Christmas Cards - at last!

Things have been pretty hectic - and stressful around the Smith household lately and I have just not had very much time to craft. However, I have managed a few Christmas cards and here is one of them. I hope you like it.

Time to Craft!

I took some time to craft yesterday and I really did enjoy it. I find it relaxing and theraputic - some me time! This is the second card I made yesterday and, strangely enough, I think I like it! I wanted to make something pretty and delicate and I hope I have achieved this. This is for a very special lady. I hope you like it!

Less is More - Challenge 36 - One Layer - Heart

Here is my take on this week's challenge. I have gone in a slightly different direction than I usually would so I may just HAVE to make another card in my usual style!!

Less is More - Week 34 - Sketch Challenge

And here we have another post - quite unbelievable I know! This is another challenge that I enjoy taking part in but again just wasn't able to find the time. My Craft Room is even tidy at the moment - must have been the lack of crafting. Don't you find it so much easier to create in a tidy room!

I do love to use black and white with an accent colour - it usually works well! This time I have used a bright pink - a good girly combination!

Less is More Challenge - Week 29 - Things That Move

At last I have found the time to make some cards! The summer has just flown past and have not had nearly as much time to spend in the craft room as I hoped. The positive thing, however, is that at long last I have spent the time completely decluttering, tidying and sorting the craft room and is now much more organised and acceptable for visitors!!! It was so untidy I avoided taking anyone in there when I could! Now that it is tidy the creativity can begin!

So, here is my take on 'Something That Moves'.

Happy Birthday to my lovely Auntie!

Today is my lovely Auntie's birthday. She is in her late seventies and has just spent many weeks in hospital recovering from a stroke. Unfortunately last week she fell and fractured her hip, is back in hospital and has undergone hip surgery. We wanted to make today a special day for her! My youngest daughter and I spent yesterday evening putting together a small scrapbook and making cards while my husband baked the birthday cake - chocolate - yummy!!!

This morning I was up early and have already completed a scrapbook page to replace the front page - which I decided duriing the night that I didn't like!!!

Here are the cards I made for her husband to send and also ourselves.

Less is More Colour Challenge!

At last I squeezed in the time to make a card! The challenge was to create clean and simple card with shades of blue. This is what I made.
