I hope the snow isn't too bad in your part of the world. We had another drop of the white stuff on Friday but nothing like the amounts in Scotland and Ireland.
I thought I'd better post something in case everyone thought I'd gone into hibernation for the winter. I wish!
I've not had the time nor energy to venture into my craft room for the past fortnight so in the absence of anything new to post I thought I'd show the card I made way back in September. It's a VERY simple card, no colouring at all and not what I would normally make. I made it to give to my hubby last Wednesday. It was the anniversary of when we first met, 20 years ago. Oh my goodness, that makes me feel so old!
Yep, very simples. The words are from Paper Makeup, and the DP is Memory Box and that's it!
My little Christmas candy's have now all finished. One lady has mentioned that she thought she had seen a photo of kit 2 when I first wrote about the candy's?
Yes indeed, I did have kit 2 earmarked for a candy but time is passing so quickly, so after the winner for No4 candy was picked I parcelled up the remaining hAnglar kit 2 and sent it off into blogland. I hope it will be a nice surprise for someone when they receive the parcel.
Thanks for looking and for any comments you may leave.
Love Elaine xx
An absolutely delightful card Elaine & I don't know what happened to the elusive 2010 either. There it was gone! What a lovely thoughtful thing to do with the hAnglar kit too. Perhaps we need another day like the one in the OT where the sun stood still for a bit .....
ReplyDeleteYou take care.

Fed up with the snow, it fell down yesterday and I was in my craftroom down the bottom of the garden!. Had to ring hubby to say I was getting worried I was going to get snowed in lol!
Anyway enough rambling and your card tonight is just beautiful and so are the words :o)
Congrats on your 20 years, We celebrated our 20th Wedding anniversary back in June, doesn't time just fly!

I love that sentiment Elaine, gorgeous. Hope you have a fabulous Christmas, be safe over the season.. no snow down here in Aus, but it's super cold for summer! Pants and Jumpers all round... and summer snot from the kids!
ReplyDeleteTake care ♥
This is really nice, I am not even sure of the exact date Joe and I met! Perhaps with time going by so fast you should check your kitties water bowl, might explain some things...
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card,hun. So lovely. Now, although I cannot claim to be organised any year...I have to agree with you that this year has just flown by. I am now in panic mode...and with the schools possibly closing tomorrow too then I think I will just give up, lol. I have also just realised that I forgot to order our Jack trousers from Next today - he needs them for Wed. What a nightmare. Maybe we could hibernate together, lol. Hope you have a fantastic Christmas, Elaine

I love the simplicity of this creation Elaine. Yep Christmas sneaked up on me too. But i'm getting there now, nearly ready.

Its quite scary how quick 2010 gone by, this time last year i was pregnant with my 4th boy and now he is 8 mths old and about to celebrate his 1st christmas.....ooooo cant wait to all my boys faces on christmas day lol
ReplyDeleteSorry for waffling!!
Your card is gorgeous sweetie and love the sentiment :o)
hugs and xxx
Hiya Elaine,
ReplyDeleteMissed you, was worried,yippeeee your back then Santa take you away on a sliegh now hee hee!
What a fab card!
How are you?
I think as crafters we all forget that the simple elements - that we do not need to colour are just as sweet & elegant as our coloured stamps!
I have a few Kanban kits & they are collecting dust as I think,I have to use stamps & colour all the time!
People are just as happy with a kit card - it's the personal touch they like.
The special part is the thought -
"It's the thought that counts"
Memo to self hee hee
Wishing you better health & lots of happiness in 2011!
Wishing you & your family (CATS TOO)
A very Merry Christmas & a Fantastic & Happy New Year!
Hope Santa good to you all!
Take care
Big Hugs

Beautiful card, very elegant. We have quite alot of the white stuff, and I was very thankful on thursday night (just arrived home from the UK), the plane landed, and within a very short time we had blizzard and it lasted for a couple of days. So all in all, I'm way behind on the shopping this year and it's very scary how quick christmas has come this year (it gets quicker every year!!!!)
ReplyDeletehugs
awww what a lovely heartfelt card - the wording says it all
ReplyDeletegood luck with the rest of your xmas shopping

Hi Elaine, so happy to see you are still out and about. I think I've finally got caught up on everything, I've given myself a deadline of Tuesday, then the rest of the time is for me to do what I want, when I want. I have managed to visit a few blogs today, I felt so bad for not visiting anyone and leaving comments. It's nice to see what everyone has been up too. Hope you are feeling better and that your cold has gone now. I still have the last few dregs of a cold but nothing serious...I'll make it through.
ReplyDeleteWe did all our Christmas shopping in Nov, the cards finally all got posted last week, food was all bought at the end of Nov...so I'm ready now for the Big Day.
Just wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year my friend.
hugs

Hi Chum I just love the wording to this Sentiment and what a beautiful card to give to your hubby, it is stunning the colour also is gorgeous, I have been popping back and forth myself as have been so busy making cards, me too so far behind this year but catching up now!! at last, ohhh!!! someone is going to get a wonderful surprise!! then with kit 2, you are truly {one in a million} Elaine this is a yet another act of kindness from that wonderful heart of yours chum, and yes I have never seen so much snow here in N Ireland in all my 52yrs!!! I don't like driving to work in it, well last Friday work was closed so had the day off whoohoo!!! here's hoping it's closed tomorrow also hehe' you take care chum.

Elaine,
ReplyDeleteLike you... I am astonished how the days are flying by. DH and I have been heads down working like crazy and yesterday, when I came up for a breath of air... I realized it was a week until Christmas. Let's see... no gifts wrapped (although they are almost all bought -- still waiting on the postman for the last two!). About a dozen cards and gift tags to make to tuck into those (hopefully) soon to be wrapped packages) No baking done... good grief... wonder if anyone will object to oreos and animal crackers?? House cleaned from top to bottom today, so that's one thing off the list, though it'll be a struggle to keep it clean for the next five days. And my in-laws are bringing Christmas dinner (I have only to contend with appetizers! Yay in-laws!)
Still.... lot of work due in this week... and the dog still needs walking, cats need loving and husbands need to be fed. If it's not too much bother, could we postpone Christmas for a week????
(hugs)
P.
Lovely card Elaine. You're not alone with the organisation this Christmas but then the weather hasn't helped....beginning to wish I'd ordered a turkey!!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for my candy I'm hoping to have a play once all my shopping, wrapping and baking is done and dusted!!
Have a cracking Christmas...xxx
Hi Elaine
ReplyDeleteWOW what a lovely lovely card, bet hubby loved it, what lovely words. You say simple, I say beautiful.
I'm like you I just don't know where this year has gone, Christmas has crept up so fast.I usually have the Christmas tree's & decs up long before now, I HAVE to go & buy a Christmas tree today (or Christmas will be over)lol. I need to put some Christmas songs on, to get me in the Christmas mood lol.
Hope you & your lovely family have a fantastic Christmas.
hugs

Beautiful card and sentiment Elaine, the paper is wonderful I love the windswept look the trees have, just like a relationship swaying in the wind but never breaking. (I know they are probably hanging branches turned around but I think you'll understand what I mean). Happy first meeting anniversary and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. :-) xx
ReplyDeleteLovely card Elaine! Hope you get all your things done despite the horrid cold and snow. have a great Christmastime! Hazel x
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine, I'm the same, one minute you have loads of time and the next only a week and loads of snow, opps! Must be more organised next year.
