Lovely Christmas Leftovers

Here are the Christmas cards that I made for week 17 of the 52 cards challenge which was to use project leftovers.  I had a load of scraps from a Sarah's Cards Christmas kit and managed to make 8 cards from them.

I think the papers are My Mind's Eye.

September Sketchy Scrappers - Friendship

This was our sketch to use for the September Sketch Scrappers challenge -

And this is the layout that I did using papers from Sarah's Cards September 2011 kit - Fancy Pants 'It's the Little Things'

The photograph was taken at this year's UK Marillion convention in Wolverhampton, me with two of my lovely Marillion sisters - Vivi from the Netherlands and Laura from Sardinia (we are a very international family).

Thank you Caroline for finding a lovely sketch for us to use.

Lovely Leftovers

The prompt for week 17 of the 52 cards challenge was to use scraps leftover from a project.  I had a tonne of scraps from when I did Prompt 3 of Shimelle's Pretty Paper Party so managed to make 6 cards from them -

Must Do Photos

This is the layout that we did for Anita's September class -

Always on our last day at Champneys, we go out to the bridge that leads into the spa and have some group photos taken.  These are the ones from last year.

The papers used are Basic Grey Sweet Threads and we stamped over the top with swirls and flowers, and then decorated with punched butterflies and die cut flowers.

Thank you Anita for a lovely class xxx

Blogtoberfest Day 31 + 1 - Oooops and Fundraising

Well a big fat fail to me, I missed doing a final post yesterday for Blogtoberfest.  But I do have a very good excuse and nothing at all to do with the dog eating my homework LOL.

I was busy setting all this lot up -

 

All the weeks of crafting late into the night has led to this day when I run an Open house to raise funds for Children with Cancer Fund.  So far today I have had a steady stream of visitors and I am expecting more this evening.  You will have to wait for my November Month in Numbers to find out how well I have done!!

I've enjoyed Blogtoberfest and look forward to taking part again next year - thank you to Michelle all the way over in Australia for organising it this year xx
