more unfinished stuff

here is yet another unfinished item this is something i started last year
before christmas didnt have time to finish it so it got left.  i started
again last week but didnt buy enought ribbon to get it finsished


so i will have to go back and buy some more. It was started with stampin
up material, and i really didnt gel with the colours but i do think it is
coming together with the red and green ribbon i've put a gold bow
on it but i want something else on it but again not too sure what that
is any ideas let me know

later

Unfinished Business

The title says it all, i seem to have quite a lot of unfinished
craft projects so rather than wait till they are all finished
i would show them unfinished then hopefully when they

are finished , this is going to be an advent picture for  christmas, i think
i may be getting too old for a calender.  It will probably sit there while
i look at it and work out what it is lacking, because i do feel its lacking
something.


Next item is a magnetic bill holder or a decorated giant peg depending
on your viewpoint  i picked the peg up on my travels then decorated it
with some paper and diamantes, i think i might have gone a bit over
board with the diamanted but there you go

Freshly made sketchs

obviously as i am on holiday from work, rather than doing jobs around
the house i am in my card room.

I needed a break from all the white christmas card so i have made
2 with colour today i've used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches
to give me a head start i really enjoyed making this card yet again


no sentiment but i will probably add one later

need to go make some tea now  catch you later

White is the new ??

On a roll i am with christmas cards, i've surprised myself again



by making white cards again with red as an accent colour i borrowed the stamp
set from my friend joanne you cant see on the photo but i've embossed the
white layer with polka dots which looks okay, i still think it might need a
sentiment but  not quite sure

first christmas cards of 2012

Well can you believe it i have got a weeks holiday from work, it seems
to have been a long time since i was off, it was in January after all.
obviously I have stacks to do, it goes without saying instead of
doing jobs around the house i have been in my craft room
I had to make a card for one of my friends and i wanted to
make  a start on christmas cards for this year, every year i
try to get ahead and every year in December i am franticaly
rushing around trying to finish them

So heres the first card i made today, cased it totally from someones


blog but i dont know which one so i cant give any credit 
Next a picture of the first batch of christmas cards i made,
 these are pretty different for
me as they are white cards with a hint of gold, i never ever make pure white
cards but i wanted to try out the snowflake punch my good friend monica
gave me and it seemed to be a plan to use plain white cards, still dont
know if i will put a sentiment on see you what you think


 i knew these would not photograph very well the base of the card is embossed
with snowflakes

really would like some input so please let me know what you think
