Hi Everyone
Happy weekend! I hope yours has got off to a good start.
After what has been a very busy week I decided I was going to treat myself today and spend as long as I possibly could in my little craft pod making Christmas cards. I didn't manage as long as I would have liked .. .. .. but then I am never satisfied. I always want to play longer.
It was as if fate decided that it was going to lend me a hand and treat me too, because out of the blue yesterday evening I got an email via Amanda Jayne Designs promoting a special offer on her Ultimate Christmas bundle .. .. .. a whole 130 Christmas characters and 50 Christmas sentiments for £15.00.
I already owned a handful of Amanda's images and knew how lovely they were to colour/work with so I decided to treat myself and hopefully speed up increasing my Christmas card collection in the process.

Oh my days! I am now spoilt for choice on what to use .. .. .. so many lovely images to choose from, and all easily downloadable from just one file I received via MailBigFile.
I made the mistake of going through the whole download straightaway last night just before bedtime (well it would be rude not to LOL!!) and filled myself with excitement at the thought of it helping me with my craft makes today. I was even tempted not to bother going to bed .. .. but to start playing straight away .. .. but of course that would be silly!
Anyway .. .. .. .. here is my favourite make of the day. I have also printed out lots more images and plan to take them with me when I go to spend time with Mum tomorrow. Nine times out of ten she will have a snooze so I sit quietly colouring until she wakes up. Then she likes to look at everything I have done!
This used:
Amanda Jayne Designs "Ultimate Christmas Bundle" for the image and sentiment
Christmas design pad from The Works
ProMarkers and Chalk for the rosy cheeks
X-Cut Corner Rounder Punch
Die Cut Snowflakes
Tag Die
Ribbon
Diamond Stickles

Always keen to share something I feel is amazing with my crafty pals .. .. you can see the images in the collection here on Etsy .. .. .. but if you decide you "need" the collection too don't buy it from the Etsy site. To get the super special offer (it ends at midnight tomorrow - Sunday 12th November) you need to send a payment of £15 via PayPal to stokesamanda@ymail.com adding a message saying "ultimate bundle" and the email address you want the bundle sending to. The bundle comes via MailBigFile within 24 hours (but mine came through pretty much straightaway).

So that is me for today.
Going back now to play with my download a little bit more before my day of crafty fun ends.
Hope your day has been as much fun as mine.

ReplyDeleteSo pleased to hear you've had a fun day and what a charming image this one is - beautifully coloured as always. Thanks also for sharing the details of this great deal. I really ought not to add anything else to my seasonal stash but who knows my fingers might stray onto the keyboard 🤣🤣, something they seem to do all too frequently. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
