Tuesday 14th

I had quite a productive day, yesterday and rather than schedule them through the week I thought I'll show them today anyway. The first one is for Sketch Saturday and those wonderful Christmas stamps from Funky Kits. The papers are Papermania and various die cut snowflakes, with the busy paper I've kept it very simple. I'm also trying to make cards that can go through normal post, with all the layers, brads and gems must of my cards have to sent large post. Even with the bow this Christmas Card is normal!
I've used Kazan's sketch 11 on 2 sketchers 4 you, with some figgy pudding BG and the inkadinkado christmas stamps, cuttlebug snowflake and some peel off's, I've managed to make sure this card goes through normal post too.
This card also goes through normal post even though I layered the butterfly, this card I used CPS #86 and Doodlebug papers. The punch is Martha Stewart which was a mistake, I found the lace doily one on e-bay, I was so excited I ordered the wrong one, it wasn't cheap either so I've been good and decided it wasn't too be, well not this month anyway.

This time tomorrow I shall be at Gatwick waiting for a plane to whisk us away to Spain, just got to make sure there's plenty of food in the house for DD, the washing is all done and the post is ready to go to the Post Office. I've schedule some postings, so if Blogger loves me they should work, if not I'll be back in ten days.

Oh wow, these are all just beautiful. Its quite amazing to see that the overseas people still send beautiful Xmas cards to each other. It seems like us South Africans have stopped with the tradition of sending Xmas cards to family and friends. Warm regards

Your cards are absolutely gorgeous.

I like seeing cards that are intended to make it through the mail. So often the heavily embellished ones need a lot of extra care to get to the recipient.

Wonderful work! Love it.

The crux of your writing while sounding agreeable initially, did not work well with me after some time. Somewhere within the paragraphs you managed to make me a believer but only for a very short while. I nevertheless have a problem with your leaps in assumptions and you would do well to fill in those gaps. If you can accomplish that, I could certainly be amazed.
