In our family we celebrate quite a few birthdays in December As I have been so busy I forgot to take pictures of all of them! This one I have made for my nephew who will be celebrating his  Birthday and Christmas in Ireland with his dad this year. Hopefully this card will arrive there safe and sound. He is quite a party animal and this image from Crafts U Print made me think of him He says when he hits 30 he will calm down!! I used the pre-coloured image and added the sentiment which I did in word These were then matted onto a few scraps of green and red that I had left over from my Christmas Card and Vouchers in the previous posts The background is a piece of foiled card that was simply stuck down Quick and easy but hopefully effective.

Firstly a BIG thank you for everyone that sponsored my daughter and me in our  Walking home for Christmas Challenge We walked 23.5 miles home from work on Thursday and did it in 8hrs 21min So far we have raised £930 for the Walking with the Wounded and Help for Heroes ,  there is still time to donate if you wanted HERE As I have now given out all my Christmas cards I thought I would share with you the ones I made this year, about 65 in total. For my bulk cards I like to go with a simple design that I can make quite quickly. This year I decided to use some lovely pre-coloured images from Bugaboo I printed them all out and then cut them into squares, whilst they were printing I also cut some red glitter card in some slightly larger squares. I used my printer to put the pre-scored square cards through to print the verse inside and the sentiment on the outside Then it was simply a  case of sticking them all together, writing them and ...

Sorry for a lack of posts at the moment but we have been practicing our walking skills! Me and my daughter Jenny are taking part in Walking Home For Christmas.  We are walking home from Canterbury to Hamstreet on 20 December 2018 a distance of 23.5 miles.  So that we can finish before midnight (hopefully). By taking part in the #WalkingHomeForChristmas campaign, I'm giving hope to veterans and their families who are struggling this Christmas by supporting programmes run by Walking With The Wounded and Help for Heroes which tackle key issues such as mental health and unemployment. This a cause that is very close to my heart having been a civilian in the REME and having family and friends who have needed help since leaving the services.   Any donation is a good donation, so head to:   http://www.walkinghomeforchristmas.com/users/nicky-godden   and send any spare change my way! If everyone could afford just 10p it would make a big difference...
