A couple of Christmas cards with my favourite stamp this year, Silly Reindeer by Rubber Soul. I got him from Sir Stampalot .

I bought this and a couple of Hero Arts stamps for this year's cards, but have struggled with the Hero Arts ones because really they need colouring in and I have reluctantly reached the view that I just can't colour in stamped images right. They look rubbish whatever I do, and I get really frustrated, so I think I am best avoiding them from now on.

This is a quick one using my cricut (Christmas Cheer).

I made this card using the Christmas Cheer cartridge on my cricut. I hadn't realised there was a card and envelope option on there. It cuts a fab scalloped edge to the card, however due to my superior photographic skills you can't see it.

I do like my Cricut but it takes me ages to make anything. I made two of these and it took one and a half hours. I mean, look at it, it's not exactly rocket science is it?

I have one of those DIY calendars, so I made this to go on it for December. I was hugely excited by it at the start of the year, and my excitement last well into February. But it has hung there, blankly staring back at me for most of the following months. I thought I should make a bit of an effort for the last month. Again, it was cut using Christmas cheer. Again, it took me flippin ages.

Birthday card for my lovely F-i-L (am I the only person who adores my in-laws? They are top people!). He is having a party tonight. I probably won't go cos my two year old is poorly and apparently the law says you're not allowed to leave them home alone at that age or something.

The papers are Bazzill and the DCWV retro stack. The letters are cut using the Cricut Mini Monograms cart. Jackie very kindly lent it to me about 6 weeks ago. I am embarrassed to say that last night was the first time I had it out of the box. I really liked it though, and I didn't have the cutting problems that I've read about so it may be one for the Christmas list. I'll get it back to you very soon luvvy, promise.

Made proper grown-up scrapper purchase yesterday, the October kit from It Kit studio. Heh heh, actually Reader (Warning: weak pun approaching), let's hope that when it arrives it is an "It" Kit, and not, heh heh, a "Sh*t" Kit!!!

Actually, no, what am I saying? If it turns up and it's rubbish that won't be funny at all, that'll be thirty quid down the drain.

ETA : kit arrived - fantastic stuff, needn't have worried. Thanks Kelly!!
