A Card A Day

Bad girl me had my cards ready before 10 o'clock yesterday, ready to upload onto here and the a Card a Day Facebook page and then it all went down hill. I got bogged down with work and finished a couple of orders then a very special friend came and I sat and chatted all afternoon which was lovely as she usually dashes in and dashes out. Due to family issues and holidays it's about two months since we last saw each other and then time just ran away with me. 

The cards I made were for the new baby who arrived into hubby's family on Saturday morning.

All papers and image are from Nitwits. I can't show the second card as it's for one of my DTs.

I need to get back to my wedding order now as it is almost finished :) and I need to catch up with a load of blogging comments, oh and I need to add a load of stuff we are selling to one of the FB selling sites.

Back soon, thanks for calling. :)

Happy Birthday, Son

Good morning all, I hope you haven't been too confused by the clocks going back.....I forgot to set my watch so I was out of bed at 8.30, which doesn't sound too bad but it was actually 7.30! On a Sunday morning! The only time I'm up at that time on a Sunday is when I do a wedding fayre lol

My son's birthday cards as promised,

 

No new papers were harmed in the making of these cards, the papers are all from my "leftovers box".
Ingredients on the first card are the image is from Lil of the Valley and the sentiments are from Craftwork Cards

On the second card, the image is again a precoloured image from Lili of the Valley(see link above) and the spotty paper is by Craftwork cards. The buttons and twine are from my stash.

The sentiment and paper on the bottom card is a mag freebie by Pink Petticoat and the card candy is from Craftwork Cards

As I also said yesterday it is my turn to add my 'makes' to the Get Funky! challenge today. The challenge is set by Amanda and this is her brief

"Christmas is all about the kids

so that's what I am setting for this month's theme.

Anything Christmassy for a child.  It can be anything you want........a card, a gift, a layout, a decoration ~ whatever your imagination can come up with."

I made a gift bag from a brown envelope and card and I will be adding a tutorial to my blog for the gift bag (they are so simple to make).

Don't forget to check out Kathy's new Facebook page, a Card a Day, you are all invited to join us.

Back soon and thanks for dropping by.

A card a day

Kathy's new group on Facebook :) Do you feel like making a card every day and better still, blogging it, then come over and join us. It's early days yet but it looks as though it could be good fun :)

I've ,made a few cards between yesterday and today so I will add those. It's my son's birthday today, he's 24, Happy birthday Dan. We had some lovely news this morning, DH's cousin's girlfriend gave birth to a baby boy this morning weighing 8lb something :) They have another son who is about 15 months old....what you might call a hand full. Julie has two older children so I'm sure they will help with the little ones.

I will now add the cards I made this morning and tomorrow I will blog the cards I made yesterday (are you still with me? :)) and it's my turn to blog the Get Funky challenge and add my projects. I might do a little tutorial to go with it.

I still need to put a sentiment onto the second card. Images are by Pink Petticoat and Lili of the Valley.

Ok, I will be back in the morning. Take care and tfl xx

Funky Friday

Our super friend and team mate (Kathy's Waffle) has started a Facebook page just for us lazy so and so's who start out blogging with all good intentions but then it drops off without us realising it BUT (and in my case it's a big butt ;)) you have to make a card too :) Here are the details in Kathy's own words

"I've just started a Facebook group called "a Card a Day" and I'm hoping that lots of fellow-card makers will use it as a virtual "prod" to get those cards made - it's an "open" group so anyone can join in, and enlist their friends too. I'm hoping it will encourage us all to use our own blogs more and to visit and leave a message on each others' blogs too - Just a "hello" to say you were there if time is short. We all need and appreciate knowing we're not just talking to ourselves, don't we?Hopefully this will help with all that Christmas card making - and any other cards too so please come along and join us. If you're not on FB you can still join in by leaving a comment on Kathy's blog and she will post a link to your blog on the FB page for you
Of course, a little bit of cheating is allowed - so making a few cards on one day and then sharing one at a time is perfectly acceptable...;)"

So here are my 'Funky Friday' and my 'Card a Day' makes

 This card is made using left over paper from the "October Freebie" from Anice at Funky Hand for anyone who would love to take part in the Get Funky challenge but doesn't own any Funky Hand products. The sentiment is from Twelve Crafters Crafting and the tree is a Memory Box die. 

 Papers from Traditional Ole Xmas by Funky Hand. This paper hasn't been released yet but most of the other new papers and digi stamps are now available on the Funky Hand web site

You should really take a look at the papers, they are seriously gorgeous :)

I made the bottom card using the sketch from Mojo Monday
I can also add them to Di Snippets
and Sarn's Penultimate Rudolf day

I now need to go and make my son's birthday cards, it's his birthday tomorrow (the sign of a true crafter lol )

Thanks for looking.
