Bah! Blast from the Past Humbug!...

Card making - Crafting - what's that?  Where are days going and why am I meeting myself coming back all the time?  I really don't know and as to the silly person who decided to rearrange all her craft stuff (yet again) and now can't get it all back in the cupboards or find her desk I really don't know what to say about her.
I guess by now you will have sussed why I've decided to display a 'Blast from the Past' for this week's challenge at Bah! Humbug! I'm showing two cards made some time ago, but ones which I really both enjoyed making at the time and also still like, because let's face sometimes when we look at things made a while ago they don't look too good.
Our theme this week at Bah! Humbug! is 'TEXT'. I love playing with text especially when you can use the 'o' in words to create a shaker/apperture effect as in my first 'Blast from the Past' card.
On my second card I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder on thick vellum to create a frame for the text.  I haven't used that folder for ages - must use it soon.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone and do pop over to Bah! Humbug! to see what my talented buddies have been up to.

Well Ann ... If you should happen to find me running round in circles when you're meeting yourself coming back, would you please send me back to Humbug Hall lol!
Have to say it's no wonder you still like these cards 'cos they are fabulous, especially love the COOL one and I reckon both these cards will be winners for many years to come.

Well they are just lovely and perfect for the challenge. Believe me, I considered pulling out the one I did last year for this challenge but instead sort of copied the design using a different embossing folder and another stamp from the same set. LOL These are fabulous! xxD

Thank you so much to great friends who have become followers of my blog. Love having you around.
