANGE

Tee hee everyone .. .. just for a change I thought I would share a Christmas card today LOL!!!

I have spent the afternoon with my Mum .. .. I sat putting inserts into my stack of Christmas cards whilst Mum sat playing her DS.   Not bad for 80 is she?  Plus we put the world to rights a bit and had a laugh together.

Once my cards are all packaged up in their cellophane packets with their labels etc Mum always goes through them all looking for the heart.  I told her she was being promoted today to my Quality Control Supervisor .. .. she was well impressed LOL!!!

So here is my little share of the day





This used:

Image:  Forever Friends "Cup of Cocoa"
Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Backing Paper:  Pink Petticoat
Go Kreate Die:  Scalloped Square
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon and charm from the stash box

I paper pieced some of the image in an attempt to make a massive hole in my scrap paper drawer LOL!!

I do love paper piecing  -  I think it has made that little bear's coat look super snuggly.

You know what it is tonight?  The Apprentice!!! 

Woo hoo!!!  Hubby says he will cook tonight so that I can carry on with my cards .. .. ... double whammy!!

Right better get creating before he changes his mind.

Have a good evening everyone.

Love

  22. Hi Jules, this is gorgeous and I love the paper piecing! I love the apprentice too - think Alex deserved to go - he was a bit annoying - my hubby and I thought he looked like paddington bear when he went out to the taxi in his duffle coat! Sounds as if you've got a young 80 year old mum! Trish x
