GDT Christmas With The Cuties - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town!

Hello,

I've just popped on the pc to share my GDT Card for Christmas With The Cuties.  I was lucky enough to be asked back for a second stint as a guest designer again this month.  The theme this time is 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' so we'd love you to share your projects featuring your cutest images of the big man in red himself!  We also have a fab sponsor for the challenge - Di's Digi Downloads.

I've gone with another Crafts U Print image for my card which I've coloured with Promarkers.

Materials Used:

Digi image - Crafts U Print

Promarkers

LOTV Sentiment Stamp

Trimcraft Dear Santa paper 

Cardstock, buttons & twine from stash

Thanks for stopping by, have a great week and remember to join us if you can!

First Birthday Card

Good morning,

I hope you are all well in the run up to the festive season.  This morning I'm sharing a card I made a few weeks back for a first birthday.  I've got a handful of cards I've not yet blogged so hopefully I'll get a chance to do that in the next couple of weeks.

I've followed a layout similar to the Forever Friends Christmas card I blogged a few weeks back but this time I've also added some kraft cardstock which I think works quite well.  I love this LOTV image and have used it a lot for first birthday cards!

Materials used:

LOTV stamp

Promarkers

Personal Impressions sentiment stamp set

Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Antique Linen

Simply Creative Flower Girl 6x6 papers

Trimcraft number dies

Cardstock, buttons and twine from stash

Thanks for dropping in.  Hope you have a fantastic weekend.

Hugs,

Shona xx

Holly & Ivy Christmas Challenge #19

Hi there,

Another scheduled post from me today.  I'm here to share my DT card for the Holly & Ivy Christmas Challenge.  As always the challenge is 'Anything Christmas Goes' and we'd love you to join us and share all your Christmas crafting!

This time I've gone for a fun chihuahua image by Gordon Fraser I found over at Crafts U Print - it will be perfect for my sister in law and her partner who have a chihuahua calld Elvis!  It's not a website I've used before but I needed something recently for a particular theme and had to spend £5 before I could check ut my basket so it was rude not to stock up with a few items!

Materials used:

Digi image by Gordon Fraser at Crafts U Print

Promarkers

LOTV papers and sentiment stamp

EK Success paw print border punch

Button & twine from stash

That's all from me just now.

Thanks for stopping by, hugs,

Shona xx

Bear Hugs with the Cutie Pies

Good morning,

A scheduled post from me today.  Who is like me and can't quite believe we're almost half way through November already?!  It's Monday again too but why not cheer yourself up and join us for another fantastic challenge with the Cutie Pies.  Our theme is 'Bear Hugs' and I've gone down the Christmas card route again just because it's getting near that time but it doesn't have to be, it can be for any occasion just as long as it features a cute character (in this case a bear) or more!

I've used a cute image from 2 Cute Ink for my DT card.

Materials used:

Cinnamon Bear Loves Poinsettias Digi - 2 Cute Ink

Promarkers

Nitwits Merry & Bright papers

LOTV sentiment stamp

Cardstock, button & twine from stash

Our Challenge Owner Lisa has provided a gorgeous set of stmps for the lucky winner so even more reason to come and join us!

That's all from me just now, take care and wrap up warm these mornings are starting to get chilly!

Hugs,
Shona xx

Holly & Ivy Challenge #18

Good morning,

Hope you're all having a fantastic weekend.  I'm (rather lately) sharing my DT card for the Holly & Ivy Christmas Challenge.  As always the challenge is 'Anything Christmas Goes' and we'd love you to join us and share all your Christmas crafting!

It's been a bit of a mad week for me.  I was at the Craft and Christmas Show at SEC Glasgow last Saturday - my first but definitely not last time, oh the bargains!!! Sunday was the usual dancing taxi service as well as a Halloween disco.  I had to bake Sunday afternoon and Monday evening and Tuesday was Halloween itself.  Craft club on Wednesday then a bit quieter the next 2 evenings then out for the local fireworks display and pizza last night.  Inbetween times working full time and trying to keep up with the usual housework.  It's been a bit of a whirlwind!

Ok, back to my card.  Because of the recent time constraints I've made a very quick and simple card for the challenge.  I quite like the way it's turned out though!

Materials used:

Crafter's Companion Centura Pearl Cardstock in Old Gold

Kraft Cardstock

X-cut Filigree Christmas Star Die

Docrafts Create Christmas Glittered Wooden Sentiment

That's all from me just now, I'm away back on the hamster wheel!

Hugs,

Shona xx
