 Good morning to my dear blog friends and visitors.
Thank you for all your wonderful comments.
I really do appreciate everyone that you make.
If you are a visitor don't be shy I would love you leave me a 
comment even if you don't join my blog.

Well I managed to do some crafting yesterday and this the last
Christmas card  I had to do for the residents that live in the sheltered housing flats that is nearly next to my bungalow.
I hope you like it.

 Now the inside.

This is an 8x8 size card.
Matted with Dovecraft Metallic Pearl card and the papers were
from the paper pad I bought from Hobbycraft called Dessert Blooms.
The Digi calender image was from Pink Gems, matted onto the
Decorative Circles Die.
I added some cotton crochet lace I bought many moons ago
under the circles,  and threaded ribbon through it that I won on
a blog hop.
The corners are Marianne Creatables, and I used some sock and
wooden tree embellishments from my stash.
Thank you again for your visit especially at such a busy time
of the year.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday, please try not to
panic if your not ready for Christmas.
So what if you forgot the Turkey or Christmas Pudding. lol
I only eat Chocolate at Christmas anyway. lol.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

ANOTHER OF PATRICIA'S BAGS

Good morning to all you wonderful talented craft people and
visitors.
THANK YOU yet again for your visit and comments, especially
at this time of year when we all are very busy preparing for 
Christmas.
Today I have my Christmas raffle at my club I run so I may 
be a little late visiting all of your blogs.
We break up for Christmas today and don't return till mid Jan.
This gives me and my friend that run the club a little break to
do what we have to do for Christmas.

I haven't a card today but another one of my versions of 
Patricia's bag.
You can find the tutorial here http://www.patricia-summerhousecrafts.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/how-to-make-gift-bag.html

 Now the side view.

I didn't have double sided card, but if you have it would finish
it off nicely.
I used the Grand Scolloped Squares to make my version.
Tomorrow this will be filled with sweets to go in the raffle.
I know I can hear all of you saying yum! yum!
Thank you again for your visit.
I hope you all have a very wonderful day, and that you are all
keeping warm and cosy in this cold weather we are having.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

MY FIRST CHRISTMAS CARD and BLOG CANDY

BLOG CANDY

Hi and good Monday morning to all of you.
May I say a big hello to my new followers, and a big
THANK YOU, To those of you who have given your precious
time to visit my blog over the past week. Your lovely comments
on my work has made me soooooooo happy.
Now to the BLOG CANDY. I have 12 followers now. I know
it says 13, but I put my name on there when you lovely followers
said there was a problem last week, and basically I don't know
how to remove it. I will learn though, I'm sure.
Well I was thinking that when my followers reaches 30 I would
have a draw for the Candy, that is pictured along side.

Now to today's card it's my first Christmas Card of this year. A little different for me but then I like to
try new ideas every now and then. The colours are different too. It will be interesting to hear what you
have to say about it.

Here is the inside of the card.
The card is my usual 8x8 matted with pink and blue card stock. The lace is from you know where by now. The image is from Pink Gems digi images and oh my new watermark is from there too. I coloured
it in with Spectrum Noir pens. A white pen to make the dots on her headdress. Flowers from WOC
and my stash. Flat back pearls from my stash also. The metal corners, and the star pearls I inherited
from my Aunty Pat. I recycled some Spellbinders cut outs left over pieces from the Parisian Dies
round the image, and oh I nearly forgot the sunshine and smiles tag is also a digi image from
Pink Gems site, mounted on a Spellbinders Lacy Cirle die, one on top of the other off set.
I think I might enter this in the pink Gems challenge as the theme is animals or bears.
I hope you like it and thank you again for your precious time.
