Christmas...but not traditional colours!!

Hello there...fancy seeing you here again today!

This is my second post for today...if you are looking for my Sweet Stampin blog please scroll down!

Sooo....it was fab to see all your snowpeople over at My Time to Craft last week! This week we've got another Christmas challenge...but this time we don't want to see any tradtional colours!! Get your thinking caps on.....

 

I love these bright colours...perfect on a miserable grey December day! I think they kind of remind me of Christmas lights! Anyway, I've coloured my fab penguin image with my Promarkers and have added some gloss to his hat using my glossy accents.

Hello there!

Happy Saturday! Hope you've had a fab week!

Sooo....did you see that we launched a fab new challenge blog this week as part of Sweet Stampin?? We will now celebrate Christmas every month of the year with our fab challenge blog ....Christmas at Sweet Stampin! Launching officially in 2013, this will be a monthly Christmas challenge blog and we wanted to start the fun a little early with an anything goes challenge! Pop over to the blog to meet the team and join the fun!

We also have a new challenge for you over at Sweet Stampin this week....we'd like to see your projects which features dies and/or punches this week. Here is my card....

 

Its a bit of a shame really as you can't really see my punches...but I promise they are there!! I have gone with a simple colour scheme for this cute card...colouring my image with my Promarkers and adding some sparkle to the snow with my Stickles. I have then added some punched snowflakes that have been coated liberally with more glitter!!

How Exciting!!

Good Morning All!

Soooo...if you popped by yesterday you'll know that I was going to a local Christmas market last night with my sister and mum. Well, it turns out that we were a little early....in fact we were a whole week early! I had dragged my poor sister and mum on the train to Farnham for no reason at all! Luckily they saw they funny side....we still had dinner and a thoroughly nice evening! What am I like??

Well, I told you I was in the Christmas spirit....and what a way to show it....today we have the first (unofficial) challenge for you over at Christmas at Sweet Stampin! This is a fab new monthly challenge blog, brought to you by the fab ladies over at Sweet Stampin! We were due to launch in 2013...but we can't contain our excitiment and decided to bring you our first challenge a month early!!

This month we have a special "anything goes" challenge....next year we will bring you a different Christmas challenge each month...but we thought we'd start off easy!

Here is my card....

 

I love this cute Digi Stamp Boutique image.....isn't he fab??

 

I've coloured my image using my Promarkers and have added some sparkle to the snow using my Stickles. I have also added some shine to the huge snow ball, using some glossy accents.

Pop by the Christmas at Sweet Stampin blog to meet the team and see what everyone has created this week...there are some fab projects!

Christmas without red or green!

Hello there! Happy Tuesday!

Its lovely to see you today...I hope you are keeping well! So, its the beginning of December and I am definitly enjoying the Christmas spirit! I am visiting a big Christmas market with my mum and sister tonight and I can't wait! After the fair we'll go for some dinner too, its a lovely tradition that we have started in recent years.

So, another Tuesday means its time for a new challenge over at Celebrate the Occasion....and this week we're flying in the face of tradition! We'd like to see your Christmas creations...but you cannot use any red or green on your card anywhere!!

I've opted for a modern sentiment to go with my modern Christmas card.....

 

I love this sentiment...it always makes me giggle!! I've opted for pinks and blues for my card, along with that fab Merry Christmas backing paper.

 

My cute DigiStamp Boutique image has been coloured with Promarkers and I've asdded a little sparkle to her shopping bags with my Stickles. A simple, but pleasing card I think!

Time for some snowmen.....

Hello there...Happy Saturday!

Hope you've had a fab week!

Soooo...have you seen that wonderful advert with the snowman and his girlifriend??As you may be aware I LOVE christmas....and I'm a sucker for a good advert...especially at Christmas time and those snowpeople are soooo cute!!

Anyway, over at My Time to Craft this week we have a fab new challenge...we'd like to see your projects featuring snowmen...so you better get watching that advert!!

The fab DT have come up with some wonderful creations this week, and here is my card.....

 

To match my cute Pollycraft snowman I have gone with non-traditional Christmas colours....opting instead for some snowy blues and whites! I've gone for a blue background, topped with gorgeous polka dot backing paper. Across the middle is some pretty white punched paper, and I've also added some faux stitching to the edge and some fab snowflakes.

 

My image has been coloured with my Promarkers and I have been very liberal with the Stickles....there is glitter snow on the image and the snowflakes have been coated in glitter too!!

 

I'd also like to enter this card in the following challenges:
