I'M HAVING A BIT OF A SULK :-(

Hi Everyone

I am starting to sulk a little!!  As I always do at this time of year.

We have started to put the Christmas things away .. .. and I don't want too :-(

It is mainly the Christmas tree I don't want to put away. So that will stay up a little longer.

Anway, enough of my sulkiness .. .. here is a little share of a card I made today which sums up my day quite well. 

The weather has been so lovely today I have been doing washing, washing and more washing (although I haven't noticed any cats swinging about alongside the shirts and towels LOL!!!).







 This used:

Image:  Penny Black "1469" Clothesline Cat
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Backing Papers:  Raspberry Road
Martha Stewart Punch:  Doily Lace
X-Cut Punch:  Small Flower
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkersSo
Chalk
Crystal Stickles
Ribbon from the Stash Box
and a bit of silver peel off .. .. .. how many bits of this do I have?  I need them all used up and out of the way!!!!

So that is me for today. 

Back to packing away a bit more of Christmas and  then wedding stationery duties for me.

I hope you are all having a great Bank Holiday Monday.  I will catch you again tomorrow and if you are here to win the 20 promarkers Handy Hippo are offering you will find that post here.

Love

    Hi Jules, I was glad to take everything down yesterday and put the house in order! I love Christmas but once the day is over, it's over, lol!!

    Such a pretty card today. Gorgeous stamp that I've not seen before. xx

    That's what I'm doing today too, Jules--taking down the remnants of Christmas. It always seems too soon. I'm just taking a break to see what everyone else is doing today. I love your card--such fun colors and cute image!

    Cute card Jules.
    I haven't even given a thought to de-christmasising yet but know I will not like it when it's done - everything just looks so bare for a while doesn't it?
    Hope you've had a great Christmas and Happy New Year - here's to a fabulous 2012 for you and yours.
    Lots of love
    Debs xx

    Hi Jules, I normally wait until 6th January to take them all down but my super-efficient doesn't like them hanging around gathering dust that long so they're down, including my beautiful tree, packed away and in the attack already ... and, for some unknown reason, I'm not that bothered this year! Great card, brilliant stamp - love those 'paws' PBs. Peel-offs are one of those items of stash we thought we had to have when we started card-making only to find out we didn't need them at all :) See you tomorrow, Elizabeth x

    Hi Jules,
    Happy New Year to you and your family :)
    Sorry I haven't visited for a while, things should be back to normal now!!
    Love this cute image and yes, not what you want to see on your own washing line!!
    I have to admit I'm happy to pack the Christmas stuff away and get some normality back now but that wasn't the case when I was a child :)

    Another terrific card Jules - just love the cat's face :) Beautiful papers as always and I love the idea of using up peel off strips at the join - another tip, thank you very much.

    So funny, I'm in a sulk here too and the tree is still up but I suspect that tomorrow will be the big day :( Boo, hoo!

    Love, Di xx

    All of my Christmas things have already been packed away and it is sad. But now we have a whole new year to look forward to. I hope yours is splendid!!!! I wanted to enter your candy but I have to solve my capacity problem before I can add anything else to my side bar so I suspect I shall have to miss out for now. Thank you anyway for the opportunity, Jules. Big hugs, Lesley
