Today we had a guy round plastering the ceilings in our hall, staircase and landing. Hubby told me to keep out of the way as there was alot of plaster dust around so I shut myself away in my craft room, popped my ipod on and lost myself in crafting. First I did the layout above showing my husband in his new McLaren sweater on Christmas morning. I used a Simple Stories Christmas kit that I bought before Christmas for all my festive layouts.
When I'd done the layout I thought I had better make some little cards for my workmates. We all give cards on birthdays so I need about 30 for the whole year and to buy them would cost a fortune so I always make lots at the beginning of the year using up lots of scraps left from the year before. The design I pinched from my friend and workmate Val, who made me a gorgeous Christmas card using three Spellbinders tag dies. The front and back of the card are stuck together at the top so the bottom makes a little easel flap to stand the card up and has a small "Happy Birthday" greeting inside. Five down, only 25 more to make - oh joy!!
