A Handbag!

Hi everyone I've no card to share with you today I have a handbag!  I went on a handbag workshop on Saturday which was my Christmas present from Will and this bag is the result!  The embroidey stitches are not perfect but I'm pleased with the results and I have learnt a new skill which I hope to put to good use again when I have practised a bit more. 

I'm watching DIY SOS as I type this and oh it's so sad already! I never going to get through it without tears!

Thanks for stopping by.

Pollycraft Monday Challenge ...........

Hi all, time for another Pollycraft Monday Challenge and our challenge for you this week is 'Bingo'. 

I have chosen Flowers, Pollycraft Image and Die cuts for my line.   The fab image  on my card is called Sonny Honey Cloud Butterflies from Pollycraft. The beautiful papers on my card were a Christmas present from my friend Marianne, thanks Marianne!  It makes  a nice change to make a card in those lovely bright colours, I have to be very careful that every card I make does not end up pink!

I am entering this card into this week's sketch challenge at Sketch Saturday.

Thanks for stopping by.

Another Christmas Scrapbook Page ......

Hi everyone, I have another page to share with you tonight of my Christmas Scrapbook.  I took most of these pictures on my phone and  Grace took the one of Will.    My husband is a bit of a bar humbug when it comes to Christmas and me and Grace where trying to get him more in the Christmas sprit when we took these photos.  That will teach him to pull such a silly face I don't expect he thought it would appear in the scrapbook!
