Hunky Dory ....

Last year I bought a huge kit from Create and Craft and I think I will still be using it in four years time.  Fabulous images and card, but oh my what a lot of it!  Anyway I had a lot of cards to make for a friend of my daughter so it did come in very handy for making some large special cards with impact or at least I hope the recipient thinks they have impact.

This one is gatefold card - I hate doing these but had some card blanks that needed using so forced myself to use a few.  Trouble is with Hunky Dory it's not cheap so sadly this card with it's three sheets of Hunky Dory plus mirri card etc cost more to make than I charged for it - silly me - good job I enjoy creating stuff!  

As you can see I really went the extra mile on this and finished the inside to match the outer one.  My halo is shining LOL!

The sentiments were done using Britannia word dies and stuck on using Stick it - I only hope they stay in place as I kept having to press them down firmly.  Yet another craft product that doesn't do all it says on the tin!

Challenges...

• C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - Christmas
• Pixie's Playground - use your snippets - all the sentiments were cut using bits of mirri card left from other projects.  

Have  a great day everyone whatever you are up to.

Christmas Beasties...

Oh my I've been so busy crafting this week in amongst hospital visits - making Christmas crackers with the residents at the nursing home and a thousand other things that I haven't had time for very much blogging at all.  
However, today is My Time to Craft day and a new challenge!  This time we are thinking about 'Christmas Animals'.  A nice easy one as animals feature on so many Christmas images.
For my card I've used a Hunky Dory set of polar bear images and backing card.  I've used loads of their stuff this week as I really needed to get a lot of cards done fast and as much as I love colouring and stamping etc it's a lot quicker when that part is done for you.

Other Challenges...

• Natalie and Amy - Crhistmas 
• Sparkles - Christmas

Have a great weekend - stay warm and safe from all these huge gails if you are in England.

Thank you everyone else with your lovely comments.  I'm still sad about Sweet Pea being no more but I think my huge stamp collection will keep me going for some time fortunately.
