Hard to say exactly, I started it Monday morning and had finished all but the assembling by afternoon Tuesday but I had worked until 11pm Monday evening. I did finish, or get that far, way before anyone else.

This is a card made using polychromos pencils.

A birthday card for a little cousin

Nice one Jane. Very cute!
I bin knittin'

WOW Ren, love that cardi! It looks quite a complicated pattern though!

Love your cupcakes, Jane, bet your niece did too!

And Sue, as usual, those cards are amazing! Such detailed work and great colouring!

Makes my two cards from last night look really simple:



The other one is here.

The only decoration is made with scrap tape, I love that masking tape stuff, and it comes in such a wide variety of patterns and colours, is ready to stick so no mess ... I'm pretty addicted these days.

Nice cardi Sara.

I like your cards Toni, I just can't work out how do do fairly simple cards, I really ought to try some less is more cards.

That is very cute Jane, and yummy looking!

Look what arrived in the mail for me from JaneMarple



And this card was from Tellywellies and his wife Lynda. Lynda is to blame for me spending a small fortune in the past six years!

Happy Birthday, Sue!

Just glad it arrived safe! A very Happy Birthday (Again!)

I am showing this card, just one of the many Christmas cards that I have made so far this year, this one is to be sold by the Salvation Army to raise funds, as I used some dies sent to me by Copago for my birthday.

I used the second largest to cut the picture and the largest to cut some red to go behind it, then cut four smaller shapes to form a large diamond on which to stick the smaller image.

I really must clean my scanner bed, there are no smudges on the card.

My cousin is opening a restaurant soon, so we've been busy creating some "Good luck" gifts!

A simple wooden spoon with paper clipart and ribbon Also a teddy chef fridge magnet. I shall show some cards in the week

How lovely Jane.

That's a lovely really Christmassy card, Sue

Just a card made with clip art and odds and ends of paper

Very nice it looks too Jane.

Everything looks great. Sue, your Christmas cards look professionally made, just wonderful. Jane, I love the wooden spoon

Yesterday I was involved in somewhat different craftiness, as I joined about twenty others to prepare hanging baskets to decorate downtown for the Christmas season. We made 120 of these in just under three hours. This is one of my efforts.

Very festive Liz.

Jane, love your cards and the cute spoon deco! Sue, as always, a fabby card, and liz WOW! 120 of those? Bet they look fantastic in situ too! Will you be able to photograph them for us?

Here's a page I put together tonight:

Ooh, I like that Santana!

I should be able to take some photos of the baskets once they are on display, yes. I won't be able to recognize my own though, I'm sure.

Great, Liz,I look forward to seeing them all!

I saw something like this in an expensive shop which sells handmade cards and it cost £5.99 so I thought that I would make something similar which cost me about 40 pence.

That looks fantastic, Sue!

I love all the cards and crafts!

A card for my niece's partner, on his birthday

Great creations!
Haven't had time to do much here but am starting to get Christmas cards ready .. probably a bit behind the gun but will get there.

What's everyone doing for Christmas cards or crafts?

I finished all my Christmas cards ages ago, all written, envelopes labelled and stamps applied!

At the moment I am still making some for the Salvation Army in Wales to sell, I send parcels of cards to them for fundraising. I have sent one box and will post off another in the next couple of days as they have their sale on Saturday.
