Good morning all.
Yesterday started out lazy with a lie in to catch up on some missed sleep then I eventually got my butt into gear and sorted out the top shelf in my craft room. This houses my printer paper, 8x8 card blanks and envelopes, small sewing machine and dozens of empty boxes of all shapes and sizes just waiting to be re-purposed!! I threw out a few bits and tidied up the rest (fed up of them all raining down on me every time I try to get something down!) then I had a basket of bits which hadn't made their way through the door yet and found space for those too, so managed to tidy the hallway just outside my room into the bargain.
Last night I made a start on the sewing box makeover so watch this space.

Another contemporary Christmas card to share today which was inspired by this card at Simon says Stamp. I really need to get a grip with my specials for this year as I don't have nearly enough....can see hubby and kids getting last years recycled again, I even found their envelopes when tidying today!
I made a stencil with a triangle die from Spellbinders and used DI to make my rainbow trees. Border die is from Memory Box, Sentiment from Spellbinders, a recent magazine freebie.
