Pages

When you make a conscious choice to be happy, no one can take it away from you because no one gave it to you: you gave it to yourself.

1st Christmas cards & some Smash!

Good afternoon everyone!

I'm sat here with no Bristol Rovers to listen to due to the snow in Bradford so I thought I'd start my Christmas cards!

Every year I say I want to try and make such and such cards, that I want to make certain styles etc and like normal I never do. I spend October & November rushing to make cards. But last year I let myself off, I only  made cards for family, close friends and crafty friends, the rest I bought. I'll probably do the same this year. Harsh, but to be honest it's too much for me now. I give nearly a 100 cards after all!

So my 1st cards - 


This is a Mo Manning image that just makes me smile, I love her! I thought why not colour her and make it a Christmas card so I did. Reckon I'll do some more like this but in different colours.


This is a Saturated Canary image that is perfect for winter card. The sentiment is an old one I have in my stash.



So one quirky and one more normal. But both fab I think!

I've kept up with my Project 2013 well, last week I had a lot to journal, things I wanted to include so a whole page was writing!




As you can see I've added photos from our match sponsorship game at Rovers, plus the tickets and passes we had. The sheet in the pocket is the team sheet we were given on the day.

Right I best stop otherwise this post will be so long. I've just taken lots of photos of pages in Keagan's baby book but I'll share them another day!

Take care Zo xx

Hello Zoe, hope you are well wrapped up and cosy.
Lovely cards, I have to get my 2 Christmas cards done for March this week. I am trying to do 2 per month and will do some extras nearer the time.
Love the smash book pages.

I started well with Xmas cards - 3 made in January, but then none since! I have finished making Easter cards - and even have my Fathers Day card done already - so perhaps next week I will get going with Xmas again? Lovely images and colouring. Ali x

Just because it's you, I'll forgive such an early mention of bleedin' Christmas! Love the cards, it's good to see a different style for the C-word. Looking forward to seeing you Tuesday, TC xxx
