Yes, I'm still here!

Hello blogworld

I wouldn't be surprised if you've all given up on me and I'm here talking to myself and I wouldn't blame you if you did give up on me! I'm such a bad blogger at the mo, both for posting and commenting.

Huge apologies to everyone who has commented that I've not replied to, I am trying I'm just a tad busy at the mo - as is everyone I would imagine!

There's been cakes baked, cards made (though not for me - I made a batch for a friend, first time I've been asked to make Christmas cards!), Christmas party been to, house decorated and then un-decorated by those darn kittens.  I swear one of them is going to poo tinsel, she's eating so much of the stuff!!

Then today I'm off for a hair cut, the local Christmas Fayre tonight and still to come next week - Christingle, Christmas Play, Christmas Sing-a-long, birthday party - my god I'm exhausting myself just thinking about it!

Anyway, just to show that I'm still here and making the occasional card!  Which is going to have to be ramped up next week - here another CaS thing:

I used:

Stamps / Papers

Nope, no time!

Dies:

Nestie

Memory Box for the Deers

Embossing:

Swiss Dots and Snowflakes

Anything else?

Loads and loads of Glamour Dust

There you go, right well I'm off now to get myself an early lunch then I'm off for a cut and colour.

Wish me luck!!

Too simple?

Hello blogworld

And an especially hello-y hello to my new followers - thank you for deciding to listen to my waffle and watch the odd card being made!  Hope you enjoy!!

Hmmm, so now I'm in full Christmas swing - the trees are up and decorated and the advent calenders are open.   I thought this year that I'd try something new with advent calenders - can't take away SWMbO's choccie one (or ones!) but she's also got the addition of a Playmobil one.  It makes up into a Woodland scene over the course of the month.  She likes it, I think, but she's not overly impressed so far that all she's got was a bare tree and what looks like a raven!!  She did like the owl tho today, and has guessed that tomorrow is her first person.

Now then, this here card - I'm not sure.  I was debating a few more layers on it than this, but showed hubby and he said it looks very smart (whoo-ho get me, making a card hubby likes!) so I left it alone.  Oh apart from I added a sentiment to see what I think.

So here she is in nakedness:

Here's the glittery arty-farty:

And here's with a sentiment:

What ya think? With or without?

The photos really don't do either the snowflake or cardstock justice.  They truly shimmer and shine and even hubby said that it was a very glittery snowflake.

I used:

No stamp!  

It's OK I've taken my temperature and I'm not ill!!

Papers:

No hang on, maybe I am ill - there's no papers either!

Dies:

Ahhh - normal service resumes!

Nestie for the square

Memory Box - Bianca Snowflake

Anything else?

Glamour Dust - Martha Stewart Glitter and gem from my stuff

Craftwork Cards - sentiment

Can't promise when you'll see me again, but it will be before the end of the week, hopefully!!  By then maybe I'll have persuaded those darn kittens to leave the darn Christmas trees alone!

Oh and, I know, I'm behind with commenting - again!  Please bear with me, I will pop by your blogs as much as I can, it's just this is such a busy month.  Apologies in advance.

Going now,

Sarah
