WHAT .. .. NO CHRISTMAS MAKE!!!!!

Hi Everyone

Well I think the time has come to end my Christmas posts and start work on the mountain of general cards I need to make!!  How many do I need !!!  Eeeeeekkkk!!!!

The day has again gone on admin work, the Accountant and Christmas visitors which has made for a rush creation this evening .. .. but it was lovely to be able to get to my sewing machine again.

How weird it felt to suddenly have the pick of all the non-Christmas goodies to play with!!!

So here is my share of the day:




This used:

Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Happy Birthday Sentiments"
Backing papers:  Basic Grey "Paper Cottage"
Cherry Lynn Die:  Fanciful Flourish (pruned a bit LOL!!)
Joy Craft Dies:  Stencil 25 (a bit of a strange name .. .. if I find something better I will amend it)
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Ribbon and Brads from my Stash Box

So that is me for today.

Just time to go and watch The Young Apprentice that we have recorded before bed!!   It will all be over and done with now .. .. I hope the dark haired girl won .. .. she has been my favourite.

Catch you tomorrow folks.

Thanks for calling by and for all your lovely comments on Paul's card yesterday.  I know he will have enjoyed reading them

Love

    We watched the apprentice,them so called kids could run rings around much old people, my son is 19 don't know what he's like at work, but at home he acts about 5.
    I love your card ,the flowers are very pretty and it has a modern feel,but it's the sentiment that really stand sout,gorgeous font.

    Isn't it nice to get back to some bright colours - this is lovely Jules, I like the blue and orange together. Thanks to you I went over to PP and somehow some of them fell into my basket!! I love the sentiments they have and the little "bees" plus one or two others LOL!! I hope you all have a lovely Christmas. Pauline xx
