love2shop2, your friend will get through this. Just treat her the same as always - as a good friend does.

Florenceem, great male cards - I always find these tough to do.

Finally I've got round to posting pic of my 25 bags for Beads of Courage.

Also I DID get started on Christmas cards today.

I got these recycled cards done in an hour and a half, but it was a bit of a cheat. I had 6" square card blanks, so I looked for all the square images and then it was just a case of matting and layering and sticking to the card.

Florenceem

Had a look on the Flickr site - lots of lovely makes.
I have made more recycled Christmas cards. I make most of the card blanks using card given to us.

Lots of fab makes again, well done everyone :T

Just popping by to declare two more makes completed (three pics on facebook):

Off to rest up a bit this evening as was at hospital yesterday for tests (assuming routine checkups since op) and have spent today pottering, making & baking. The house frame I am going to leave so that the recipient can fill with some of their treasures too

Hope you're all having a lovely long weekend :A

Decided to try my first online challenge and make a tag

Florenceem

Love the house make.
The tag is great - there are lots of crafters who make tags. I have never made one. Do you mount the completed tag on a card?

loopychriss

OOoh Ziggy I love your little house.... nice idea to leave some of it free for the recipient's own things..

I can't remember where I bought my house from, as it was a while ago. Think it might have been The Range, so will have to keep an eye open when I go there next week.

Nothing done today stash-busting wise... must try harder tomorrow!
