Morning all! What horrible weather we're having at the moment - all the more excuse for staying inside and playing!!
As I mentioned in my last comment on my blog - Jilll (Cardinal Colours) and I decided we wouldn't do the card class next week - although we had initial interest I reckon it was too near Christmas and too short notice and people had to drop out.. Maybe next year! Bit of a shame cos Jill had ordered lots of stuff for the class but she hopes she can sell it anyway. Anyway gives me a chance to practice a bit more!!
I mentioned earlier that it was my granddaughter, Emily's, birthday on Halloween and I had made her a 'book' card. Stupidly I forgot to take a picture of it so my daughter brought the card back so I could take pictures. Rather than bore you all with every single page just thought you'd like to see the front spelling out her name. I used the Funky Word Books CD (http://www.funkyhandcom/) for the basic letter shapes but the colours didn't fit into Halloween so I traced the shapes onto black card stock and then onto the paper stock! Bit of a labour of love. All the other pages were covered front and back with halloween papers and rub-ons. I used Basic Grey Eerie for all the papers and the rub-ons were also Basic Grey. I also used the Bazzil Basics Cardstock strips Halloween. The ribbons were from my stash.

I have also made this Christmas card from the Cute Companions Winter Tale CD - very simple but I think very effective.

Have a nice rest of the weekend (weather permitting!). Byee xx
