Santa Clause is Coming to Town.....

Helloee,

How are you today? I hope you're having a great week!

I am happy...super happy...as it's nearly time for my Christmas break....yes just six more working days until I "break up" for Christmas! I am aware that I sound completely like a school child...but I love this time of year...the films, the music, the mince pieces...everything is so shiny and bright (apart from the weather maybe!).

Anyway, today we launch the last challenge of 2015 at Christmas at Sweet Stampin - can you believe that?! If you have joined us all year you'll have twelve fab Christmas cards ready to send. As it's December and Father Christmas will be paying all those on his "nice list" a visit later this month it seems like "Father Christmas" is a good theme for our challenge this month.

I've used an oldie but a goodie digi stamp for this challenge.....one that always makes me smile.....

I just love the idea that Father Christmas has enjoyed one too many mince pies and got a little bit stuck in a chimney!

I've used red and green backing papers, along with some patterned paper featuring some of the treats that probably got Father Christmas into this little mess! I have used my Promarkers to colour my image.

Not feeling festive enough yet....pop by the Christmas at Sweet Stampin challenge blog and take a peek at all the fab DT cards that have been created. You can also find out all about our fab sponsor this month....

We look forward to seeing your festive creations.

Thanks for popping by today,

Santa's Coming...or is he?

Hello there,

Happy Hump Day - look....the weekend is in sight!

I hope you are keeping well and have had a good week so far!

I am back today with another Christmas challenge from Christmas at Sweet Stampin....this month our theme is "Santa's Coming". I have a wonderful Santa digi image that previous visitors to my blog will recognise, it always makes me smile whenever I use it and I thought it was perfect for this challenge.....

Hee, hee! 

My image has been coloured with my Promarkers and I have added a little sparkle with my Stickles. My backing paper is a combination of plain and patterned papers, featuring some festive treats! I have made my little Christmas pud out of paper, and once again added a little sparkle with my trusty Stickles!

For more "santa's coming" inspiration pop by the Christmas at Sweet Stampin challenge blog and take a peek at the wonderful DT cards that have been created this month. While you're there you can find out about our fab sponsor this month.....

If you are looking for anymore blog reading this week, you could take a peek at my afternoon tea blog. Last weekend I indulged in a 1920s themed afternoon tea affair at Byfleet Manor (where some of Downton Abbey is filmed!). It was an event hosted by the Secret Tea Society and the afternoon was filled with pearls, tea and cake! Read all about it over on Tea With Me and Friends!

Here Comes Santa!

Hello there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope you are well and having a good week! Can you believe that we're into September already? Where is this year going? Well, in preparation for Christmas we have a new challenge for you at Christmas at Sweet Stampin this month!

This month we'd like to see Santa feature on your card in some way. The image I have used is one of my favourite Christmas digi images.....

 

Hee, hee! I think this Santa might have spent far too much time at my house before Christmas....sampling some sweet treats!

 

I've coloured my Digi Stamp Boutique image with my Promarkers and created my sentiment on the computer. My Christmas pudding is made out of scrap paper and has been adorned with red gems and glitter.

 

Pop by the Christmas at Sweet Stampin Challenge blog this month to see how the rest of the DT have featured Santa on their cards! While you're there you can read all about our fab sponsor this month...

Cute and Cuddly and not very tradtional!

Hello there!

Happy Wednesday.....it's lovely to see you!

Soooo...I am here today with a rather late post. This is my June post for Christmas at Sweet Stampin...which should have gone live at the beginning of the month! Silly me...some how I managed to forget completly...what a naughty DT member!!!

Anyway...I am here at last...I have joined the ladies with the mid month inspiration post! So, our theme is cute and cuddly...with a twist...as we'd like to see non-traditional colours on your Christmas cards this month!

 

I love this sentiment! Wish it was true though!

 

I've gone with a blue and brown colour combo - colouring my cheeky monkey with my Promarkers. A little glitter on the image and some faux stitching finishes the card.

So onto this week's challenge at My Time to Craft and its a cute one....we want to see your Santa creations! This is the magical bit of Christmas and I love it! My Brownies were excitedly telling me about their letters to santa recently, they all looked so happy as they chattered away!

Hee, hee, hee!! Isn't it fab??

I've coloured my StampFairy image with my Promarkers and added a lot of glitter to the snow. I've gone with backing paper which might explain why Santa got stuck in the chimney!
