Let it Snow

Yes the snow has arrived in the region of Manchester and if you ask me and Mum we think it totally sucks. Though as lovely as it looks I do wish it would go away, and thats just after 2 days of it!

Any way yesterday was Tuesday which means craft day, as mum had't attended the last two sessions it was wonderful to have her back with me this week so we could team up and create a card. We decided to make one using the projects we had put together a while ago, it will hopefully be the first of many once we get our butts in gear and do less arguing over what we should put where.


The black, white and red colour theme was so lovely to work with, even if we had been the worlds worst crafter I think with these monotone papers from Kanban I still think it would have looked fab! When we put the project together we decided we would look through the old embellishments we had purchased when we first started to craft that kept getting pushed further and further to the bottom of the pile. When we finally reached the bottom of the pile there was this chipboard flower, with button center, and that was it. It was like the papers were made for our flower which was bought that long ago neither of us remember where it was from.

Tilda is coloured with Promarkers, mum was in charge of this while I was cutting the papers to size. So as you well know mum doesn't like to write the colours she uses down. When will she learn? The answer is I have now given up trying to drill it in to her she has to note down which Promarkers she uses.

The card is finished with a bright red fabric 'Happy Birthday' though again we have had this for that long I couldn't even attempt a guess at where its from. The red bow is made from thin red ribbon which we got for about 50p from the Habberdashery stall on Ashton Market.
