Christmas Bows

Hello there,

Welcome back to my crafty blog, I hope you're well today.

Today I am back with the first challenge of the year from Christmas at Sweet Stampin - if you want to get ahead with your Christmas card collection for this year why not join us? All you need to do is follow the theme and of course use a stamp on your creation.

So what's the theme I hear you say....this month it's Bows. We also have a rather fab sponsor this month called Robyn's Fetish, who not only is providing our prize but also some lovely digi images for the DT to play with.

I picked a rather cheerful looking Rudolph image for my card.....

Isn't he a cutie? 

I have no idea why I have gone with a blue theme for this card.....nor why I have featured snowflakes....but the sparkle makes me smile and I am pleased with how the final card looks. 

I have coloured my little Rudolph with my Promarkers. 

Pop by the Christmas at Sweet Stampin challenge blog for more inspiration from the fab DT this month. While you're there you can also see the fab prize on offer from Robyn's Fetish.

Cute and Cuddly Christmas Animals

Hello there!

Me again! This time I am back with a new challenge for you from My Time to Craft and this week we have a fab Christmas challenge for you....we'd like to see your creations featuring cute and cuddly Christmas animals.

Now I thought long and hard about this theme...did I want to use a cute bear all wrapped up...or maybe some rabbits playing in the snow? Then it struck me...what's cute and cuddly and features Christmas animals....most of my Christmas jumpers! Now I'm a sucker for a good Christmas jumper, I have a nice collection of woolly ones....this year however I also have two cute stamp Christmas jumpers!

 

Hee, hee! Now isn't that a cute and cuddly Christmas animal?? I love this stamp so much, it just makes me smile! This card is a custom order for someone I work with, hence the name on the front.

 

I've stamped my image and added the colour with my Promarkers....plus of course Rudolph needed a sparkly nose! The background is made up of plain red and green paper and a little homemade holly - simple, but very festive!

 

For more inspiration pop by the My Time to Craft challenge blog and see all the cute and cuddly animals that the fab DT used on their cards.

Happy Sunday!

Hello everyone...wow its cold out there!
I decided to spend some quality time with Joe this weekend, so I went to his garage for a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon and Joe let me loose on his Skyline....now this car is his pride and joy so I was a little nervous to say the least! He let me do some bodywork on the rear wheel arches, and I have to say i really enjoyed it!
I've got a couple of cards to share with you....first off a sparkle and shine card for this week's challenge over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge:

Yes, its that stamp again! My sister requested a masculine thank you card, so I opted for a black and white colour combo with my favourite stamp! I've used lots of glitter for the tree...black, silver and white...I'm not sure that this picture does it justice!

The second card I have for you is a Christmas card for the Bah Humbug challenge - Rudolph the Reindeer...

I love this cute little fellow....he has appeared on lots of my Christmas cards this year! I've used a simple green backing paper with some sparkly snowflakes for the background. I then created my Rudolph from brown paper and some fab stripy paper for his antlers. I've added a cheeky smile and most importantly a big red nose! Guaranteed to make you smile!

Right, I'm off...I want my bed....it's a busy week for me this week and I think I'll need every wink of sleep I can get!

Thanks for stopping by today,

R is for.....

....a very cheeky Rudolph! Hee, hee!

Morning Everyone...I've still got this rotten cold! Thank you for everyone's well wishes. I'm hoping this cold will disappear magically overnight, I'm spending the bank holiday weekend in Ledbury with my sister and her hubby...yes, I know I'm playing gooseberry, but to be honest it never feels like that with those two. I'm really looking forward to it, so I hope I'm feeling a bit better.

So, whats this about a cheeky Rudolph I hear you ask...well the the current challege over at ABC Christmas Challenge is "R is for Rudolph". The DT have all created gorgeous cards featuring out favourite red nosed reindeer. Here is mine....

I love this design for Christmas cards, I used it quite a bit last year as I think the Rudolph looks fab peeking out of the corner of the card. I usually use a plain coloured background, but I decided to try a patterned paper this time and I think it looks good. I always add a little glitter glue to the nose to make it stand out a little more.

Right, I better get going...work is calling.

Thank you for stopping by today.
