four for Shirleyanne.

I am making good headway through my own Christmas/Yule Blessings cards.
Planning to make a couple most days and I should be done well before they
need posting or delivering.

Well that's the plan!

So I offered to do four personal Christmas Cards for Shirleyanne to give to her immediate family.

She didn't want them to be too cutesie or slushie.

I made a sheets of sentiment tags with all the names of people I was making named cards for,
so I popped four more on to print.
I will layer them and apply to the cards when she decides who each card is for from the list.

But here are three of the four I have done for her.

The sentiment will go on the top left corner above the hedgehog on this one.



She loves cats. The cat & the hedgehog above, are from (I think)
a images swap from the lovely Natalie at NG Cards.


I love the scribbles snowman and have used him in lots of my cards this year.


Since my hubby made lots of veggies and pudding yesterday....and none of you have turned up for dinner, we enjoyed yummy leftovers with some grilled fish as he had gone to local fish mongers when he did the weekly shopping,
so minimal effort for dinner,
hardly any clear up
and crafting time for me!

Sunday chillin.....

My lovely Hubby has been very good at doing most of the cooking and stuff
while I have been poorly,
we used to do a lot of the cooking together but I did the bulk of it.

He has taking to making the meal when my mate Shirleyanne comes over for dinner at the weekend and we then spend the next few hours haven a giggle
while watching Alaskan crab fishing prog.....

Don't knock it till you have tried it!

It is addictive!!

He surpassed himself yesterday!

We had parma ham and other meats with melon platter....
(I did that !) lol
then he did grilled lemon soul, with black pepper and parsley,
mashed tatties with spinach ( need to boost my iron!)
and a veggie medley from our veggie box.
and for pudding sticky toffee pudding which was so light and yummmmmmy!

I made two cards while he was making pudding before Shirleyanne got here!!!

The backing papers are from forever friends that I heat embossed and layered
using pearl papers and cards, while the backing behind the stamped image is dyed material that my lovely mate Briony did. It is a beautiful deep purple with cerise dyed into it.

It is very beautiful material and I was in two minds whether to use it or keep it.
It is stitched onto the white pearl card using two different coloured threads.

This one I am entering it for the Sketch Saturday Challenge



The image is a forever friends sticker that came with a crafting magazine.
I am still not keen on FF but will use up what I have.

We wont eat evening meals again together till Friday as he is on late shifts all week,so just be me and Poppy.
