Wotcha Wednesday

I say it every week but time flies!
I've been busy with xmas decorations this week and still haven't managed to get a wreath made. I have access to so many goodies such as Willow, Holly etc etc so I'm determined to finally give it a go this year but I suspect that by the time I get one done it'll be time to take them all back down again!

This weeks Wotcha Wednesday is featuring some of the card blogs I love, simply because I have spent more time on these sites over the last few days than anything else!
I love making my own cards and after 8 years of having no room to do it I have been so looking forward to getting stuck in now I have a dedicated room for it.
However,,,,,,,, every attempt so far has resulted in disaster. I don't have stashes of all the new fandangled toppers and papers and my Cricut machine is on the blink because the carriage drags and cuts the paper in the wrong place. The nice people at Cricut have suggested I buy a new one - complete machine that is, not just a new carriage! Wouldn't mind but this machine isn't even all that old.
Anyway, I digress, again! (I have a habit of doing that. So much going round in my head that it comes out all bojangled!)
So I've been scouting blogs to cheat for inspiration. So far I've found heaps of that but still haven't produced one decent card.
Today is the day though, I can feel it in my waters! And I'll blog the results when they're done!

'Janey's cards'

Soooo love this one!

This is what i wish I could produce.

I never would have thought to use background papers like that! See I have no imagination!

Simple but gorgeous!

Susan has many how to's for the alot of the cards she has made so if you lack inspiration like me saunter on over to Rainy Day creations and learn from Susan.

Thank you to each blogger I have featured. Your blogs have seriously inspired me and will continue to do so over the coming New Year - who knows maybe I'll even enter a few challenges next year!
