Happy Christmas!

Hello!

Today we are off to spend Christmas with family, so this will be my last post for a couple of days.  My little girl now screams (with excitement!) when Santa is mentioned, my little boy is only 18 months so all he knows is that the Christmas tree is a great toy!

Here's the card I made for my brother-in-law and his girlfriend!

This card is so sparkly as the dp is glittered, plus the Ho Ho is covered in crystal stickles, and then just in case I hadn't started a world shortage I put just a little bit more the Santa hats!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Card Crafter's Circle - Christmas
Simon Says - Let's Play Bingo (Ribbon, Gems, Glitter)
Aud's Sentiments - Anything Goes
Little Miss Muffet -Anything Goes
Stamping for the Weekend - Anything Goes

I'd also like to say hello to my three new followers:  Pat, Katerina and Shaz - thanks for stopping by - it's much appreciated!

Anyway - Hope you all have a fab Christmas!  See you all on the other side of the turkey!!

Grandad

Evening

I'm so full!! I've just got back from my work's Christmas Dinner and it was yummy. I decided to be a bit crazy and not have turkey - but went for Moroccan Lamb instead and a nice chocolate cheesecake for pudding!!

Here's the card I made for my lovely Grandad - he's very old now and not entirely with it - but I'm hoping it cheers him up a bit!

I've used some more of my lovely Dovecraft Paper.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Sassy Cheryl's - Snowman with a Die cut
The Pixie Cottage - Sketch / Someone Special
Catch the Bug - Baby It's Cold Outside
Craft Your Days Away - Snowmen
Little Claire's - Family Christmas

I'm finished!!

Hello!!

I've just finished my last card, I made two last night and two this morning so I thought I'd have a well earned sit down with a hot chocolate before I brave going out of the house to finish off my Christmas shopping!

This is for my very lovely husband - it's really grey here today so I've struggled to get a decent photo.  I've covered the bell in glossy accents - it looks great!  The DP is  Dovecraft Let it Snow - it's so sparkly but you can't really tell.  As these papers are so nice they have been reserved for special cards only, I've only cut into 3 sheets out of 48!!  Plenty left for next year!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Cupcake Craft - Sketch
EAC - Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly - Christmas Card
The Pixie Cottage - Someone Special
Simply Create Too - Embossing
Little Claires - Family Christmas

Thanks for looking!!

Hi,

This time in a week we'll just be finishing our Christmas dinner!  Lovely!

Here's my latest card - it's for our sort-of-niece Molly.  Molly loves pink as you can see from this card:

The owls scarf is covered in pink glitter but my rubbish photography doesn't show it up or how lovely and sparkly the ribbon is!
