Blimey - you lot HAVE been busy
I've been busy too but sadly not on card making - oh the joys of working for a bank at a time like this!
Anyhoo. Here's a card which I meant to post to for the food challenge.



I'm pleased with this for 2 reasons
Firstly, its very MSE as the cupcake embellishment was rescued from one of my birthday cards frmo my sister.
Secondly, I like the glitter and its only there because I was too lazy to stick all the letters down individually and it was only afterwards that it occurred to me that that would leave a nasty sticky stripe dwn the front of the card. glitter was my solution.

Next up is the card that I should have posted for the animals challenge. Ok, ok - I know it's a bird but its the best I could do. It's for my dad's birthday and I made the owl on my pals cricut

Next up is the acceptance card I made for my friends Wedding invitation.



I was trying to make one to match her invitation which looked like this

but my efforts all went a bit wrong so I decided the least I could do was resue some of the hearts I'd cut out.
Thought I'd post the invitation tho in case anyone else fancied having a go

Nearly there now, honest!
Just a few Christmas cards

And finally, my favourite Christmas card so far


I made it using the 'paper dolls' cartridge on the cricut. I had a lot of fun cutting loads of figures out whilst I was "looking after" the machine while my friend was on holiday. Just got to get around to making them all up now. I still have a shephers card and a mary and joseph card to make but I'm saving them for a weekend treat (sad I know)
