Another Christmas card

I completely forgot about this one when doing last week's posts. This was my 2011 card and like all the rest it was a last minute one.  I start thinking about the cards in November but they usually don't pull together until about halfway through December.  I remember being completely uninspired by everything I put together and then I received an email from an American Demonstrator, Sandi MacIver, who showed how this card was made.  This one was a hit with friends and relatives.





Lots of cutting, scoring and folding involved, but a very clever card.  Thanks Sandi.

A baby card

Another beautiful weekend.  Summer is certainly on its way!

This is another card from the archives.  Sorry, but everything lately is for the class next Saturday.  Have used the now retired Stitched Stocking set, but instead of a male orientated card this one is obviously for a newborn.  The sock has been cut down at the top slightly to make it more like a baby sock.  I have also used the French writing from French Foliage again on the edges.  Can you guess which is my favourite stamp?  The Congratulations was from the Baby Steps stamp with the little elephants.
