Hi Everyone
Happy Sunday!!
I hope you are all having a good weekend.
It is a very relaxed Sunday here after a hectic week in the old craft pod.
Two big wedding orders completed this week which has cleared lots of space for starting on the next ones on the list! But a big clear up is needed first! Isn't it sad when you actually look forward to doing some housework and tidying up!!
I really enjoyed playing with my snippets bright and early today .. .. and am pleased that my new year resolution of making at least one Christmas card each week is working (so far!!). I will be well chuffed later in the year that's for sure:
So here we go with my makes of the day:
As always on a Sunday I am super lazy and do not list my ingredients .. .. but if you want to know anything then just ask away.
At the risk of getting in trouble with fellow Penny Black addicts I thought I would let you know that my lovely blog buddy Clair is having a crafty clear out and is parting with some of her wood mounted Penny Black stamps (shock horror!!!). If you click here it will take you to Clair's blog and there is a "shop" tab where everything is listed. Some of the stamps are already sold (and yes, I am guilty of purchasing "some" but not "all" of the ones that have gone).
Anyway, I am off now to Pixie's Snippet Playground to link up my snippet makes. Lots of inspiration there as to what you can do with all those pesky snippets we get left with and cannot bear to throw away!
Time now to get that dinner sorted and then I am looking forward to a good old blog hop this evening .. .. and the starting of another new series of Mr Selfridge!
Have a good week everyone. I hope the weather is kind to you.
Love
Two lovely cards Jules - love the Christmas birdie! x

It's Sunday and time for my treasure hunt here on the Hearts blog! Got it on the first lovely card, super cute image and that perfect bkgrnd paper. That one was easy. Had to look a bit on the blue pretty, but I did find it. Good for you at managing 2 cards to share. Each is just so pretty - you have a gift. Always get some inspiration as well as fun, when I get by to visit! TFS & Hugs.
ReplyDeleteOops, as I was closing I saw the Mr. Selfridges comment. I'm guessing that is strictly a UK airing, as I don't think I saw it on the USA lineup. I'm enjoying Downton Abbey though. Some interesting new characters. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI can't decide whether I like the pink or blue the best so I'll just have to LOVE them both! Have a wonderful week, Jules!
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards Jules. A gorgeous image and such a fabulous shade of pink with the scrummy papers.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week.
Hugs Sharon. x

Wow, two stunners there Jules. Don't ask me to pick a favourite - they are both perfection!
ReplyDeleteI did peek at the sale and ran away - might go back today - and I bet I can guess which stamps you probably chose from my peek yesterday :)
BTW, I do love the backing paper on the first card - struggling here to find hearts papers for Len's Valentines Day card. Pink Petticoat?
Hugs, Di xx
Love your cards! The top one is so pretty in pink and I find it very inspiring as I must get off to making Valentine's cards today. I'm also quite tickled with your Christmas birdie card too. So sweet! Great use of snippets!

Hi Jules, just trying to catch up with what you've been up to recently. Looking forward to doing the housework!!! That's something you don't hear too often ... and rarely heard issuing from my lips :)
ReplyDeleteTwo super cards - love the bright pink on the first and the embossed diamond shapes on the second.
Hope you have done with the housework and are now happily creating wedding stationery again :)
