FAVE PERSON TO MAKE FOR

 Morning Everyone,

A little late with my post for our new challenge starting at As You Like It and we are asking who is your favourite person to make for at Christmas.

This year for me it is my grandson.  It's the first year that he is more aware of it and he's already been to see Santa.  They are at Center Parcs this weekend so I'm sure he'll be seeing him again.

I've chosen an All Dressed Up image to use for him as he loves dinosaurs.  I have coloured with copics and added glitter to the snow and his hat. The background paper was from an old magazine and I've added snow by way of a stencil and paste.  There's also a bit of snow on the white rectangle, but it's not very visible.

The challenge is sponsored by:

ADD A HAT

 Morning Everyone,

This is my reminder post for Christmas Craft Creations where the theme this months is 'Add a Hat'.

For my card I have used a Conie Fong image coloured with copics and with added glitter to his hat and glossy accents to the berries.  Small snowflakes, pearls and the sentiment finish it off.  A fairly simple card but I am happy with how it has turned out.  

There are 3 prizes on offer and there is still plenty of time to enter as closing date is Tuesday 12th December.

FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS ANIMAL?

 Hello Everyone,

A new challenge starts at As You Like It today and we are asking you to share your favourite Christmas critter.

I have chosen Reindeer, especially one with a red nose, as it wouldn't be Christmas without Rudolph would it?

For my card I have used a MFT sentiment die and added reindeer from Mama Elephant, which have been stamped, coloured with copics and die cut.  The two little ornaments and bird are also from the same set.  I used a snippet of striped paper and it was a tad short for the 5"x7" card so the card had to be cut down slightly for it to look right.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

DIGIS AND DIE CUTS

Good Morning All,

Today is the start of a new challenge over at the Cutie Pies  and the theme is "Digis and Die Cuts".

For my card I have used a cute LOTV bunny digi coloured with copics with papers from an old LOTV pad.  Dies have been used to cut all the elements including the rice rack die from MFT.

CHRISTMAS COLOURS

Morning Everyone, 

A new challenge starts today at As You Like It and we are asking for your favourite of either traditional or modern Christmas colours.

 I do like both really, but it's a nice change to make something in a modern colour. Lilacs and purples are my favourite shades and I think it looks really pretty with silver.  I have used a Memory Box Pine Tree border die in silver mirri card and filled in with a snippet of lilac from a LOTV Christmas pad.  I think the heat embossed sentiment is also LOTV and the ric rac (is that what you call it?) from MFT.  I've added clear sparkle dots although they haven't photographed very well.

I hope you can join us for this Christmas theme, not long to go now!

CAROL KITTENS

 Morning Everyone,

This is my last card for this month and I've made a smaller version of this card which I made five years ago.  When I looked at it I couldn't believe it was that long ago, time just flies so quick!

This is my favourite kitten set so I thought I'd share it with the Christmas Kickstart Cat Lovers challenge in memory of Janis Woolbright.

I've coloured the kitties with copics, added glitter to their hats and fussy cut them out.  I've used a brick layer die from The Greetery on the background and die cut the lamp.  The sentiment is also from the Carol Kitten set which is from Gerda Steiner.

LOTUS FLOWERS

Morning Everyone,

This is a card I've made with an Alex Syberia digi stamp called Lotus flower.

I have coloured with copics and tried to use some of the colours in the latest Alex Syberia challenge.  The theme was heat embossing but I couldn't really do that with a digi image.  I've added a few clear drops, the sentiment is heat embossed in white and a snippet of the black paper was found in one of my boxes.  I tend to keep all offcuts and scraps by colour in clear A4 boxes but the pile seems to grow bigger and bigger! Perhaps I ought to be ruthless and throw some.
