May Review...


Happy Christmas Eve,

Today will find me making my first ever attempt at a home made pork pie as This is the Christmas challenge round at Mr Next Door's family for Christmas day!  I am hoping that next year it will be a handmade Christmas card challenge then I might be in with a chance lol.

Back to May's choice...

Another Californian background card which seemed to dominate this period, this time in my all time favourite of Ginger foundation card.

For the original post please cloak HERE








A creation in pink, a colour I clam to rarely use but during the review for these posts I've found loads!  This is quite useful as my January show on C&C is quite pink based, the show is now on the Sunday 4th at 12 and 3 so hopefully you can tune in!









Finally for May a card in blue, another favourite colour, from the men's card week I ran in may.  This was my first go at using a mask to create a background.  


Enjoy...

    Hi John. Wonderful cards today. I love the blue one, it's perfect for the men. I will be thinking of you making your pork pie. ( I have only ever made one, and that was at school many moons ago! I do remember that my Dad loved it) Good luck with yours : ) Take care.

    Lovely card choice again. Good luck with the pork pie, I have never tried that. My "thing" at the moment is sourdough bread. Perhaps your recipe book should be your next project...blog followers favourites!!
    Have a good Christmas Eve
