Playing catch up

I feel that I have spent the whole day playing catch up, I blitzed the downstairs of my house, I was having a major pang of guilt as I completely ignored the layer of dust on Tuesday when I was off work, so today I couldn't put it off any longer. I then spent the next couple of hours bagging up 50+ bags of snowman poop & reindeer poop as little treats I am making. I have just tried to take some pictures but the light is so bad I will have to add them tomorrow.
I then moved onto my next list, ( I have lists everywhere at the moment ) Card orders from Paul's friends at work.




These were both made using the Cricut & the Cuttlebug, the embossed hearts are from a Stampin up set Happy hearts.

Then a few more of the family cards for the grandchildren. as we are going down to see them on Sunday, these included two Baby's first Christmas cards, it was then that i realised that I actually had 5 Baby's First Christmas cards to make, not all family I might add.

The above three cards are all made using the Nit wits collection "twas the night before Christmas".
I will pop back tomorrow with more cards from the next list.

Nitwits Cards ~ updated

As promised some cards using my newly downloaded Nitwits collection, this set is called Sugar cookies collection.

What else does this need?
I keep looking at this card & cant help feeling that it needs something else, I know that less is more but I don't feel that this card is finished.
Any ideas are welcome.......

Many thanks for all of your suggestions, I decided to go with the flowers, I have used 3 double layer prima flowers with a tiny gemstone brad in the middle.

"new & improved version"

Using up the little bits

After finishing my bind-it-all project and my penny Black Saturday challenge I had some of the lovely Nitwits collection papers left over, being a canny crafter I just had to use them all up.

Penny Black Saturday challenge 3

Challenge 3 - Colour Challenge

This week we would like you to use the colours

pink, brown and green

Don't forget you must include at least 1 PB stamp or image and
its entirely up to what you make - card, atc, altered art etc..


Okay take your pick as I couldn't decide

The papers are from a download kit by Nitwits

My first bind it all project

Well the postman eventually came on Monday, by the time I unpacked the box it was nearly bedtime & Tuesday I was ill all day so today is the first chance I've had to play with my new toy. I had already downloaded the paper collections from Nitwits
to make my Mum's birthday card.

I used 500gsm card cut into 3 tag shapes

Covered each side with different papers using pva glue

Using the Bind it all I put the three tag shapes together......Wow !!!
I'm very impressed with my new tool.

Through the back of the binding I tied assorted colours & types of ribbon.

The big flower is a Prima flower & the flowers on the right hand page are from the Nitwits collection and the buttons in the middle have ribbon tied through them & knotted.

All of the embellishments on this page are in the download collection, for the verse I put the printed paper through the printer again for the verse to be printed on co-ordinating paper.
