new challenge

Finally a Christmas post *bah humbug* from me.

Using a new freebie Reindeer die, I made these cute little Christmas cards - the envelopes were part of a 'thank you' card/envelope pack from a magazine, not used the cards as they have a heart shaped die cut out of them, probably find a use for them someday, but the envelopes came in handy!

Entering into a new blog to me,  merry monday christmas challenge blog, ironically close to Christmas, but hoping I will play every week and get ahead for next year.


 
Used Creata Christmas backing papers, layered onto plain white cards, which were off cuts from when I make my 6x6 cards. The reindeer paper/card is snippets from my bits n bob drawer, where I put every leftover little bit of paper/card once I've finished my projects. Its a big drawer!! I never cease to be surprised at what I can find in there.
Embellished with peel offs, sentiments and shiny *g*
 
Perfect little cards for posting to Mr G's relatives this year.

    Oh these are delightful Amanda! Isn't it great to do a little batch of similar cards - I'm a great fan of 'batch baking'. And you'll enjoy playing along with Merry Monday too. So pleased you're coming back to play with us - do remember to say in a comment if you want to be in the prize draw. It's all explained in my blog post each Sunday - basically it's so I don't find that a winner didn't really want the prize in the first place - just makes life easier for me.

    Have you been coerced into the Playground Nativity Play yet? I hear plans are afoot already and a couple of the girlies are holding 'audition's - snigger, totally mad! Sometimes I despair :)

    Hugs

Edges and mint green

Didn't think I'd get time to do something for the current Butterfly challenge, if I have odd day off I don't get to craft much, but if the days off fall together I seem to be more organised. Done something digital today, so can enter into two challenges. Done in pastel colours to co-ordinate with the mint green butterfly, using a Butterfly digi kit. Plenty of tweaking and fading of things, so not going to go into details like I usually do. I like this so much I'm going to buy a small box frame and hang it up somewhere, as a gentle reminder that its ok when things change, you just need to adapt. entering in: Butterfly challenge = E for edges and/or mint green and onto the 2nd challenge, with a heavy heart as its the very last challenge from this lovely Digital blog. Everyone on the DT and all the participants are lovely people and create some amazing projects, it will be a shame not too have this inspiration anymore. entered into:  Digitally Sweet = anythi...
