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

My New Toy

Hope your week is going well, mines not going  too
bad, i'm  waiting for my friend to come she also
does my hair which is in dire need of colouring
the grey is getting terrible.  While i have been
waiting for her to come i have been playing with
my new toy from e bay it  is the stampin up
lace punch i have been after it for a while but



i finally found it on e  bay for a bargain price this is
a very simple card but thats because it was as blunt
as anything and it took me  ages to sharpen it  so
i could use it this will be going into my card stash
for emergency cards

let me know what you think

FATHERS DAY

Well however short of time i am i have to
make my dad a card for fathers day!!

Ive totally cased this card from Michelle Lasts
blog i fell in love with this card the minute i saw
it and despite the lack of the stamp set i improvised

as you do i would really like the set she made it with, but funds at
the moment dont allow it, however when i win the lottery this
will be the first set i buy
