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...

Wishing you a Krafty Christmas!

Hello there!

Happy Wednesday! It's hump day....and that means that after today I only have two days of work left until my week's annual leave is here! Woo hoo! I am so looking forward to having some time off...can you tell?? I'm lucky enough to have lots of plans and so I'm really wishing the days away this week! I'm off to a day spa with Becca, then Joe and I are spending a couple of days on the Isle of Wight...then I'm having a 1950s themed birthday party!

Anyway, I'm not here to bore you with my plans.....no I'm here to tell you about this month's challenge over at Christmas at Sweet Stampin! This month we'd like to celebrate a Krafty Christmas.....with cards or projects featuring kraft paper!

I like using kraft on my projects and so I really enjoyed making this card....

 

I've gone with traditional red and greens to go with my Kraft...which I've used as a card base and a panel in the background. I've coloured my cute image with my Promarkers, adding a little sparkle to the snow with my Stickles. I've added a sentiment and finally some faux white stitches.

Santa's Coming!

Hello there! Happy Saturday!

I hope you've had a fab week! Soooo....this is another scheduled post from me...hopefully I'm currently packing and moving lots of boxes!!

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!

I have the perfect image for this challenge....it always makes me smile....

 

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!
