Some VERY quick cards!

I Managed to complete all 6 of these in less that 4 hours!

I love the texture this linen card gives, even more so with Koh I Noors! {As I have mentioned before!} I have added a little 'something' to each card, from glitter to glossy accents to make them a bit more special!

This one is my fav by far!













I am hoping to get some more christmas cards done today - I bought some cute little 3x3 card blanks which I am going to use! So watch this space!

This was a request made by one of my old family friends Dawn, who, sadly, on July 8th 2010 lost her baby Jessica.

Right, I need to get motivated!

I havent blogged for a while *SLAPS WRIST!* and I havent really been in the mood for card making... So if anyone see's my bug whilst on your travels, can you kick it back home please?

I am going to have a little sort out of my craft room to see I can find it up there...

Anyway, I have been crafting still though - I set up a facebook page for Katies Creations and have since then had 10 orders for monkeys so thats what has been keeping me busy! I sat there yesterday and stuff 10 tails so my finger is a bit sore today lol

I have also been given this lovely award from two of my lovely blogger buddies!



So a big THANK YOU to Wendy and Lou

Rules state that I have to pass it on to 10 people, but I cant choose from you all, so please help yourself to it :)
