Get me! Blogging twice in two days!
To be honest, I wasn't expecting to have time to do much more this week but my other half's surgery was put off by a day so I've had to have an extra day off to hubby sit. He's fine, but I wasn't supposed to leave him for 24 hours after his operation. Well, my craft room is in the same house! I don't really think he needed me to actually hold his hand or anything.
So, what to do with an unexpected day off. Maybe I should join another challenge. It's a bit of a luxury as I don't always get time. I follow lots of challenges on Bloglovin. It's an easy way to see lots of inspiration. Anyway, this morning had a challenge from Passion for Promarkers and this week it's being sponsored by one of my favourite digistamp shops. I couldn't resist. I am a huge fan of the Digistamp Boutique and I happened to have some of their stamps printed out ready to go. The challenge doesn't need you to use one of their stamps but it just seemed a good excuse so I used one from the Cute Robin Chicklets Set. I used a mixture of Tria Markers and Promarkers and used non traditional Christmas colours. The challenge was to use lots of layers and here is what I came up with.
I layered two co-ordinating papers (sorry, I never remember where my papers come from) and stuck another panel from the same set where I wanted to put my robin. I added some hand stitching and layered two lots of ribbon before sticking it to my card blank. I finished it off by layering gemstones onto snowflakes. I hope you like it.
Thanks for reading.

Sorry it's late
It doesn't matter how often I promise myself I will blog more often and I will upload my cards to my Facebook Page I just can't seem to keep on top of it. Anyway, this week I've made a couple of cards to echo my feelings on this. The first one I coloured the image for and then couldn't make work how I wanted it, so I left it. Anyway, inspiration has now struck and I've simplified it. I like it much better than the fussy layout I originally had planned.
My second card I want to enter in this weeks Simply Less is More Challenge . This week's theme is masculine, which usually fills me with dread. However, I already had an image printed out (I think it's from Doodle Pantry) and a card in mind. I don't know why but the sentiment wouldn't leave my head so I just went for it. I hope no-one is offended.
When I've looked at them both I have realised that they both fit the male/CAS idea so I will enter the challenge.
Thanks for reading.
