Two weeks ago, when I wasn't feeling well, I sat in my orthopaedic recliner and cut out decoupage to my hearts content, find it very relaxing, especially when life is stressful, which is often! Then I layered it all up and coloured lots of digi stamp images but that was a s far as my crafting went, they just sat next to my chair until yesterday morning. I had a restless night and woke at 3am, tried to get back to sleep but gave up at 5am and felt like crafting, so I got out all the toppers I'd made and sat and crafted in the early hours when there was no sound except the birds singing their little hearts out, they had started at 4am, wasn't so thrilled to hear them at that time though.
I used different sizes and styles of card blanks, glitter card, mirror card, embossed card, patterned papers, sentiments, DST and 3D foam and here they are:
having major problems with my pictures and edit in windows 8, asked for one image it put all images I'd uploaded, and many in their wrong orientation, so sorry.
the first 8 are the Christmas cards that I made yesterday. then ladybug card sent to a DC forum member to help raise funds for a zoo that had a bad fire, the last 4 Christmas cards were made last week, again when I couldn't sleep in the early hours.
Great set of cards Fi. I know what it is like to be wide awake at some ungodly hour. xxx
