Not enough hours in the day!!!!!!!!

BUSY , BUSY,  BUSY
I have 19 birthday cards, 5 anniversary cards, a sorry your leaving card and a Golden Wedding Anniversary scrapbook album to make, 23 of which are for the same person.  Do not know what to do first,  not to mention because there are such a wide variety of occasions it will require half  the contents of my craft room in one go. Think people you may be getting shop brought Chrimbo cards this year as there are just not enough hours in the day LOL!!!!!
Not sure I would get away with that these days my friends and family would think that they had really upset me. So I guess will just do the cards that are for the earliest occasions first and work my way through the list then try to squeeze in a couple of Christmas cards here and there. Situation is not helped much when you think you have ticked one off the list then a friend takes a liking to a card meant for someone else and now its back on the list LOL!!! Seing as you are such a very good friend and customer you are forgiven.
Well best get back to making the cards think food will be off the menu today cooking will take away from precious crafty time-oh well have to make do with cake and chocolate, what a shame!!!!!!!!!!

Really good  week long craft event coming up on Create and Craft to celebrate 4 years of My Craft Studio

My latest creations

Below are the latest cards that I have been commissioned to make. The first card had to be for a man who loved everything technical. I think using a glaze pen and some peel offs has really brought the Ipod and I phone to life. The 2 Hello Kitty cards were really great to make as the gave me the chance to get out my Promarkers and act like a kid colouring in. After a large amount of time spent colouring I then set to work with ultrafine irradescent glitter, gorgeous glitter flowers,  ribbon bows and gemstones.

 This is the inside of the Hello Kitty card above which has been made to perfectly match-greeting says Just for you on your special day

 This is the inside of the Hello Kitty card above which has been designed to co-ordinate perfectly with the front of the card
