Hamish

I love sugar Nellie Stamps... my favourite has to be Hamish and Maggie.
I am lucky enough to have the shop that sells the worldwide in my local town...

I bought a new Hamish yesterday, wee chef Hamish...he is cute and I was planning on haven some craft time later on , but seemingly Emma has a few more Christmas cards for sorting....
ooh have you checked her Christmas Candy out yet?

Hamish will just have to wait!

But in true Blue Peter fashion...
and oh yes You know I have a Blue Peter badge....
here is a Hamish Card I made earlier!!


This one is to be entered for the This Thursday Challenge.....its is all about flags!
Have also entered it on the ABC Challenge too, which the layout came from .

I think it will used for my older brothers Birthday card next month.

Have a lovely Friday xxx

Tuesday cards makes

Last night's card class was a real giggle.

The ladies also donated cards for the Troops Christmas card appeal!!!!



And two more of them have cards to pop into us.
Emma & I will deliver the cards to the coordinator in Aberdeen on Saturday.
The total was at 1023 last time I looked on Emma's blog.

This are the two cards I made in class......

I love this card, its simple but so sweet.



I have always wanted to make a waterfall card, and we had the choice between Poinsettias or Daisies for the stamp.


I had made a few Christmas cards these last few days so went for Daisy.

The Poinsettias cards had a green matting card.
I picked yellow and am not sure if it is too bright but I like the end result.

I think I put the strip a wee bit wonky but I will have another go at these cards.

We are at the end of this block of the classes but start back again at the end of the month.

Tuesday's card class makes

Well last night's card class was much more enjoyable for me...cause I stayed awake this week!
Can't believe that I fell asleep there last week due to illness & disturbed nights.

We made again made a couple of cards but I can only show you one as the other one is for someone who reads this blog and needs to be kept hidden for a wee while.

but here is my Christmas pudding card....

I will put a peel off or a sentiment on the red plinth.

And you cant see it but the icing or butter brandy over the pudding is glittery.....

I bought the template to make this and you can use it for all sorts.
This is the template I used.....

I will make some more hopefully over the next few days.
Am planning to go round to Emma's over the next few days to get the Troops appeal cards that we have received sorted out.

THANK YOU for all the cards we have so far!!!!

Remember they have to be in before first of October.

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.....
