It's that time again to show off our spaces this week at WOYWW. I've been working on more Christmas cards to get my total up there I'm up to 70 so far 10 of them are going off to a Caring Hearts card drive and they are just waiting to be signed and popped into the post which I plan on doing shortly. So I've been using non-traditional papers for Christmas Cards just to try and burn through my stash of papers. There are some paint chips that we where going to thinking of painting our pantry but it ended up being a deeper heritage colour choice instead so I plan on cutting these up with some dies to have some bold bright colour die cuts. Made a couple fancy felt owl bookmarks up there on my shelf great use of scraps and that's about it at the moment. Colouring more images for DT and myself the tall snowman will be in Limited Runs shortly he had to pass the colouring up test to see if I missed anything. Just have to create some more images to go with him. Thats about all I'm up to time to do some desk surfing I've managed to follow a lot of people who play on WOYWW so I can pop in ahead of the post time :)
Here are the bookmarks up close using up Odds and Ends that I haven't used or have had for along time.

ReplyDeleteWell done Nikki for making so many cards . Your putting me to shame I've only made 4 so far. Happy woyww jill #29
ReplyDeleteI've been making them slowly through out the whole year
DeleteGreat idea to make a steady supply of cards and I love the idea of using the paint colour strips. I haven't even thought about Xmas!!! November seems to be the month to spur me on (I hope?).

Wow! 70 Christmas cards done, I've got 6 and a half so far. I love your bookmarks, what a great way to use up your scraps. Your craft desk is so tidy and organised, mine little table is more organized chaos :-). Debra x
ReplyDeleteHi Nikki, you are cetainly beating me on the card front but I am ahead of my usual self so might just get there.
ReplyDeleteThe book marks are gorgeous, might just pinch that idea. Thanks for the visit and happy crafting, Angela x 41
Did I read that's all you've been up to?!?!?! By my reckoning, you've been crafting up a regular storm there! It all sounds lovely. Hugs and a happy week, Chris # 3

I can't believe you've made so many cards. I love the colours on the paint samples, they will make some awesome cards. Those bookmarks are just gorgeous. I love the way you used up little bits n bobs on the tassels.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,

Great bookmarks! Thanks so much for participating in our Party Time Tuesday Anything Goes Challenge.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how long it's been since I've been by. Seems like forever. I love the new to me storage units you have created, and those book marks are over the top gorgeous. You know how much I love anything recycled.
ReplyDeleteSorry I've been so long getting here, but I've had internet issues since Wednesday morning. Happy belated WOYWW from #2.
