ANYTHING GOES AT AS YOU LIKE IT

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you are all well into your Christmas preparations. Not long to go now.

There's a new challenge over at As You Like It and to make things easy the theme is Anything Goes.  I know I've been short on crafting time lately as I'm sure most of you have been.  I think some of the glue on my card was still wet when I took this photo!



I've used a cute Penguin Nativity image from Whimsy Stamps and coloured them with copics.
I've added a Memory Box star die in white glitter card, a doily  and some tiny blue gems in the shape of stars. The sentiment and papers are from LOTV.

The sponsor for the challenge is

CAROLS AND SONGS AT CWT CUTIES


Good Morning Everyone,

It is time for a new challenge over at Christmas with the Cuties and the theme is Carols and Songs so we would like to see something cute and Christmassy along those lines.



Now I must admit this wasn't my intended card for the challenge, but time has been so short with Christmas preparations, meals out etc., I didn't have time to finish it, but luckily I had this card in my drafts waiting to be used.

When I saw these Gerda Steiner Carol Kittens, I just loved the expressions on their faces so had to buy them from Dies to Die For when they became available.  I've coloured them with copics, fussy cut them out and used a wall embossing folder for the background and a Sizzix street lamp die.  I had a little holly stamp so used that on the wreath and added glossy accents to the bow.  The paper for the pavement is from my scraps folder and the sentiment is embossed onto the wall and comes with the kitten stamp set. I've also added glitter to the kittens' hats.


The sponsor for the challenge this month is:

FAVOURITE XMAS ANIMAL?

Morning Everyone,

It is time for a new challenge at As You Like It and this time we would like to see projects containing your favourite Christmas animal (and don't forget to tell us why please).




I have chosen this cute Stamping Bella reindeer for mine, I mean where would Santa be without them to help him distribute presents?  Also, who can resist such a cute reindeer?

I must say I really struggled with this card.  I'd had him coloured up with copics for a while, but when it came to deciding on a layout I think my mojo had gone awol! In the end I used my new MFT background stamp, which I embossed in white, and also my favourite mini scalloped dies.  The usual additions on a Christmas card for me, i.e. glitter, a little snowflake and glossy accents finished it off.  This will be a nice flat one for posting.

FANCY FOLDS - SPARKLES DT

Good Morning Everyone,

It is time for a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas and the theme is Fancy Folds.





I don't make many fancy fold cards and this Joy fold is probably as fancy as I get.  This was inspired by Mrs. A's lovely card. It was a fold I hadn't seen before so thought I'd have a go.  My image is a freebie from a magazine and the papers are First Edition.  I've added an inlaid snowflake die, gold soft sheen card, gold gems and a gold embossed sentiment from Inkylicious.

I hope you can join us in this last challenge of the year and to see the lovely inspiration from the rest of the DT you can pop over here.

I would like to enter:
