Christmas Card eight

 The little stars, and dots are from peel off sheets. Also a charity shop purchase.

I have some fond memories of skating, I am not at all good at it mind and don't think my knees or ankles would cooperate should I try it now.

Christmas Card seven

 The cards, simple brown cards are a charity shop purchase and came with envelopes.

So whilst theses are not charity produced cards as such they have still contributed to a charity.

Christmas Card six

 I have more card marking stuff than the amount of card making I do merits,  some I bought and some was gifted.

It is always nice to use some of it up.

This one has parcel ribbon on the card.

A new start

 because I had this fabric, a random purchase of four pieces of material.

Four rose panels in different colours.

Oh, I have a thought and the sewing machine was out for a bit of clothing alteration so

Made a little start, but there are still contemplations before it goes any further.

Christmas Card five

 

The ribbons on all but one of the card "parcels" are from rolls of stick on edges. They were given to me in a bag of card making stuff. 

Christmas Card four

 I used some lengths of wool from the gifted box (the rest of the wool is going to a charity shop, I won't use it, the pre-cut bits I kept as they won't do for a charity shop) in a colour coordinating with the gift label.

it feels nice using up little bits of oddments from my stash.

This is the last of the red label cards.

BFF RAL that almost wasn't

 There were low expectations for this online get together as my BFF expected to be dealing with some work travel and might be a bit worn out or the transport might have been delayed.

Things did not pan out quite as expected but we did manage to fit in the get together.

I had a Christmas stitch I thought to use to RAL but I have put it down in a safe place?

So instead Celtic knot work on the dragon project from The World of Cross Stitching 

It has moved on since last share.

CLICK HERE to see how my BFF's RAL has progressed, she did well for the evening given she was not feeling her best. Well married couples share you know.

Christmas Card three

 the set of labels came in three colours

Christmas Card two

 each card is different, either in the ribbon

or the decoration used, stars or dots.

Christmas card one..

 this is the first of the mouse cross stitches. The kit was for gift tags, I have put them onto cards decorated to look like parcels.

They are removable so the recipient can reuse them, either as gift tags or as tree decorations.
