As You Like It Challenge (DT) People or Critters
I knew something was amiss with this post, but didn't realise until 10 minutes ago that I hadn't actually drafted it. Huge apologies to Red Leader for being a nugget.
So, this AS YOU LIKE IT challenge is a choice - which is your favourite (and why)
People or Critters
Now I do like a critter on a card, they are just so darned cute, but I also love it when I can match a people image to a person, like this card for instance, it was made as a thank you card for the nurse practitioner and her colleagues at the hospital who have looked after my dad and his injury so brilliantly. Thanks to them and their care, we are hoping that this week might be his last appointment before he is discharged into the tender mercies of my mum and her dressing skills!
I've used the MFT Birdie Brown stamp set (and matching dies)
DCWV cardstock for the border punched layer, using a Martha Stewart punch

Our super sponsor this time is FANTASTIC RIBBONS

Dies To Die For (DT) Bundle Girl With Winter Branch
Hello peeps, and a happy weekend to you!
Dad continues to improve, he had another hospital visit yesterday, and they are pleased with how things are looking. He has two more visits scheduled but (keep your fingers crossed) if they go well and the wound is healing as it should, we are hoping he will be discharged into the care of the GP surgery. That will make life soooooooooo much easier for him.
Anyhoo, I've not made many Christmas cards yet this year, normally I would have started in June, so panic mode is setting in a little bit. There may have to be a flurry of snowflakes soon.
Lovely things used

I had to get my stamping platform out for the background stamp as it is a biggie, and I cannot get an even coverage just with an acrylic block. Himself reckons it is because I am too short to get enough pressure on it!!!
That's me done for today - I need to be doing battle with a gammon joint and a selection of winter vegetables.

As You Like It Challenge (DT) Not A Card
Hello all, welcome to Thursday and another new challenge theme from
This time around it's a non-card project
If I'm not papercrafting, I'm playing with woolly balls - very much a beginner at crochet, and most definitely not the quickest hooker in the world, but it keeps my hands busy while I'm watching tv and it's possible someone will get something warm at the end of it. This one is for me, very much a work in progress, an oversized wrap. Four balls in, four to go.
and a very simple V-stitch - TR1 CH1 TR1
Looking forward to seeing your projects

Strike Up The Band (DT) Dies To Die For
Hello peeps, it's the weekend again, hurrah!
Before we get to today's card, thank you for all your well wishes for dad. We went back to the hospital on Wednesday for a wound check and dressing change. The nurse practitioner was a little concerned about some blistering of the skin that was torn in his fall, but after some thought she decided to take the steri-strips off. Poor dad. He has hairy arms. They aren't quite so hairy now. Anyhoo, long story short, the hospital are "cautiously optimistic" that healing is underway (it's going to take months) and redressed it with a lighter dressing. He goes back again on Monday for another check.
So, to crafting. The inspiration for today's card was actually a commission - a dear friend requested a card for her brother-in-law who is a musician. Well, there was only one stamp set that I could possibly use for that!
I adore these bunnies, they make me happy
Ingredients
Red card from own stash
The backing paper was just stripes, so I randomly over-stamped with the musical phrase accessory stamp from the Band set.
Bunny Band has been painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers).
Hugs
