Vintage Christmas Tags

Loads of tiny scrap pieces of Maja Designs Paper used in these tags along with the scraps of corrugated wrap from a take away coffee, nearly everything here could have gone in the bin, instead I have 2 tags, perhaps I will try a card if I have big enough pieces of paper left.

A beautiful day here the sun is shining through the cloud for the first time since last weekend, I expect we will get a shower or two all the same.

Border Terrier

This card is for a lady who has a Border Terrier. The dog recently locked the car door when she was collecting her grandchildren, she somehow managed to press on the door lock when her owner exited the car, the keys were in the car !!!.

DIY

My card to hubby for father's day, he's great at DIY, but I can't allow him to rest on his laurel's, He's papering one of the spare bedrooms at the moment, hopefully this card will encourage him to get it finished.

Sentiment from TLC, I chose this because  he loves Dad's Army and it fitted in with the paint job.

Naughty or Nice

Digi from QKR Stampede

It's a long time since I attempted a shaker card but am fairly pleased with the shaker element . I hope it looks like a window with snow falling outside.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

A very quick post and card for today, we have been really busy in the garden and want to get a few things finished before the rain forecast for later today.

I feel this card needs something to finish it off  at present don't know what, anything I've tried doesn't seem right.

Confetti

   Another C&S card from the House Mouse CD. I have added glitter to some of the confetti and glossy accents to the rest. In real life the sentiment is the same colour as the umbrella but in my photograph it looks more purple than pink. I think my mouse is enjoying the summer sunshine which is a lot more than we are here.

Snowman

Stamp from QKR
Die from Memory Box


Apart from the cards which will be hand delivered the rest will not be over embellished in any way, postage is so expensive.

My card blank and the snowman's hat are both dark green and not black as they look in my photograph.

Many thanks for all your kind comments on my cards and thanks to all who expressed similar thoughts to mine on the level of customer service we get.
