Yippee!



Alex has given me one of my birthday presents early - He has bought me this bright purple sewing machine from John Lewis! It has 10 different stitches too! :) I plan to use it for making my sock monkeys and for stitching on my cards (If I can work out how to use it lol).

I had an interview today, for a better paid job, still within NCC, and I think it went OK, but I could have done better.. Will find out on Monday so keep everything crossed for me til then!

I have been sat in my craft room since getting back from Asda this morning, and have finished off loads of cards, which of course I am truely happy about! I am going to post the challenge cards individually so hopefully wont make this post too photo heavy!

Anyway, this card is what I made last weekend when I entered the Pear Tree Designs DT challenge..



I used some die cuts from MME, the papers are also MME. Stuck a bit of glitter on the spider web to make it a bit prettier (How can a spider be pretty *shivers!* lol).. This is for my Brother for haloween. I dont normally do haloween, but loved these die cuts, I just had to have em!

Next, I have made a start on my chr*stmas cards! Sorry for swearing, but you know how us crafters like to get things done early!
