Count Down to Christmas!

By
Well here we are four days into Advent and I hardly have any cards made! I have a day off on Friday and I can see me having a marathon card making session. That's apart from getting them written and posted  - eek!

So I said I hardly have any made  - here's one that I managed to get done this last weekend. 



I got the inspiration for this from Pinterest and it uses the lovely Christmas Happiness stamp set. I love the pine branches and cones and the silver bow adds the perfect finishing touch. 

So before I go to bed tonight I am starting to set up my planner for next year. I love the idea of bullet journaling but I've decided to move from a notebook to a filo fax. 
I tend to always be playing catch up when it comes to setting up the pages so I've bought some ready printed ones so I should be more organised  - well that's the idea anyway!
I will get it set up and then do a post later in the week. Meanwhile I have been frantically working on my Mum's Advent calendar. That sure took longer than expected to make  - more on that story later as they say. 

Thanks for stopping by tonight and taking a look  - I hope to see you again soon  - j xx

  Hello - it’s a long time since I last posted but I was asked to be a Guest Designer in  The Male Room  and I jumped at the chance. I set up the challenge blog a long time ago but had to give it up due to personal reasons. Since then it has carried on splendidly and today is their 200th challenge - how cool is that? So here is the challenge brief: Now to be totally honest with you I am a cat person and I very nearly did a cat card however, a dog is man's best friend and after all this is a male card so.................. Here we have a very excited trio of woofers out in the forest on their walkies! I used Stampin' Up sets for this card: Trees For Sale, Campology and Grassy Grove. Don't forget to pop over and take a look at all the other fab cards from the DT and leave some love. J xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
