336 small snowflakes to punch
140 large snowflakes to die cut
Circles to die cut and punch
An evening spent in front of the TV tracing templates....cutting ribbon and cord and hey ho.....one kit completed only 27 to go and that is just for the first project.....so today it will be starting all over again for Project No 2 which is easier...just a template to trace.....thank goodness for that
and of course I couldn't do it without these guys.....
and my trusty X-Cut Guillotine....a real workhorse who cuts through 4 sheets of 300gsm cardstock like a hot knife through butter. And boy oh boy did I sleep well last night....in fact I think I had dropped off before my head hit the pillow...nothing like a hard day's work to send you off into dreamland.
But it wasn't all work in the cubbyhole yesterday.....my lovely buddy Debbi popped in for a coffee and a chat and then surprise surprise.....we had another two very special visitors.....Anne and her gorgeous granddaughter Lily who was rather taken with The Furry Boy and vice versa....but try getting two live wires to stay still long enough to get a photo.....they do say never work with children and animals and I can see why.
Will be back later with Inspired By You Take No 3 and I wonder what the lovely Jill has created for us today but before I start work for the day....Mr Dyson needs to deal with the floor in the cubbyhole which looks as though there has been a mega snowfall overnight.Hugs Kath xxx
kath great I have enjoyed your wonderful Christmas cards what a talent! can not wait until the next inspiration! love petra
ReplyDeleteYou have been hard at work. Have a great day and hugs to furry baby. Could do with a furry cuddle but my Skipper does not like cuddles. Need to get a dog like Buddy! :) Hugs Anesha
ReplyDeleteMorning Kath you have been busy. Good Luck with the rest of the prep work. Have a good day. Hugs to you and Buddy. x ChrisB
ReplyDeleteWow Kath you have been busy! Looking good, just a shame Buddy cannot help as you would be finished in half the time.

The pieces for the kits are a lovely inspiration all by themselves! Honest, while I'm punching and counting I often wonder why I do it - but then I get there and remember how fun it all is!
