Last Day of School - argh!!

Well, this is the start of chaos and mayhem for me - Graham goes away the day before xmas eve and the kids finish school this afternoon.

I've already shown you the teachers gifts I made,  so I thought I'd show you the quick teachers' cards I made the other day.

 

  

 The image is Teacher Anya from The Greeting Farm (many thanks once again Natalie for stamping all of those up for me) Coloured with promarkers

The paper is Fancy Pants from Simply Create, the snowflakes were cut from scraps of card and Daisy & Dandelion xmas paper. The mats behind the image are D&D xmas paper and SU Kraft card, inked up with Distress Ink. The ribbon was from Hobbycraft and the greetings are Kanban.

 Tomorrow I'll be sharing the last 2 of the xmas cards I made for crafty buddies

Cards for playgroup staff

OK I think I'm nearly done now, got cracking yesterday and did the 4 playgroup staff's cards and gifts. I went for the easy option with the gifts and just plonked a bath lily and a bodyshop miniature into a cello bag, tied the top with a ribbon and added a tag. So I didn't bother to photograph them.
Here's the quickie cards I made for Faith's playgroup staff...

 For the first 2 I used the "Snowflake" image from Sugar Nellie and coloured her with promarkers (the first one is Ice Grey 1-5, and the second one is Orchid, Purple, Apple and Blush)
The paper is Craft House that I got at Simply Create, the glitter paper mats are from Hobbycraft, Martha Stewart snowflake punchies and Craftwork Cards card candy

 The 2nd pair of cards - I have used a couple of Santa's from Sally-Ann at DigiStamp Boutique - so these are a couple of GDT cards.
Coloured with promarkers: Ruby/Burgundy for all the red bits, Caramel and Cocoa for all the brown bits and Arctic Blue for the snowy bits
I added Papermania glitter flock to Santa's beard and suit trim, and glamour dust to the snow. I also covered his boots and belt with a couple of coats of sakura clear glaze pen.
The red and green card are Core'dinations, the papers are Daisy & Dandelion, Craftwork Cards card candy and Kanban greeting. (I hand doodled the greeting on the 1st Santa card)

I give up

That's it - I've given up! I am making no more xmas cards this year. Everyone else is getting shop-bought ones.
I still have teachers/classroom assistants/playgroup leaders to do and then I've finished. Then I need to finish off the 3 I was asked to make by a customer. And the last thing I have to do is 5 more crackers.
Then I can finish wrapping xmas parcels and I can curl up and watch naff xmas movies lol
