Promised pictures!

I took a few pictures like I said I would. I haven't done this for so long, they are not very good  I'm afraid! I have been making Christmas cards and trying to use up old stash. I have tried really hard not to buy more (with only partial success).
On the cards here I used some decoupage sheets I bought at least three years ago. 
I was looking for something else when I found these sheets. Do you ever do that, go looking for something and find stuff that you had bought but totally forgotten about......very bad!!
I also found some Kanban stuff from the Christmas before last that I bought from QVC and yes I have bought more Christmas Kanban since then eek! I get seduced by how pretty the ready made images are but truth be told, I don't really like to use them. I prefer to stamp and colour my own images, which is probably why they are still unused.
More money than sense, no actually, just no sense. I do feel bad that I have this stuff but haven't used it yet but I am trying to make amends and these little cards are the start of that.
 Anyway, I have absolutely no idea where I bought these from but I do remember they were only a pound a sheet. The papers are from my stash and probably Papermania. The fab little sentiments are from Craftwork cards. 
 I have just noticed my photos have the date on them, I hate that! I used a camera that my hubby gave me, not my usual little Olympus as the batteries were dead. The hubbys' camera was more expensive than mine but I still prefer my own.
That will do for today I think. Until next time.

Big kisses
