Christmas Card Club - Anything but a Card

Morning bloggers,
How are you all this morning...some not very happy from what I have been reading with new Blogger!! 
It was a bit of a shock when mine changed the other night but I think I quite like it.  One thing that I really like is the new look reading list, I think it is a lot easier to see what everyone has been up to.  Yes it took a little bit of time to find a few things but I think I must be in the minority of people who like it!

Sorry I haven't been around over the weekend but just didn't feel like blogging.  I went to get my hair done on Saturday at Mum and Dad's and we had a lovely day.  We also got talking and reminiscing about when we were in California.....I was 10......hmmm quite a while ago then. Mum writes a diary everyday and has done pretty much since 1978and she leant me the diaries that she had kept for the two years we were over there so I have spent my weekend back in the lates 70's early 80's........

Anyway back to the Christmas Card Club, this is a group of us who make a crad every couple of weeks just for fun.  Check out what everyone came up with as they are listed on my sidebar  the lovely Clare challenged us to make Anything but a Card.... I used one of my favourite Forever Friends Christmas Stamps and made a picture.  Sorry for the poor photography......don't look too closely as you will see my reflection!!!
The image is coloured on Kraft with Polychromo and Prisma pencils. Paper from stash. Frame - Papermania.

Well thats all from me today.
I will be back tomorrow with another challenge at Ladybug Crafts Ink.
Hello to Shari my latest follower...glad you have joined me :)
Have a good day.

Can you believe that this little cutie has only just seen the ink?!   I can't believe that I have neglected him for so long.  I think you will be seeing him again.

Easter Bunny......First card coloured on Kraft card

Its looking dull here this morning.  I am hoping that it brightens up just a little bit as I have tidying and sorting of the garage with a few trips to the tip planned.  Mike is off today so I am going to make the most of him being around!! Hmmmm going to the tip on a Bank Holiday weekend is probably not the most sensible plan but it has to be done!

This is a card that I made for my best friend Robyn and her husband.
It is the first time I have coloured an image on Kraft and I have to say I coloured a couple more images yesterday so you will be seeing quite a lot more I think.  I found that the pencils blended really easily into the cardstock.

The image is from Forever Friends Springtime set along with the sentiment.
Seam binding, twine and button from stash.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges
