Christmas Cards in May (just!) - CCC15
I have been beavering away to complete my Christmas Cards for May. My aim was 12 cards a month and so far I am up to date - my commitment to 3 tags a month is sadly not doing so great.
Here are the cards many with Christmas baubles but a few random ones too.

MFP May Blog Hop - Day 3
Welcome to the MFP Stamp Shop May Blog Hop
This month's new Stamp Set Releases are:
Featured May 26 - Tree Scene

Featured May 28 - Pots and Vases
I had some fun with today's set. I ended up with two cards - one using a glass vase and the other two pots.
For my first card with the vase I used flowers from the set called Lots of Words. I used some Card Candi and a border punch.
For my second card I also needed to pull out the Bring on the Sun stamp set. I am not sure if anyone in the USA knows of Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men - a TV show when we were kids - Black and White and you can see the puppet strings! As you can imagine they were made of flower pots and were called Bill and Ben. The flower was called Little Weed. They lived in two big pots at the bottom of the garden and got up to their antics when the gardener wasn’t around. It was a program (part of our Watch with Mother series) that used to be on the TV when we were kids. It was all so innocent! My brother gets this card when he turns 60 later in the year.
This card was watercoloured.

MFP May Blog Hop - Day 2
Welcome to the MFP Stamp Shop May Blog Hop
This month's new Stamp Set Releases are:
Featured May 26 - Tree Scene
Featured May 27 - Animal Birthdays
My card today started with the little fox and some Copics. I then decided to play with an old dictionary page and some Brushos. Originally this was going to be a test page but in the end it became part of my card. I embossed it with a hessian embossing folder - one of my current favourites.

MFP May Blog Hop - Day 1
Welcome to the MFP Stamp Shop May Blog Hop
This month's new Stamp Set Releases are:
Featured May 26 - Tree Scene
This card today uses the trees as a backdrop to my "kids" lined up in pairs.
Yes they are Meerkats.
Our niece has just got a new teaching post for September in an infant school where outdoor actvities get extra focus. We are of course thrilled for her!
The blue panel is embossed with a Sizzix embossing folder which I won recently.

Baby News
I believe this card will have made it's way across "the pond" so I now feel it is safe to post it on my blog. I am not aware that quads are expected - only one as far as we know but I used a selection of colours as we don't know the sex yet. Yellow and Grey were the wedding colours so appropriate that a baby was in each colour. Stamps used are from MFP and MFT. There is white pink and blue embossing powders on the background - blue and pink are sparkly but most of the sparkle drops off when you heat it - ugh!
Congratulations to Laura and James.

SC540 - Birthday Girl
This week I am prepared - this card is needed for next week so having made it I must remember to post it in time!
I used SC540 and a digital image to make this girlie card.
I stencilled on the background to the image but sadly my green wasn't quite right. The image was coloured with Copics and various papers were used. I haven't used as many papers on a card for a long time!

Tough Week
It has been a tough week and one of these cards was made last weekend and the other one not until today. The today one was actually needed for Wednesday - our niece turned 21. She didn't mind that her card and present would be late, but I still feel bad.
This card is needed for a Birthday yet to come and uses Ravengirl's challenge of time
This 21st card one uses the CAS323 challenge MAY - M for Mosaic (nearly all photos of animals we have taken) A for Animals, Age or Alcohol inks and Y for yellow the hardest letter of this challenge. Anna who turned 21 on Wednesday is training to be a vet and the photos of horse jumping are her when she was younger.
Have a great weekend.

Sad and simple
These notecards were made today to send to a few people to let them know that Dave's Mum passed away yesterday. Most people we can contact by phone but a few we only have addresses for. We are both filled with sadness and relief - sadness at her passing and relief she is free from the dreaded dementia. It has been a long 10 years since his Dad was ill and passed away and we realised she could not cope.
Having stamped and coloured the butterflies I was totally stumped so just drew in some simple borders.
Thanks for looking
