Handmade Monday

Wow it's Monday again!  And November!  Groan.  Where did the months go?  A week after my Mum's clocks went back we did the same here in Michigan.  It is SO dark early today - yuck!  Whose bright idea was this?  My poor laptop crashed.  I am so sad :(  At least I have the old desktop to go on - not quite as comfy as my laptop.  I actually have to get up to use it lol.  The cat is not liking it!  He is used to sitting on my lap while I'm on the computer and while it's cold he puts his chin so the fan blows warm air on it!

I'm joining in Handmade Monday again this week.  Still working on cards.  I have some new ones to share.  I really have to start working on Mum's calendar. I keep saying that but still haven't started.

They were all quick and easy.  The top one I used some freebie card toppers from a Papercraft magazine.  I have now put greetings in all of my cards too.  I think I am about set.  I like the last one.  I went to Michaels the other day and found some present cards and then stamped the sentiment onto white cardstock, mounted it on a patterned paper and used some 3d tabs to make it pop.

Happy Guy Fawkes day to everyone tomorrow!

Handmade Monday

I'm joining in Handmade Monday over at Handmade Harbour

Got a couple more cards done.  I'm really moving on these Christmas cards.  I'm having fun with them too.  I do still have to put a greeting inside.  I like the look of the greeting when it stands out a bit too so think I will do them that way.

The next thing I have to work on is my Mum's calendar.  I have made one for her for years.  I could do it on the computer but imo there is nothing better than a handmade calender -  made with love!

I did make banana bread too - yummy!

Arrggg...

....is it Monday AGAIN?

Not so crafty Monday today.  I've got a touch of the crud that everyone else at work seems to have.  Hopefully - fingers crossed, touching wood and all that - it won't get any worse!

I did make a quicky card.  I like it.  I think I'll save it for when both daughter and I are having a rough time lol.  I did have quite a crafty weekend and now it's back to the trudge of the week.

I'm joining in Handmade Mondays again.  It's fun to see what everyone has been up to.  There are lots of very talented people out there!

More cards and Handmade Monday

I found this wonderful blog a while ago called Handmade Harbour and it has a wonderful day called Handmade Monday.  As I actually finished things this week I thought I'd join in the party - it looks like fun!

I made a couple more Christmas cards - it is October afterall lol.  I had fun making these.
