Pocket full of kryptonite


Alas dear readers as with all heroes there must be villains and as it must go too for crafty goodness there is the male card making kryptonite - meh!  It is my true weakness and I must try harder at enjoying my masculine side - but I think it would be easier to not shave my legs for a fortnight to achieve this LOL!  This is perhaps why my card today looks a lot a bit like my other card here - oh well they are for different people hee!

We are family


Morning all! are you back in the swing of things yet?  I always find it takes me a bit to get back to the old routine.  Happily though this little set helped me get my mojo back and I have to say they are a little 'busy' compared to my usual style but the Auntie it is destined for will enjoy them (hopefully).  In the little baggie is a matching bookmark with crochet trim tails (tucked away for posting) using gorgeous new papers and dies.

I will be happily entering it over at cupcake craft (something new).  Have a great day & see you soon x
