Let's celebrate!

Hiya everyone, 

Today I have a card I made for Making Cards magazine Christmas special that was in association with Joanna Sheen so that it had lots of papers and elements from her new Victorian Christmas CD Rom.

I am using this as my DT card for the new "Celebrate" challenge that starts today here at the Joanna Sheen Challenge blog and runs till the 28th November.  It is quite a plain stepper card but the magazine doesn't want the designers to use much extra stuff as they want people to be able to buy the magazine and only have to add the basics such as ribbon/gems etc.  I made 9 cards for the Christmas special and 8 of them were used so I was quite pleased!

 

I hope you're all having a good weekend and are all getting set for Christmas.  I've virtually finished all my Christmas shopping but have been conned now into helping my mum get hers as she finds it difficult whilst looking after my nan as she doesn't get out too much and doesn't have the internet yet.

Season's greetings!

 

Hiya everyone, 

Just a quickie post from me today - I have quite a few hospital appointments in the next few weeks so I haven't really been crafting as I thought it best to take a wee break.  I'm not poorly but it's never nice to be poked and prodded at the hospital is it? :(

Anyhoo, this card is one of a set of two that I made for November issue of Making Cards magazine.  These Wild Rose Studio images made great boys cards which is what I was asked to make. This stamp is called "Antoine at postbox" which is coloured with my promarkers and it's super cute!  The papers are from Echo Parks "Winter wishes" 6x6 paperstack.

On a brighter note my little man is now 1 year old and I just couldn't resist sharing this piccie of him eating a jaffa cake!

I need to get a wriggle on and make Tayla's 3rd birthday card as that's coming up soon - where does the time go? 

Hugs

Nitwits - Holiday Bouquet kit!

Hellllooo!   It's that time again for a fresh challenge here at the ALBC challenge so I have killed 2 birds with one stone here by using our sponsors image from Pink Gem Designs and the new kit from Nitwits for my Nitwits DT card.  The image is called "Winter Hoot" and is available here and the papers are from the "Holiday bouquet" kit which is full of luscious pastel pink and green papers and embellishments which make such a change to the traditional colour combos.  It was so hard to decide which of the papers to use! :)

I hope that you like it!
Hugs
