Totally Gorjuss - 110 - Let it Snow!

Good morning everyone and welcome to the weekend. That challenge title is uncannily accurate. I wasn't happy when the snow started a little on Friday afternoon but there was even more at night. Can't say I'm a happy bunny! I was hoping it would stay away as I've got a Christmas meal with the Guild on Monday night and then with the WRI on Wednesday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as the WRI meal was cancelled last year.

So here's my card for the Totally Gorjuss where the theme this week is "Let it Snow" and we are sponsored by the lovely people at Crafter's Companion so I hope you can join us.

I used :-

Image :- :PTV Cute square.

Sentiment & Card Candi :- Craftwork Cards.

Star :- Memory Box.

Glamour Dust and jewels.

I'm entering the following challenges :-

ABC Christmas :- Y is for yippee - Christmas is almost here.
Creative Card Crew :- Tis the Season.
Cute Card Thursday :- Anything Goes.

I'll try to catch up with everyone later after work. I'm almost finished my Christmas cards now. I've made 92 but I'd still like to make some more just to be on the safe side. Then of course there's my family cards and the gift cards. I really want to get organised so I can hand out cards on Monday & Wednesday if I get to my nights out. I keep trying to tell myself I'm getting on better than last year but I'm not sure that's true lol!

Enjoy your weekend whatever you're doing. Thanks for looking.

Penny Black 179 - Red & Embossing.

Hi everyone I've been missing blogging this week. I haven't been online since Friday night until this morning.

We went to visit our daughter and family on Saturday. I made about 34 fairy cakes for the party bags and Poppy's birthday cake. Catriona decorated them all. The cake was a cat's face, the nearest Poppy's going to get to having a cat lol! Catriona loves cats but her husband doesn't, so no cat for them. We also went to see the Christmas lights being switched on in Crieff and got completely soaked.

Poppy's birthday was not enjoyed by the birthday girl as much as it might have been as she had an upset tummy. We think she might have picked up a bug from her cousins! She was a bit better when we left on Monday morning but was having to miss nursery.

So between one thing and another I didn't get much done! I did spend about 2 hours making the Martha Stewart advent calendar for Poppy and Oliver. Excuse the dodgy photo as it was taken on top of the spare bed where the little house is hidden till the 1st. I don't think it's as squint as it looks.

Tonight is the first chance I've had to craft so I couldn't resist making a card using this lovely Penny Black image of my favourite snowman. Isn't he cute?

I used :-

Image :- Penny Black.

Sentiment and Card Candi :- Craftwork Cards.

Colouring :- Promarkers.

Sizzix and Cuttlebug embossing folders.

Glamour dust, ribbon & Sakura clear glitter gel pen.

I'd like to enter the following challenges :-

Penny Black :- Christmas, red and embossing.

Craft Your Days Away :- Buttons or Bows.

Charisma Cardz :- Snowflakes.

Creative Card Crew :-Monochromatic.

One Stitch at a Time :- Seeing Red.
Dream Valley :- Sparkle.

I think I'll go and finish off my Tesco order now. After the fiasco last week I've more or less done it and I've just got a couple of things to add. The one thing I am pleased about is getting my Christmas cake made this morning. I haven't made one for years but I seem to have volunteered to make one this year. I dug out my favourite recipe from my Rayburn cookbook. I don't have a Rayburn in this house but I always say if I win lots of money on the Lottery I'll buy a Rayburn or an Aga. I'll try to do some catching up tomorrow. I'm sure I'll have plenty of DT catching up to do and I'm hoping to get this weeks card made too.

Thanks for looking and sorry for being a bad blogger recently. I'm hoping that my internet connection is a lot better now. After being on the phone a couple of times last week about it it should be!
