On to today's cards. You may remember I was having a festive panic the other day because I am so behind with making my Christmas cards. There was nothing for it but a mass-producing session (something I hate doing, my boredom threshold is low at the best of times, and repetitive work just drives me nuts).

So I stamped a few of these cute little birds, it was a random unmounted stamp that I found lying around, so I haven't a clue who makes it. Out came the nestabilities to cut some circles and scallop circles, a quick bit of colouring, a pom pom, a bit of glitter, and hey presto, another 6 cards done

Promarkers used:

Caramel, tan and sandstone, primrose and lipstick red. Ice grey for shadows

Then out came this little snowman by Sparkle and Sprinkle. Same idea, voila, another 6 cards.

Promarkers used:

Pastel blue, denim blue, lipstick red, ice grey 1 & 2, tan

So then I counted how many cards I had, hmmm, still woefully short, so

I went out and bought two boxes of ready made cards. Shock horror.

Looking at my list, which includes people I haven't seen for years, old school friends and so on, I realised that most of them don't even know that I make cards, so now I have two lists, friends who know about my paper passion and would be insulted to get a shop bought card from me, and those who fall into the category of "oh, she's still around then" when they open the envelope. Problem solved.
