The End is in Sight!!!!

Good afternoon, what a better day, at least I have been to keep upright today when walking the dogs.  The sun shone for a while and most of the ice/snow is gone, hurrah for that. It was great to be able to walk for a fair distance because we have felt couped up over the last week.  I think the dogs even enjoyed being able to run around, although they do love the snow, they roll around and push their noses in the deeper parts.

I have nearly completed my hand delivered Christmas cards and the posted ones, although not many this year, have all been despatched. So I am feeling good, was getting a bit fed up with Christmas cards so am looking forward to some new ventures in the New Year.  I have pick up lots of hints and tips from all you talented ladies so hopefully I will be able to put them to good use later.  There are so many projects I want to try that I do not know where to start.  This card received its inspiration from  Wendy at Confessions of a Papersniffer, when I saw a card she made I decided to adopt her background layout, so thanks Wendy for giving me this idea.

 

Ingredients

 

8x8 card

Kraft card, red and green card from stock

Papermania Home for Christmas paper pack

Spellbinders Grand  Labels One

Spellbinders Poinsettia

LOTV die cut topper (already coloured)

Glitter - Diamond Sparkles

Sentiment and germs from stock

 

I just love LOTV toppers but next year will buy some stamps and attempt to colour them myself, another project to try.  I hope you ladies will understand when I borrow your ideas that I find them so beautiful and need to try out your designs.  I believe that's what crafting is all about, passing on knowledge, and I am like a sponge these days.  Sometimes I amaze myself by creating something I am proud of, I sit back and say "well I did not know you had it in you".

 

Well dinner calls, hubby has done a Sunday roast with all the trimmings so I am looking forward to it very much.  After we have eaten it will be either clearing up and dishes or walking the dogs, either or I am not fussy, but I will have to wait and see what hubby wants to do. He cannot make his mind up the lesser of the two evils.

 

Oh I have just noticed I have a new follower, Christine Emberson, no less, welcome to my humble blog.  Christine featured my dogs today in her Pet Gallery on her blog http://hope-chances.blogspot.co.uk/ and if you ever need inspiration you should visit her.

 

Well ladies wrap up warm and take care.
