Hello friends
Today's card is a quite a little card but packed with some interesting dies.
I used Labels Twenty Two to create the aperture from cream cardstock.
I then created the centre piece from Holly Motifs but nippped off the holly leaves!
A small Layered Poinsettia adorns the middle.
The patterned paper is Cosmo Cricket - Odds and Ends - I still love this paper.
Following on from my blog post - Is Craft a Drug?
Sue Yorkshire has sent me a brilliant poem....
She isn't sure who penned this but I think it is very accurate!
Dear Lord,
I'm going to need some notice
Before my days are done.
You see, I'm a craftaholic.
A fact not known to some.
My craft room, it is bulging
All corners, crannies and nooks
There's loads of boxes under the bed,
I hope no one ever looks
I tell myself when shopping,
“No more craft bits today,”
But the craft shops are like magnets
Drawing me their way.
I'm totally at their mercy
Just "need" a dozen of each.
Then I hurry home to hide them
Before the family starts to preach.
So Lord, I'll need a little time
To dispose of all this stuff.
And Lord, can we keep all of this,
Just between the two of us.
Have a lovely weekend - are you crafting?
If so, what are you making?
I've uploaded a few new items to my Amazon Shop and
also if you press on the Spellbinders Academy button on my sidebar you will
see details of the workshop I mentioned earlier this week taking place in January at Artistic Stamper.
I've been clicking so many buttons!

Hi Christine.
Beautiful card. Love the poem. I was out buying yesterday and all these wonderful dies just fell in my basket so "trying them out" is what I'm doing this weekend.

Loving the card, I had to smile when I read the poem, it's oh so true( for me any way). This weekend I'm super excited, we are going to choose a puppy, we have wanted one for a while, it's a Miniature Labradoodle.
Have a great weekend

I love the card, and think I could do something similar, as I don't have labels 22 (I NEED them all!)
The poem brings it home though, as it's hard to stop buying all the new things that come along.
Hi Christine.
A really lovely card,and what a super poem. x.
Morning Christine, What a truly lovely card today, I love it, the colours are so beautiful, so simple a card but so effective, truly beautiful.
I love that poem, it is so, so, true.

hi Christine, what a lovely christmas card, a great idea. Love the poem, i think every crafter could relate to the poem.
I am hoping to do some crafting, probably christmas cards. And as it is currently snowing it won't feel out of place to make them!

Love the card Christine - and the poem - very apt - I think I'll have that printed off!!!
It snowed overnight here in the North East so I'm in my cosy craftroom creating a halloween wall hanging in preparation for a craft day with my 9 year old granddaughter on Monday!!!

P.S. Congrats to Kim and the new puppy, what lovely news.
Hi Christine
Fantastic card, I love everything about it! The verse made me chuckle too :-))
I've returned from holiday yesterday and just starting to catch up, so do expect some comments from me, but they'll be in reverse order! I always start with the latest posts. Just getting the jumpers out as I'm not ready for this weather change!
Have a great day

Wat een schitterend kaart heb je gemaakt

Hi Christine,
Didnt get chance to comment on Friday Die Day blog yesterday, must say it was a lovely tag.
My friend and I went to The Quilt Show at Malvern(Worcestershire)yesterday, thoughly enjoyed it, some beautiful quilts on display.
Today has been spent at our local village hall with our little cosy craft group. We have been making Christmas decorations with 'Jumping clay'.So you could say I#ve had a very crafty time these past few days!
Cute little card today too, I like smaller cards and they seem to go down with the younger set esp. my daughter in laws.
What a super poem, I guess most of us crafters were nodding and agreeing with it.
Hope all enjoyed your cake, it was for this weekend ?

Love the card and the poem!
Hi Christine my Internet has been off all day but that is another story! I love your card and must add these holly motifs and accents to my wish list
Kim you lucky girl, I love labradoodles, my neighbour has just got one and strangely another neighbour got his sister! The male is black and his sister is blonde and much smaller but they are both adorable
Glad you all liked the poem it could have been written with most of us in mind, so true it's scary
Xx
