20 christmas gift cards in less than 5 minutes!

wanna know how to do that? The other day I was browsing through my local Target store at the Christmas things (as you do) and came across these gorgeous little pre-made gift cards.

I never buy pre-made cards but I just could not leave these behind as I just loved the pattern so very much (I also bought the matching tissue paper which I'm going to do something with - stay tuned for that) ANYWAY I wanted to do something to them and, you know convince myself that it was worth spending $3.95 on this little pack of cards. *wink* I decided to simply chop them in half and stamp a christmas tree and message on them... so for under $5 and less than 5 mins spent I now have 20 cute little gift cards ready to stick on my pressies! Gotta love quick ideas at this time of year hey? (anyone got any links for any more for me?? lol) 

Cute huh?! The stamp is available here, it's from the Fancy Pants Happy Holidays range which I love so very much. I have made a huge stack of chrissy cards using this range which I'll try and get on my blog soon (but you can go here and here to see them too)

I'm really hoping that Typepad is playing nice for me now, I have so much to update with, will be back soon!

Just a little test...

to see if I can upload images and text together! this is driving me bonkers... arrrggghhh

here's a layout... hope it works!

 

edited to add: arrrggghhh! problem not totally fixed. bugger. just tried to upload a whole heap of layouts and it didn't work... what a pain! hope to be back to regular programming soon!  :)

It's Cybercrop weekend!!

License to drive!!!

anyone remember that movie from the 80s/90s of that title with Corey Feldman & Corey Haim?? was one of my faves as a 12 year old! Anyway, might just have to use that as a title as I finally got my drivers license yesterday! So happy and relieved and proud that I did it! It's the best (already! lol)

I did a massive post last week sometime but lost the lot as for some reason my IE is crashing whenever I try and upload photos into my Typepad post... driving me mental. Just happened again just now (this is the 2nd time I've typed this post tonight... grrrr) so no photos tonight, have stacks of layouts to upload, but just wanted to share my news!

Back soon with photos (I hope!!!)

Oh and while I remember, I was tagged by the gorgeous Tracy Wyldman... I did do this tag last week but lost it and was too annoyed to re-type it (since I did it twice and wasted almost my whole daycare day on it!!!! - typepad, not the tag. lol)

ANYWAY HERE GOES...
