Last Christmas card I promise

Hello Fellow groovers,
Well this is it the last Christmas card I will post I promise, I still have loads to make which I really hope I will get finished by the end of next week well ish.
The christmas before last I made all of my cards and apart from my mum I didn't really get any comments about them. So last year to take the pressure off I decided to just make a couple of close friends and family.
I had a lot of my friends complain they didn't get a hand made card so my list of makes has grown again this year, and if I am honest I have been in denial about how much time I have got to make them.
So I will post this one then get into crafting mode.
I hope you like it.....

The Stamps I used are:Tilda with snowheart
Paula Pascual Christmas Carol
The paper is from my stash I dont know the name sorry :(
Martha Stewart Doily lace punch
Distress Ink Spun Sugar

The copics I used are
Pinks:R85, R83, R81, RV10

Guess what another double easel.......

Hello Fellow groovers,
I'm back.....
I have had a fab couple of weeks, in short, a great long weekend away with a friend in a caravan and we caught the beginning of the fab weather which was just brilliant.
Then my Mum and her partner came to stay to help me with household chores, my shed has a new roof, my fence has been painted and my attic has been boarded out, so loads of ticks on my list of things to do.
And finally last weekend I spent Saturday at Ally Pally at the Knit and stitch show, where a couple of little bargain's slipped into my possession, and spent the rest of the weekend at a friends in London.
So no time for crafting booooooo......
However its catch up time, I have a couple of cards I haven't posted yet so to get back into the swing of things, here is a card I made for a friends birthday she is a mad tennis fan and her partner is a fanatical gardener who has declared war on snails, I hope you like it......

The Stamps I have used are:root cellar door
Doohickey: Lovely Fence
Paper: Kaiser Craft Cosy Cottage
Bo Bunny Coffee Journal
Copics:
Browns: E44,E43,E42,E41,E40,E59,E57E55
Grey: W5,W3,W1,W0
Blue green:BG78,BG75,BG72,BG70, BG0000
