CUTE AND CUDDLY CHRISTMAS
Good Morning Everyone,
It is the start of a new challenge at The Cutie Pie Challenge and we would like to see a "Cute and Cuddly Christmas" project.
This was a pretty quick and last minute make for me as I have been busy with all the preparations for Christmas. We put our trees up over the weekend (one in lounge and one in dining room) and all the other little bits and pieces that go round the house. I still have some wrapping to do, but at least I have all the present shopping done.

FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS EMBELLISHMENT
Morning Everyone,
It's just started to snow here this morning. Lovely to look at, but hopefully it won't stay too long as I'm going out later.
It is time for a new challenge over at As You Like It and we are asking what your favourite Christmas embellishment is on your projects. Mine is glitter or anything sparkly. Christmas is the beast reason to add sparkle to a card.

CAS KITTIES
I have a CAS Christmas card to share today for the CAS Christmas card challenge.
I have used 2 of the kittens from my Gerda Steiner stamp set called Carol Kittens. I'm not really a cat person, but I do love these. I have coloured with copics and fussy cut them out. Glitter has been added to their hats and I have used a brick wall die from Sweet Dixie with Antique Linen DI behind.

BLACK & WHITE & ONE OTHER COLOUR
Good Morning Everyone,
This is my reminder post for Christmas Craft Creations where the theme this month is Black and White plus one other colour.
I've chosen gold for my extra colour. I had some odd pieces of this lovely paper and have heat embossed my reindeer and sentiment in gold and used gold pearlescent for the mats.

FIND TIME TO RELAX
Good Morning Everyone,
This is a card I made for my daughter who had a baby in August hence the sentiment, which is computer generated.
It is a Stamping Bella stamp coloured with copics and stickles added to the bubbles. The papers are from an old LOTV pad and I've added die cut flowers and used a corner punch.

CRITTERS OR PEOPLE
Good Morning Everyone,
It's the start of a new challenge today over at As You Like It where we are asking whether you prefer critters or people on your projects. I do like both, but prefer to colour critters as I find them easier, especially if there's a lot of hair to colour and there's also a great variety of cute critters too.

ANOTHER GNOME CARD
Hello Everyone,
I've made another gnome card. I do love him because I can use up a few scraps of paper and even the base can be cut from the odd shapes of white you're often left with.
I cut out a rectangular template and used Stampin Up Bashful Blue for the sky and left a slanted bit for the snow. Then used a Simon Says Falling Snow stencil with texture paste and added white glitter to the past while it was still wet. Stickles have been added to the snow and the Li'l gnome added to the corner. I was going to try and draw a frame around it, but decided on some silver peel off strips, it was safer.

SKETCH AT CHRISTMAS CRAFT CREATIONS
Good Morning Everyone,
This is my reminder post for Christmas Craft Creations where this month we are following this sketch.
Here is my take on the sketch.
I didn't want to do the obvious trees so chose one tree and stamps, coloured with copics, from the MFT set "Jingle All the Way". The background paper is from Whimsy stamps.
An easy card to make, apart from the fussy cutting, which I seem to be doing a lot of recently even though it's not my favourite thing to do!
I hope you will be able to join in, thank you for visiting and I will be back tomorrow with another DT card.

BABY ONESIE
Morning Everyone,
This is the card I made when my daughter had her baby. He is now 6 weeks old so I thought I'd better share it.
I wanted to make something a bit different for her so the lovely Annette from Netty's cards kindly sent me her baby onesie template to use. It wasn't that easy for me as I had to cut out by hand and that's not one of my favourites things to do, but I got there in the end. The papers are from a Baby Mine pad by Carta Bella and I hand stitched around the edges. I've coloured the LOTV image with copics to match the papers and added little heart shaped pearls and the sentiment, which is also from LOTV.

PLAID GNOME
Good Morning everyone,
I have a very simple card here for the CAS Christmas challenge where the theme is plaid.
I have used my L'il gnome die from Simon Says Stamp and cut his plaid hat and outfit from a snippet of paper and coloured his beard and nose with copics. I embossed a circle with a falling snow folder and added glitter to some of the flakes. The stitched banner is stamped in red with a background stamp from My Favorite Things and the sentiment is from LOTV. I am loving these black embossed labels at the moment, they are my favourite.

BIRTHDAY TIME
Good Morning Everyone,
I hope you've had a good weekend. Did anyone watch the tennis on Saturday with Emma Raducanu. I can't believe she's only 18, a brilliant player, let's hope she keeps it up.
It is time for a new challenge over at The Cutie Pies and it's all about birthdays as we are celebrating our 10th birthday and there are 4 fabulous sponsors.

CIRCLES OR SQUARES
Good Morning Everyone,
It is time for a new challenge over at As You Like It and we are asking whether you prefer circles or squares for your cards. For my card bases I definitely prefer squares as I find them easier for layouts, but for images it depends on which suits them best and these bunnies are definitely made for circles.
I have coloured them with copics and placed them under two dual stitched circle dies and a Penny Black edger die. The sentiment is heat embossed in white and is from LOTV as are the bunnies.

FLOWERS ALL OVER
Good Morning Everyone,
What beautiful weather we're having here at the moment. I thought we'd seen the last of the warm sunny days.
I've had a play with some inks after seeing a video on Youtube. I put three colours of ink onto a mat, sprayed them with a bit of water and then stamped my flowers from the Adore You set by Altenew in a random manner.

FAVOURITE WILD ANIMAL?
Good Morning Everyone,
It is time for a new challenge at As You Like It where we would like to see projects featuring your favourite wild animal.
I like lots of wild animals but have chosen elephants because they are such gentle giants and when they are being killed purely for their ivory, it is very sad.
I have used my WPlus9 elephants coloured with copics and cut out with their dies. The birthday die is from MFT and I've cut that from a LOTV simply print watercolour. I must say I'm not very happy with the card. It's probably because the elephants would have looked better being larger but with them being stamps and not digital I had to go with it and didn't have time to make anything else.
