jingle bells....jingle bells....NO NO NO!!!!

I am trying to get a few more cards made for Emma's troops appeal....
but it feels a bit wrong making Christmas cards....but then,
the stupid man on the local radio this morning reminded listeners...
there are only about 113 days left till Christmas......

ANYWAY!

the cards need to be at Emma's by the beginning of October.

The ladies at my card class at Sally's shop have said that when we will do a Christmas card evening they will all donate a card each to the appeal!
SO I am well chuffed with that!

Anyway....here are a few cards I have made.
The top two have already gone to Emma. Think that makes 4 or 5 now ....


I should have photographed them out of their cellophane bags!!! DUH!!!

And will take these to her today!

I am still not sure about pink Christmas cards...even though it seems to be pink and green for this years cards.....I do love Maggie and the pink ribbon that says make a wish is so sweet!

I love the simplicity of this one.... the lighting was not good on it, the card is plain white square.
black background and red gems on the funky hands background cut into a tree shape!

I love this one....I used Emma's sizzix to cut out loads of cookie men using brown card.....

more flowers but not as we know it

I have been doing the re-arrange the spare room for weeks now.
I get a wee bit done most days.
The delay is mainly due to low energy levels
but also due to the fact I find hidden stash that I forgot I had!

I discovered all my felt...loads of colours!
must have been from the whole making all our nieces and nephews
Christmas stockings project a few years ago.

I am planning to make some felt flower wall hangings with this stash.
but couldn't find templates that were jsut what I wanted...

I did fins some more felt, ready cut in flower shapes that i will use to make templates....
Finished these yesterday.....



Decided to make them into broaches. I love broaches and pin's.

Gave this blue and green one to Emma, she loves this colour combo.

You do managed to see all the missed blanket stitching on the close up....
ach well I still love them!
