Quick and simple christmas card

Hi all,

Just have a quick post for you today, as things a a bit hetic here due to shutting up shop this weekend. Have been taking down shevling, racking etc and bagging items up that havent sold yet. Car Boots here I come oh the joys!!!!.

This card is one of the few xmas cards I made a while back, very quick and easy to make as the the papers and topper were all free in a mag. This card is for Oli of Abbie, hence the reason for the cute charaters.


I made the card following this sketch challenge that I gave my ladies in class a while ago. Although I did flip it around.

Its a bit of a sad day today as I am supposed to be taking my car back to the garage I brought if off today, as due to the shop closing and not knowing when I will get a proper job I can no longer afford to keep it. I am extremely gutted as its my pride and joy and worked so hard to get it, but they are offering me a deal I cant turn down and settling my finance for me so hey ho!!!

So I wont be posting much next week as Im off on my hols, having a few days away from the stress of everything (before I have a breakdown!!!) but I have scheduled my posts for the WRS blog hop on Mon & MMCS challenge on Wed so please do pop back for those. Hubby will not allow me to take my lappie with me so am gonna be cut off from everything - dont think he realises I can get on here trhough my phone lol!!!

Anyway thanks for popping by my blog today, be back soon.

  2. Hi Lyndsey, I'm so sorry about the shop hun, there's so much competition from the big places, I know you must have worked your little socks off. A real shame about the car but hopefully you will get another dream machine very soon. I hope you have a really lovely time away, take it easy and enjoy, you really deserve it. Love the card BTW very cute image and a great LO.

    Hugs
