When I was blog hopping I saw this card on Creating in Carolina Blog I knew I needed this file from Doodle Pantry , just as well I brought it as the EU is bringing in new rules and a lot of the sites I usually buy from will be unable to sell to people who live in the EU from 1st January 2015.  It has even caused some site to close their doors - stupid EU This card is just perfect for my friend I cut the SVG file on my Brother Scan N Cut I have added a little glitter but it doesnt show up very well on the photo The background paper is from a pack I brought in The Range last January in their sales I also used the same paper to make the envelope so it all matched This card is for the following challenges Simon Says - Anything Goes Thanks for Looking

I have made these hats on my Brother Scan N Cut using a wonder free cutting file from Bird Cards Blog She is so talented and shares her creations The words where also done by the Scan N Cut I made the red ones for most people but we have a team at work who did not want to put up any decorations so I thought the Bah Humbug hat worked for them.  I made 120 red ones and 20 black ones The white with the words and the bobble I have sprayed with glitter glue to give them sparkle  but my camera doesn't pick it up very well These are for the following challenges Christmas Cards All Year Round - no square or rectangle cards Tuesday Throwdown - Christmas Cute Card Thursday - Sparkles Craftyhazelnuts Christmas Challenge - Anything goes as long as its Christmas Thanks for looking

Just popping on to apologise for being such a bad bloggers.  A number of things have been against me but hopefully things are now improving You may remember last time I blogged I was off work with a chest infection To treat it the Doctors suggested a steroid based inhaler.   A few years ago I had steroid tablets and had a really bad effect to them,  causing me to suffer mental anxiety and panic. attacks I was assured as it was inhaler it would be ok! Needless to say I reacted to them and became an over-active blubbering idiot again. I have been off them for a few weeks and things are a lot better - a new inhaler has been issued that is non steroid based and Doctors think I have developed adult asthma, so as I pointed out to DH its official I am now an adult. I have been busy making some bits and bobs and will back later to share. Was pleased that all presents where brought and wrapped by the start of December, but then had a panic over my Christmas...
