Thursday already.

OK who forgot to remind me that yesterday was Rudolph day, so you've been warned there could be some Christmas Cards coming soon.

I have been sort of trying to keep up with the challenges not sure where the week has gone. The first one is for CPS #70, wasn't sure about this one, I wanted to make a frame, tried with lace, punches still didn't like it so I going to try ribbon when I saw these flowers and it worked. The Sweet Ebony image is coloured with watercolour pencils. Papers are doodlebug.
Now the Ismaki #25 is from Malin whose on the Magnolia DT now I didn't have a clue with this sketch but I had this cute pair from Sugar Nellie ready coloured and wheres everyone is using flowers for the circles etc I've used some papermania chipboard that I've had for ages but for the whole thing to work I turned the sketch 90 degrees and used some of my new ribbon. Message to Manue, have tried to e-mail you but they keep being returned to me but thanks for the lovely comments.

Recently I received my P60 and realised I was paying more tax than when I was working, so I got in touch with Tax Office and yesterday a nice cheque arrived. There was no way I would be allowed to use all of it for craft shopping but I thought I would get something I want but don't really need. So I've brought cuttlebug binder to put all my embossing folders in and maybe there was a cricut cartridge I fancied too.
