On my desk this week are a few projects that I have been working on for Christmas. On the left is a Merry Christmas banner that I bought which was a cheap banner from Asda and decided to add some snowflakes and green stickles glitter to, to add more dimension. It is going to go under my mantel. Also there are some wooden hearts that I am going to paint red...

Over the weekend we have been busy putting the Christmas tree up. I have a red, lime green and cappuccino colour theme. I have had this theme for a good few years so this year I really didn't need to buy anything for the tree as we have plenty of decorations already. So that was great.  Today's card is a simple card that I made a few weeks ago. I...

Yesterday I mentioned that I had bought a Christmas patterned paper pad that was a lot more subdued than I had expected. Today I have a card that I made using these papers.  It has nice patterns just not as bright as it was on the front cover. For this card I used the Mojo Monday Sketch 319. and the Dovecraft traditional Christmas paper...

So I decided...

I love all the bright reds and greens in the paper pads, really happy colours. Also I...

A couple of months ago we had a new baby boy in the family, technically to me and my husband he is a great nephew but I think we will leave it at nephew! For a present I decided to make something rather than buying clothes etc. I chose to make a picture and went with these little punched elephants in a frame.  I really wanted to use these little...

For today's card I used the current sketch from Mojo Monday 317. I didn't think I would have time to make a card with this sketch but I needed a card for a 50th birthday party last night and so quickly made one yesterday afternoon.  I was going to use some patterned paper on the background but decided to emboss some white card as there would be enough...
