No Christmas cards on my floor this week, I've finished... woop woop! Here they are in the box waiting to be written and posted.
They're by Stencil Girl and are from the States, but Leandra has got some in to see how they do. You may have seen I tried them out at the weekend...I found it quite hard to work on something that wasn't a Christmas card, when I did this journal page - so I am hoping to get back in the swing of non festive crafting soon!

Hope you have a good week too.

Woop Woop indeed H, my goodness you're well ahead of the game now! How nice to be focussing on post season stuff! I will get there,but not this week! Ihave this stupid thing about not using the cards I make for the workshops samples..I think I need to get over it!
I do like the stencils..you'll have noticed that I haven't shifted gear or style in the years we've known each other..am makng a few life changing decisions here, so watch this (un)styled space!
Love your journal page - that is fantastic.
Hugs and thanks for visiting me earlier - Neet 8 xx (saying to herself "no I will not succumb to buying stencils, no I will not succumb to buying ....)

Well, congrats on being ahead of the game. I have made ONE card, but then again I really don't send out very many anymore. I really like the arch stencil.
Thanks for visiting this week.

I am so jealous! I haven't even decided what my Christmas cards are going to look like this year. eek! And those stencils look very intriguing. Love what you did with the window one. I can't wait to see what you do with the birds. I'm thinking water color might be good. Thanks for visiting my blog earlier.

Well done - just the writing and posting now! It's so good to maintain relationships, and remember folk we maybe don't see the rest of the year.
Lovely looking new stash.
Have a fun week trying it all out.

Hi Helen,
Oh, I like both of those stencils!! Love your journal page and how you used the stencil. Very cool.
Now, I haven't started my Christmas cards yet. I must confess, I didn't even mail any out last year though....
Thank you for visiting me already. I'm slowly making it around.
Happy belated WOYWW
Peace, Kay (6)
Ooh, I really like that window stencil. I had two arrive today - both crafter's workshop ones. A Balzer Designs face and some birdies. I actually bought them for someone else but like them so much I may have to get them after Christmas. Might add that window one to the list ;)
Beautiful layout! I love seeing what other's do with my stencil!!!
