Surf, Sand & Summer

Hello again...

Well in my recent wanderings around blogland I discovered another Christmas card blog named ‘tis the season’ and this week they had a photo inspiration of a beach with some ornaments.

I decided to participate in this challenge as Christmas falls in our summer time.

I think I have a warped sense of humour too, seeing that I chose a beach Christmas and snowflake design paper ;-)

Here is my card:

What I used:

Kate Hadfield digi set “Sunny Santa” two images

Derwent & Faber Castell pencils

Memory Box Dies- Holiday Hats

MFT- Dienamics- Party Banner

M-press Die Squares

Steel ruler and Stanley Knife

Scrap red and white card

Home for Christmas Paper Pad (Pebbles)
Doodlebug Design North pole

Card Blank 10.5cm x 15cm

I created my own digi sentiment- Christmas Day the Aussie way (a line from Aussie Jingle Bells)

I would like to enter this card in:

Crafty Hazelnut Christmas Extra- Always Christmas

Bird Brain Christmas II

Hello again…

Well as I am trying to keep on top of Christmas card making for this year I am back playing along with the lovely ladies over at Case-ingChristmas where each week a member of their design team create a card for us to case. This week the lovely Pat made this gorgeous little penguin card to case, for the second week running I have decided to take my inspiration from the layout of Pat’s card.

Here is Pat’s card:

Now on to my version…

What I used:

White card blank (10.5cmx15cm)

Red card stock

Red/White stripe paper Bo Bunny ‘Elf Magic’

Poinsettia Paper- Pebbles ‘Home for Christmas’

Red glitter card

White card stock

Ribbon from $2 shop

Small update, I took a second pic this afternoon and made it a close up so you can see the fairy paint 'snow' on the roof

Joy to the world...

Hello again...

Today I have created a card for the current challenge over at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge, "Christmas Singing" over the last few nights I have been colouring some Tiddly Inks digi stamps while watching TV. I just happened to have the perfect image, ready to go.

I have used Wryn goes Carolling which I coloured with Derwent pencils. I have used a layout I had saved from somewhere on the web, origin unknown. Flowers and leaves die cut from scrap papers.
