My Crafty Heart DT card

Hello, hope you are all good. I've been doing this post since Sunday morning but haven't felt like it. I've got an infection in my tooth and have been in agony since Saturday. Typical! I've waited for the hols, as I have lots of things planned to do and then I get poorly last week and now this week my pie hole is giving me jip. Thankfully I've now got some anti biotics and an appointment with the dentist.

Enough of my moaning, here's a card I made with some scrummy goodies from My Crafty Heart

I used: Saturated Canary Balloon Wishes

A little Upcycling

Good Morning! Hope you are all ok. Looks like it's going to be another lovely day again. :o)

I decided whilst I'm off work I would make a start on cards for Christmas. I always have loads to make, for myself and orders and usually end up chasing my tail trying to get them all done. So I'm going to try and make at least 2 a week (hopefully).

I found a box of mini cards when we cleared out the loft recently and decided to save them for tags. They are so cute, so I had a go at a little Upcycling and made one into a card. Nice & quick, just what you need when you have lots to do. :o)

I also used : Cuttlebug Emb folder
