Thank you Card

 

I had to make a Thank you card for Nanny as she give me, Duncan and Jennifer money for Christmas which comes in very handy for our hobbies. Jennifer put hers towards a game for her DS. Duncan put his money towards a game for his new Xbox and of course I put my money towards new toys for card making.

This is what I made for her:

I used my new Labels Five nesties. I used my crayons which I have not used in ages. I also used my new embossing folder from Crafts-Too of hearts. I am sure you recognise Tilda.

I am going to enter this card into 3 challenges:

Tuesday Morning Sketches – A Sketch

Cute Card Thursday – Thank you

CRAFT Challenge – Thank you.

Thanks for looking and do say hi.

My crocheted boxes

Hi Guys,

Like I said before that I seem to pick crafts I can do downstairs in the room as my craft room is quite cold in winter.  I decided that for Christmas presents I would make Duncan’s mum and Sister in Law some crochet boxes with a little something inside.

Here they are and I am so proud of them.

The pattern I used did not have the white edges or the flowers. The edge I did by myself and the flower I got out of a weekly mag I get.

I hope you like and do say hi.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Hi guys,

Long time no hear………I have been crafting but not making cards. I have made some crocheted boxes and I have a pair of wrist warmers to finish. My craft room is up in the attic and it can get quite cold up there even with the heating on…….so I seemed to do a bit of cross stitching, knitting now I know how to……and crochet as I can do this in the room.

I will upload the pictures tomorrow.

Enjoy the rest of Christmas.

Love Jane XX
