Is it to late for me to jon in this great place to be,
not sure how to follow but will give it a go,
the cards that I have seen so far are lovely
I really do need to use up some of my card making things

Here's my week one card, and I made a Christmas card using the same design - copied from a card I found on google images - both just used scraps
My 'new' thing was my sizzix banner die
Can I ask you experienced card makers - do you usually use ready made card blanks, or do you just use cardstock to make your cards ?
I enjoyed doing this. looking forward to tomorrows new prompt...

alison 2, what a great idea, and very nice cards as well, lovely

leigh - that's lovely, is it the Darice woodgrain folder? I have that one and love it! And your Pinterest inspired card is really pretty too.

Fiona - it's a really stylish start to the new year with that design. Fab!

Thanks Natty, yes I think it is the Darice one, I just got it at the weekend there

Ruth, we just all join in as and when we can. Some more than others

I have done my clean and simple one, will try and photograph it later and upload it. Going to use the same design and make a xmas one too

Thanks Nat My Mum needed a couple of New Year cards at very short notice, so I did them while she waited

Great cards everyone

The birthday greeting stamp you've used is one of my favourites Chris.

[Mystik Nat]

Great cards Chris.

[angelfish]

Here is my CAS birthday card, using a butterfly stamp and matching punch. The circles were leftover from another card and I had the sentiment stamps out for the Christmas card on the other thread. It sort of made itself

[simplyme]

Pretty card Fiona, don't you just love cards which make themselves?!

[angelfish]

Thanks Yes, they are my favourite kind

I don't have a permanent crafting area, so I quite like to use everything up, once I've got it out. Saves putting it away again!

Here's my simple for week 2.....

Lovely colour scheme Mary. Quite a retro look I think

[alison 2]

Here's mine. I'm putting its twin in the christmas thread
I'm loving this challenge, getting to use up my scraps, and I'm getting cards made in advance rather than a night before rush !
