I've just blogged http://sunrisecards.blogspot.com about a calender easel I've just made
can you tell I'm now addicted to easel cards lol
Hubby and I made a deal that we would make one christmas card each per week until the end of November - we now have 6 cards in a box put away ready for December - I do love to be organised !!

Ooh, I love the easel ones! My favourite is the pink fairy - very pretty!

Morning ladies

Jazabelle - Beautiful cards

Alyssa - Love your card and box!

Rainmac - How are your boys today?

My mum has asked me to come up with some kind of invite using an image she has sent me, she said she was thinking postcard sized and wants something simple. All I can come up with is to mount this picture onto some card and then I am stuck!! The writing will all go on the back which I can type out and print off but for the front I am stuck!! Any suggestions? bit of background -
For my mum, she will be 50, she is having an proper english cream tea for all of her friends at a little shack type club at the side of the canal. There will be all of her family there as it will be my Grandads memorial the same weekend (not sure if before or after)

Hi everyone,

I was without t'internet until yesterday evening - shakes with withdrawal symptoms :rotfl::rotfl:.

Sunrise, Jazzabelle and Alyssa - lovely cards :T.
Sorry if I have missed any others as I have just skim-read the last few pages.

Had to laugh yesterday, remember I was getting my knickers in a knot about attempting distressing. Well in the words of my daughter, my first attempt using a nail file and a teabag was a FAIL - a FAIL of EPIC proportions :rotfl:. It was very quickly filed in the bin.

Not to be beaten (I'm a bit stubborn), I gave it a second go. I scraped the edge of the paper with a pair of nail scissors and ran the edges through my black stazon ink-pad. Much better!! I see some more spending elves appearing to buy a distressing tool and some Tim Holtz distressing inks - ho hum.....

Think of me today - ds who has Asperger's Syndrome and me are off to the gym :cool:- yip that's me trying to hide in the dark glasses. Oh Lord, an unfit 40 something and an unco-ordinated high functioning autistic lad :eek: - ah well we'll have fun :rolleyes:.

Will report back later,
Thriftyxxx
