Whoopsi Daisy Christmas Angel

Hi Everyone

I've had a bit of a spend up this week! Well only cost me £5.00 so far as I had my 15 year presentation at work and got a £200 gift and also a £300 theatre break. Thought I'd better not spend all of the gift money on crafting goodies so I split the money between crafty stuff and Pandora! I also got a certificate, bottle of champers and a glass award.

I had a spend up at Oyster Stamps with Karen yesterday and bought another 4 sets of Spectrum Noir pens from Crafters Companion.

Didn't have a great deal of time toinight so I just made a quickie Christmas card using one of my new corner dies and a few of my pens.

Hope you like it..................

You never know I might get a bit more time to use my goodies over the weekend (thank goodness its Friday tomorrow!). Off to plan the theatre break!

Crafty Corner Day part 2.....

Well, it's been a lovely day (not the weather!) being in Crafty Corner. Shame I've got to go back to work tomorrow. Still I have got another day off in a couple of weeks time - could be a repeat performance!

Looks like I have Karen to blame for this one as I seem to have caught the Saturated Canary bug!

Here is Princess Honor that I've coloured today. I've kept the card quite simple as the papers are lovely and glittery on their own.

 

Hope you like her!

The best way to spend a day off.....

is being in Crafty Corner! And I must admit I did have a long lay-in this morning too - must have needed it!

Anyway, here is the first creation of the day from Crafty Corner and I've used another Saturated Canary image - this time its Butterfly Princess. I must say that Crafty Corner is now much improved now that I have a new stereo in there!

I'm off to do a little bit of shopping now, but I'll be back in Crafty Corner later this afternoon!

See you soon

Here is the card I made for Lizzie:-

To see the rest of the Team's cards pop over to the Forever Friends Challenge Blog. We are also having a DT call if you would like to join our family that loves the Forever Friends bears.
