Here are some more of the greetings cards I have made for christmas using my bits and pieces from my ever expanding craft stash

It has been a difficult year so far with two close family members passing within two months of each other. So all my good intentions of keeping this blog upto date on a regular basis just flew out of the window. Don't you find life is like that sometimes, throwing curve balls.

I needed some distraction from everyday life and what better time of the year to get my creative mojo back. I have always loved making Christmas cards for my family and friends throughout the world and each card is made with lots of thought and love.

With so many scraps of paper, card, ribbons, embellishments etc to use up, it overtook the craft room. Having everything out scattered all over the place has certainly got the creative juices flowing.

Here are are few of the designs I have made so far. Hope you like them.

Hi Crafters, what a glorious Sunday it is here in Porto, the sun is shinning, the skies are blue and its pleasantly warm which is more than I can say for the North East of England where I come from......brrrrrr comes to mind.

I have a box or two full of bits of card, designer paper and mulberry paper so I decided to try and use some of it up making Christmas cards. This Santa card is what I came up with using the bits in the box.  Hope you like it.
