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.

Ho, ho, ho!

Hello there...fancy seeing you here!

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

Well, I have to say although I was a little resitant to the idea a couple of weeks ago...I am now well and truely looking forward to Christmas! Yes, I've said it out loud...I love Christmas! I've already eaten some stollen...I've indulged in a little mulled wine and yes I have watched a couple of Christmas movies already!! My sister Lorna would be rolling her eyes right now if she was reading this...we still have her Birthday and Mum's Birthday to go before Christmas!!

Anyway, this week's challenge over at My Time to Craft is just what the doctor ordered after my hectic week at work! Our theme is Vintage Christmas...not only do I get to indulge my love of Christmas...I also get to add a little bit of vintage!! Woo hoo!

Here is my creation for you.....

 

Isn't that image fab?? Its taken from a vintage Christmas card....the original card was damaged and so I couldn't use it, instead I decided to recycle the image from the front. I've used traditional reds and greens and the gorgeous holly paper for the background and added my Christmas greeting. I'm really pleased with this card!
