Happy Christmas :) x

Hi there!

I thought I would pop by today with my last post before Christmas to show you the two 'special' Christmas cards I made this year...

This is the card I have made for my husband, using a Digistamp Boutique image, coloured with ProMarkers. The image is cut out using Standard Squares Nestabilities, mounted on red cardstock cut using Lacey Squares Nestabilities. The paper is Papermania 'Deck the Halls', ribbon & pearls from my stash.

This card, as you can see, is for our Nephew's first Christmas- not that he knows that at 7 months old! I have used a cute image from Pink Gem Designs, coloured with ProMarkers and mounted on red & green cardstock. The paper is Papermania 'Deck the Halls', with ribbon & gems from my stash.

I would like to enter my cards in the following challenges:

Passion for Promarkers #129- Celebrations (2nd card, 2nd entry)

I Love ProMarkers #97- Anything Goes (1st Card, 2nd entry)

Well a Happy Christmas to you all, hope you all have a great time :) x

Some more Little Christmas cards...

Here are some more little Christmas cards I have made, using the same layout as yesterday's... I sort of got on a roll... :)

This time I have used a set of cute santa images from Digistamp Boutique, coloured with ProMarkers... they were great fun to use! :)

I have had a craft sort out & tidy which always makes me feel good... I have also packed up my box of Christmas stash! I love making Christmas cards but I am always happy to pack the christmas stash away for a few months! :)

I am going to enter my cards in Digistamp Boutique's monthly competition for December.

I would also like to enter them in the following challenges:

Passion for ProMarkers #129 - Celebrations

I love ProMarkers #97- Anything Goes

Thanks for taking the time to look at my cards :) x

Some Little Christmas Cards...

Hi, I thought I would pop by with a quick post to show you some quick Christmas cards I made using Lily of the Valley die cut images.

As you can see, the cards are really very simple. I cut the image using standard square nestabilities and the red card using Lacey Squares nesabilities. I have added Stickles glitter glue to the images and on some of them I have added some small gems from my stash :)

I made a set of five of these little cards altogether and I am very pleased with them... very simple to make yet effective too!

Thanks for taking the time to look at my cards :) x

New Challenge at Little Claire's and Blog Candy Winner! :)

Good evening to you all! Just a quick post to announce the winner of my blog candy & show you a card...

Random.org has chosen Heidi as the winner of my little bit of Candy I had on offer! Well done Heidi, I will pop your goodies in the post to you! :)

And here is a card I made for the current challenge at Little Claire's... which is shaped cards. I should have shown you this last week but I have had a horrible cold all week and it has been all I could do to get through the day at work... the evenings have been a total write off!

For this card I have used 'Good Morning Robin' by Red Gingham by Little Claire Designs, coloured with ProMarkers. The papers are 'Holly Jolly Christmas by Echo Park, mounted on black cardstock. The sentiment is a die-cut, also by Red Gingham, mounted on a panel cut using Lacey Circles Nestabilities. Card Candi and cardblank by Craftwork Cards.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenge:

I Love ProMarkers #92 - Christmas Trees (I am not sure if the tree here counts or if if has to be a traditional Christmas Tree- please feel free to delete my entry if it doesn't count! )
