Jingle Belles Card 25

Hello again ... my 2nd post today ... 

I got a chance to do my 25th Card for Jingle Belles challenge ... nearly half way there already!
This week the guest star is Candy Blake and she has asked us to get "All Bundled Up" ... this means using layers ... 3 or more layers on our card ... 


Mission accomplished!


I used 4 layers of paper ... glittered a doily ... added a circle of paper to that, then a 3D sticker ... some lace, twine, a chipboard sentiment ... a Christmas stamp, a cardboard star and lastly I stamped a postage mark ... phew! ... Oh ... and some sewing ...


Have you done yours yet? ... why not pop over to the challenge blog and take a look at the inspiration on offer ... lovely cards from Stef, Lauren and Candy

Thanks for stopping by ... see you soon

Happy Birthday Sweet Sophia ....



This sweet little girl is 2 today! 
... and this is a little clip of her laughter as my brother and I play with her ... (I hope this works .. never tried this before and got no one to ask) ...

Anyway here is the card I made for her using my lovely MF papers ... 5th Avenue ... just love these


I confess that this was made in rather a hurry ...


Today is also my friends birthday and I have one more little gift to finish before I go to visit later ... But before I go I would like to thank sweet blog buddy Linda ... for this award ... 


I know that there are some rules to follow ... before passing this on ... and I promise I will be back ... I am just a little rushed right now 

Have a wonderful day

Till soon

What a day ....

Hi there ...

I have so much to do today ... I need to get things sorted for club night tonight ... usually I have something done by now but have been so busy with birthday gifts ... I have 10 birthday's one after the other this month! ... My hubby took me out for a coffee to give me a break and on our way back someone ran right into us! ... We are all ok thank God ... but my hubby is so very upset ... He loves his car ... it's his pride and joy ... but I keep have to reminding him that we are ok and it could have been worse. 
I hope that you are not getting tired of seeing my little gift sets as I have one more to share with you ... done with beautiful Melissa Frances papers sent to me by sweet Stella  ...


There are quite a few pictures here ... the card ...



Lets be honest ... MF papers are so pretty and detailed that they need little in the way of embellishments  to make something special ... and the rubons I have been hoarding forever!



even the leaves are punched from MF paper


The notebook .... I punched 3 butterflies to make it a 3D effect ...


... and the book mark ... 


... using up the scraps ...



I hope you like them ... now I need to get on and sort out some things so my sweet group can make some Father's Day cards ... 

Have a lovely day ...  thanks for stopping by and Keep safe!

More gifts ...

Hello and Good Morning to you ...

This month many of my friends have birthdays ... and I have another notebook and a bookmark to share that I made to go with This card  ... you all know I love to make these ...


I used Prima Botanicals paper for the background and kept the theme pretty much like my card 


... the punched butterflies are left overs from one of my Thursday classes ... That's the best part about making notebooks and bookmarks (and tags)... scraps always come in useful and look so good mixed together ...


... and of course using digital images (mushroom from Etsy Madebyjanet) means I can make them any size to fit my project ...
I have a couple more to do now and a card for Sophia who will be 2 in a few days ...

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by ...
