Hannah’s Christmas Cards

BySue Madex December 7, 2011September 26, 2025

Today’s cards are brought to you by my daughter Hannah (9). We had a bit of a Christmas card making session over the weekend. I was inspired this year by a card made by my friend Judy May so grabbed out the circle punches to get started on my cards. (I always have good intentions of doing them in July and ALWAYS end up making them in December. Grin!) Hannah decided to go with circles as well and attacked my scraps box. She took her Judy inspired cards to school today ……

Do you have some children or grandchildren that love to create? It is fun to let them loose on your scraps box and see what they come up with.

Have a great day, Sue

Little Colouring Cards

BySue Madex November 4, 2008August 29, 2025

I had such a lot of fun last month at the colouring classes I held at my place. Everyone had a chance to try aquapainters, blender pens, pastels, watercolour crayons and other bits and pieces. For this class everyone chose their own colours. It made for a busy evening of cardstock slicing but I just…
