Hi and welcome to cardsarus blog spot My name is Jenny Lawrence and I live in Kent. My dear and wonderful husband Tony passed away in March 2019 We had been married for 36 years. I also lost my first Husband to the big C when I was quite young. I have 3 children and 3 stepchildren. 12 Grandchildren and 5 Great Granddaughters and 3 Great Grandsons. I have been card making for about 25 years. I have made things all my life as my Mum and Grand Mother taught me lots of hobbies. I have made my own clothes, knitted garments, hand embroidered items of clothing, and crocheted items too. I love to bake my own cakes as well.

FATHER CHRISTMAS

Good morning to all you wonderful and talented followers and 
visitors to my blog.
A big welcome to my new follower and thank you for choosing
to follow my blog.
Sorry I haven't posted for a few days, but you know what this time of year is like.
I had a few commitments and little Faye and Ellie to look after.
For anyone who doesn't know they are my two little great
granddaughters.

I hope you all keeping well and nearly ready for Christmas.
I still have one Christmas card to make but haven't had the time 
to craft for a few days.
My card today is one I made on the weekend.

Click on the photo to enlarge the picture.

Now the inside.





This is an 8x8 card size.
Matted with red card and Dovecraft Back to Basic Christmas
papers.
I added some ribbon to the center and some lovely lace threaded
with velvet ribbon through it.
The lace was sent to me by a wonderful blog buddy, you know 
who you are Thank You sooooooo much.
The image I have used before it's a freebie off the internet.
I coloured in with Promarkers, and then added some 
embellishments from my stash.
THANK YOU for your visit and wonderful comments on my
work.
I hope you all have a wonderful day and that you can spare the 
time to do some craft.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

Jenny. What a lonely cheerful card. Just love it. Yes I know how looking after little ones takes up your time, I seem to be here there and ever where this week. To little grandsons nursery yesterday in the morning then to the girls school Christmas party - they still give them an old fashion party with party games etc. there are only 40 in the school so it covers them all and nice to see and the older ones play along about Santa. Tomorrow it's their school service so even with mummy being there Hazel has to be there to. All part of being a nanny to them for 10 years. Take care. Hazel.
