BACK TO CHRISTMAS WISHES & EXCITING NEWS

Hi Everyone

I hope your weekend has gone well so far.

Mine has been super busy with my "happy couples" .. .. lots of work to be getting on with now!!!!

But in-between visits I managed to make this little creation which I am going to be entering into:

The Sketch Saturday Challenge (what better place to go when you want to make a card in a hurry and don't want to think about a layout LOL!!).

and





This used:

Image:  Digistamp Boutique - part of the "Bailey Reindeer Set"
Sentiment:  Digistamp Boutique - part of the "A4 Simply Christmas Greetings Set"
Backing Papers:  Dovecraft Back to Basics Christmas - Vintage
Martha Stewart Punches:  Traditional Scallop and Glacial Snowflake
Distress Ink:  Tumbled Glass
ProMarkers
Glossy Accents
Diamond Stickles
Cord from my stash box

and as if I haven't had enough excitement for one day ..  we are now meeting up with friends for a Chinese takeaway!!  Yummy, yummy!!!

There is also some exciting news that involves my lovely Sis Jo .. .. who makes those gorgeous bags.  She has been super busy making lots more bags for her website and to adorn her salon shelves, but has also now opened up her own little on line store on her website.  


If I have done it right if you click on her lovely new logo above you will find her website and a little store that is perfect for the crafty people among us who like to make their own bags (or who would like to try) but need to get their hands on some of the supplies needed to make them.  

She has lots and lots on her site (but more to come I am sure) .. .. even a tutorial on how to make her very popular Joey Clutch Bag.  I don't know how she has found the time but she has also started a knitting dictionary with links that take you to little videos .. .. I am beginning to think that hyperactivity runs in our family LOL!!!  

Have a great Saturday evening everyone and if you want to play along with the Sketch Saturday Challenge here is the sketch for this week



See you tomorrow with my snippets (if I can find any LOL!!!)

Love
