FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS IMAGE OR ANIMAL

 Good Morning Everyone,

It is the start of a new challenge over at As You Like It and we are asking for your favourite image or animal for Christmas cards.

I do like to make a few cards with Christmas tree images.  A lot of the people I send cards to aren't really the cute animal types so I like to make some cards more suitable for them and this Stampin Up tree, which I have heat embossed in copper, is my favourite.  I have used copper pearlescent card for the mats and added pretty ribbon to match.

My shopping trip yesterday went quite well with a few small presents bought.  It's raining quite heavily here at the moment so it will be a stay at home day today.  Thank you for your visit and have a good day.

WHITE ON WHITE

Good Morning Everyone,

This is my reminder post for Christmas Craft Creations where the theme this month is "White on White". 

For my DT card I have used a Spellbinders poinsettia die cut with snippets in white (of which I have a drawer full), foliage from a Sizzix Tim Holtz set and a Merry Christmas die.  I have edged the poinsettia leaves in glitter and added pearls here and there.  For the bottom half of the card I have used some Stampin Up speciality paper which is raised and has a velvety feel.  The vellum backing of the paper makes it look a little dark, but it is quite white in real life. The two halves of the card are divided by white ribbon.

Remember, you must display this logo to be eligible for the prize draw, which this month is a paper pad and matching stamp.

I would like to enter:

Snippets Playground - Flower, foliage and sentiment were all snippets

Festive Friday - Anything Christmas

Crafty Catz - AG/option ribbon or twine

Christmas Kickstart - Poinsettias and posies

Crafts Galore - Anything Goes

ABC Christmas - V for velvet

I am venturing to the shops today to start having a look round for some of the smaller presents we usually buy for Christmas.  Let's hope it's a fruitful trip!  Thank you for visiting and have a good day.

TRADITIONAL OR CONTEMPORARY

 Morning Everyone,

There's a new challenge starting today at As You Like It and we are asking whether you prefer to make traditional or contemporary style Christmas cards.

I do love both styles but I have chosen contemporary for this challenge as it gives me an opportunity to use one of my unused stamp sets.  This one was won in the Snippets Playground Christmas draw last year so it's about time I used it!

I wasn't quite sure what to do at first so I stamped the sheep onto copic friendly paper, coloured them with my markers and fussy cut them out.  Once I had decided I stamped the tree onto the stitched rectangle, glued the sheep in place.  The background paper is from a Doodlebug Christmas pad.

THINK PINK

 Morning Everyone,

I hope you've had a good weekend.  I'm back today with a post for the start of a new challenge over at the Cutie Pie challenge where the theme is "Think Pink", but also must be cute too.

I have used a cute image kindly supplied by the sponsors, Polkadoodles, and it can be purchased here.  I have coloured with copics and added two strips of paper, the sentiment which is in silver metallic and is from Simon Says Stamp.  

I hope you will be able to join us and there will be a voucher from Polkadoodles for the luck winner.

I would like to enter:

Thank you for visiting and I will be back on Thursday with another DT card.  In the meantime, I hope you have a good week.
