A little papercrafting.....

Well...my plans to stitch the day away didn't happen. Hubby in my stitching chair watching a Netflix on the computer forced me to spend two hours at my craft table. Too uncomfortable to stitch, I decided to make some Christmas cards. I love doing papercrafts but I am "messy". In two hours, I went from this.....

to this......

The fruits of my labor?


Three simple cards that I am not completing loving! Huh???? Just couldn't get the creative juices flowing and then the "mess" was frustrating so I had to quit! Now...time for some stitching after I clean up the mess! Hope your day was more productive and filled with happy stitches.....

    They look great to me. I say every year that I'm going to do my cards and never get them done. You're ahead a the game.

    Oh your cards are very pretty!

    I like your craft table. The second picture looks just like my stitching desk does. Except my desk almost always looks like that!

    I love the way you craft. :D I make a mess too and since I don't have a craft table I make mess at our dining table and then I have to clean up the mess so we can have dinner. :) I think the cards are very cute.
