Christmas in blue again!

Well I've had a brilliant day! Lots of cards and toppers made to sell on ebay if they'll allow me! This card was inspired by the paper, Dovecrafts "Winter Wonderland" again, which was a printed sheet of squares. All I've done is cut it up and layered each square onto silver mirri card, attaching them back in square formation on a printed base card. I've tied some organza ribbon around it, and added a few sparkly stars.
Simple but I like it!
I've also done my Mo Manning card but I've yet to find a challenge to enter it into so you'll have to wait for that one.
This one is my second entry in Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge "A touch of blues".
Right, best be off and get school stuff sorted.

FOREVER IN BLUE JEANS!
This is my second card for today....oh yes...there may be more!
I am entering this one in Freshly Made Sketches Challenge number 35, a sketch. I've used various denim print papers layered onto cream card, simply embellished with string, denim tag, and "Live in Jeans" sticker. A card that sums me up.....very simple and always in jeans!

BLUE BLUE CHRISTMAS

Well, I'm in crafting heaven today. Hubby's out for the day at an Iaido grading (it's a bit like Karate but with swords!) so I'm busy making!
I've dusted off my Cricut machine today, it has taken a back step since I discovered stamping. I still love you Cricut, honest I do!
So, my lovely Cricut cut me some baubles, and I've used Dovecraft's "Winter Wonderland" papers on gold mirri card. Finished the card off with some white organza ribbon.
This is my first entry this week in CHCC "Touch of Blues".

Traditional Red and Green Christmas

Just had to make another Christmas card for CHCC....well, why not?!
Used my beautiful embossed Papermania "Classic Christmas" papers again, to make this easel card. Layered up a flower and added a red poinsettia to finish it off. Simples!
Day off tomorrow, yippeeeeee! I've got lots to do but hoping to finish off another Mo Manning card to share tomorrow.

BIG PANTS!
Here's a cutie little number I've just made. Bought myself some more Mo Manning stamps last night (naughty me!) and this has been a very rushed job because I wanted to enter their challenge this week which is Tickle-My-Funny-Bone. Hadn't got much time after work, quick half hour later I produced this. I've coloured the image with my promarkers, not upto my usual standard but it will have to do! I've layered up Raspberry Road Design papers on pink and blue card, embellished with flowers from WOC and added some frilly lace and pearls from my stash.
Falling ever so slightly in love with Mo Mannings stamps, I even dreamt about them last night. Bit sad! Lol.
So, I'll be entering this in Mo's Digital Challenge , Wild Orchid Challenge "Anything Goes" and also I Love Promarkers challenge "Anything Goes"

Christmas Fairy Holly

My new favourite Christmas stamp! I have been spending my pennies again...and I'm blaming Hazel Conboy! Check out her fabulous blog! She's introduced me to Mo Manning stamps and they are scrummy yummy.
Fell in love with this little one straight away. She is "Christmas Holly Fairy" and she is above cute! I've coloured her in with Promarkers and added Rangers Glossy Accents to the snow globe she's holding. Papers are from Papermania "Henbury Lane", layered onto red and gold mirri card. Simply embellished with some red flat-backed pearls.
Another entry in CHCC.
Takeaway Chinese tonight. Yummy for my tummy!

Traditional Christmas

A simple easel card today as I made the decision to make the most of the fine weather and get the garden sorted. I've used my Papermania "Classic Christmas" papers again, love them especially as they're embossed. I've embellished with some holly leaves and poinsettia, and a red bow,
Entering this in Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge which is traditional red and green this week.
Off to watch the rest of Lord of the Rings now....I know it inside out but still love watching it!
