Let the Destruction Begin

This image reminds me of my daughter's cat.  We would lose her and find her in the Christmas tree.  My daughter now puts her tree up early so the cat gets used to it and hopefully will stay out of it once the decorations are added - time will tell on that.

Merry Christmas

This is another of the cards that I created when the weather was atrocious.  At the moment, the sun is shining and hopefully it will be like that all day.  I really need a break from all this rain and considering it is "officially" the start of summer later this week, the temperatures have been fairly cool overnight and in the morning.

I get enough exercise just pushing my luck

 I usually struggle with humourous cards but when I was looking for a sentiment to go with this image, I saw the one that I used in this card and just had to use it!

Happy Birthday To Someone Special

This week at CRAFT Challenge, the theme is recycled.  I have a habit of collecting things that may be able to be recycled and then forget about using them.  I die-cut the foil and used it behind the image.

 I wash and keep the foil inserts from hummus containers.  I always intend to use them on craft projects and often forget I have them.

This photo shows the top of one, the underside of another, and the third is once it has been run through the Big Shot to flatten it.

Ho Ho Ho - Headed for the snow

After a wet weekend when we needed it to be dry, today the sun is out again.  I spent a bit of time this morning finishing off this card which I started last week.

After adapting to blogger doing everything with double spacing, this morning it seems to be formatting properly.  It will be interesting to see if this lasts or not.
