 Hi all

Sunday again and I have had a busy week crafting.

I have joined afew collaborations for December so busy with those.

Also, getting all my Christmas gifts for my groups sorted out, cards written and getting organised.

Anyway, here is this weeks challenge card for my Craft Group.

This is a topper from LOTV

Sketch to follow

*************

This is the card I made for my Groovi Group on Tuesday.

A theme of Flowers & Frames.

.

The flowers are punched and the leaves are a Clarity Die and a Groovi plate, and obviously the frame and sentiment are Groovi plates.

I have also started baking my own bread and here is some delicious spicy squash soup with a couple of slices from my homebaked baguette.

Do any of you bake your own bread?

**************

This is a pic of the sky yesterday morning when I took Rico for a walk at about 7.40am

Isn't it beautiful? I love it when the trees are in silhouette.

Crochet

 Hi

Here is another Crochet shawl I have completed for the charity.

Beautiful, soft, white yarn I bought from the pound shop in the UK.

I prefer to work in rounds instead of back and forth as I never know how much yarn I may have to compkete some projects.  It may turn  out as a Pram blanket or a Shawl if I have enough .

This pattern is from Alison Russell HERE and I didn't even have to do a border as that is how it ends, perfect.

The challenge I set the Craft Group on Friday was

Animals

Here is afew cards I made to show them.

I do make alot of animal cards as I give alot to the animal charity

Not A Card

 Hi

Well, I have got over my 2nd cataract surgery and now have to wait for the all clear then able to get new glasses.  I'm making do with an old pair at present as my current prescription  is no good.

I released a You Tube video last week, a collaboration I  participated in with Rach & Bella crafts

There are discounts on her shop for the month of November with some lovely papers and kits.

I made some Christmas Tags with  a window.

The pocket could be used for a gift card too.

Here is the video.

Sunday

 Hi Everyone

Sunday is the day I show the challenge I set for my Craft Group.

Although we didn't have a meet at the shop but instead, we went for a meal for one of the ladies Birthday.

I still give them a challenge as I show it on my Facebook page too.

This week it is

Dogs

Here are my two cards.

This one using my scraps as shown in a previous post.

I  have been busy this week making Christmas cards, both for my own use and two boxes to go in my hairdressers and beauty shops.

Hopefully they will sell afew so that I can give much needed funds to the charities.

Not A Card

 Hi

Today I have a Mini Envelope Bellyband for one of my Junk Journals.

3 Little envelopes with a strip over to keep them closed and the strip holds with a mini magnet.

Here's one in a journal.

I added a little dangle charm at the bottom.

Here's one I added to another Journal

I have a You Tube video on making these.

It's fun making the mini envelopes too as these can be added to the front of a card to hole a secret message.

Backgrounds from Scraps

 Hi

We all end up with lots of scraps of card and paper.

This is one way I use my strips of card.

To make backgrounds for my cards

You will see alot of these being used in future posts.

I know its Not a Card Wednesday but this is what one looks like using that style of background

How do you use your scraps?

I would love to know.

 Hi Everyone

Hope you are all having a good weekend.

The challenge I set the Craft Group on Friday was a little bit different

A foreign country or landmark

I had these images and used them on a variety of cards and though it would make an interesting challenge.

I did give out the images but as a couple of the ladies weren't able to make it on Friday,

 I gave them the Anything Goes option too.

Well my crafting mojo has definitely  returned, I want to stay in my Craft room for ever!!

Christmas is in the Air in there and getting started on my cards and gift bags.
