I am in chaos here with the extension going on . I have moved my stash to it's new home but it is in complete turmoil!!!!
I have been trying to keep afloat in the school hols but my crafting has taken a nose dive.
I am attempt to "be prepared" does anyone fancy joining me in a weekly challenge for Xmas cards and maybe even a few pressies?

Lovely AQ. I have loads of the Blonde Moments left over from last year and have been contemplating making this year's with them. I got fed up of them last year though as I made hundreds to sell at a craft fair and did loads of embossing on them.

Really can't wait for the Rusty Pickle papers to come out this year although i doubt I'll make many cards with a newborn.

Dingle · 09/09/2007 16:44

Oh wow...well done!!!

Gingermonkey - How are you doing?

Whizzz - well done of the star- have you put piccie anywhere yet? What is your next creation?
My beading has only every got as far as my phone/bag charms and the odd bookmark! I am SOOOO

Califrau - OH!!! Can you not adapt it in some way, layer another photo over the top..or something!

Dior - Glad you managed to adapt your card OK, can't wait to see the piccie.

Pixie- Your cards are lovely-such fresh funky colours.

AQ- 7!!! Well done. Those papers are scrummy and I seem to recognise soemlillte reindeer!!

I managed to make 2 more cards today-1 more to go to meet my challenge but I haven't done much else!

I hope I haven't missed anyone out! Get thinking for ideas ready for next week if you want to join in.

I've done chuff all.

Gingermonkey · 09/09/2007 18:28

AQ, I love them all! I've put pics of how I have done so far on my blog here I am really rather proud of how much I have done! This challenge is definitely good for motivating me, at this rate I will have a house full of things by Christmas (which is great because people keep mentioning christmas orders to me and I get a bit panicked at the thought!!!!) Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to get some more christmas decorations done. (fingers crossed the posty brings me some buttons!)

Whizzz · 09/09/2007 19:48

Here are my things
here a Xmas Star, Black brick & strand bracelet & the copper leaf necklace

In my defence, I have been decorating BabyDragon's bedroom which is currently the spare/craft room. I did decorate a cardboard tree with eyelets last night and plan to mount it on a card somehow. It'll be sh*te and amaterish though!
