Christmas Tag

I haven't been able to craft that much recently.  Today, I have made a quick Christmas tag in preparation for wrapping the christmas presents.  I feel so much better for having achieved something other than work today!


The image used is from QKR Stampede and has been coloured with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.  I added some ricrac pattern fabric stickers and some baker's twine.

Deck The Halls

I went to write this post last evening but I couldn't get the page to load.  It is finally working again so here I am now to let you know of this month's challenge at Path Of Positivity.  The theme is festivity and our sponsors are Bugaboo and Kitten Scraps.






I have used an image and sentiment from Bugaboo Stamps called  JJ Christmas Cheer - Deck The Halls


I also used a paper from a christmas paper pad by Sugar and Spice Studio.  I added some christmas washi tape.

What do you mean.....

Santa has enough reindeer?  I just love this sentiment and the adorable image that goes with it.  Sadly, this is the last challenge at CHNC Extra.  I've been on the DT since the beginning and will miss this challenge.  Since it is the last challenge, please join us with your christmas makes (not necessarily a card) and send it off with a successful month.

The challenge is sponsored as usual by Bugaboo Stamps.


The image and sentiment that I chose to use for this card is Puppy - Enough Reindeer.



I also used a christmas paper from a paper pad by Rosie's Studio.  I used some glitter cardstock and some dome stickers.

Beccy's Place Month Of Holiday Cards Day 30


This is my final card for the Month of Holiday Cards at Beccy's Place.  Although I have been under pressure to complete all the challenges, I have had a blast this month.  It gave me something other than the issues at work to focus on!



I have followed a tutorial for a Gap Card at Beccy's Place.  I used a scrapbook paper for th base and a textured paper for the inside.  The lettering is cut from glitter cardstock using a die set from Memory Box.  The image is from Beccy's Place and is coloured with copic markers.

Beccy's Place Month Of Holiday Cards Day 28

This card was a bit more of a challenge for the Month of Holiday Cards at Beccy's Place.  I need a bit of "renaming" to fit to the letter Y (yeah I'm at it again Beccy!).  I thought about the way that Yuletide cards are typically displayed in this country (hanging over a rope) and used a fold that fitted!



My Y words:
Young bird - image from Beccy's Place
Yuletide fold - also known as an A-Frame card - tutorial from Beccy's Place
Colours:
Yellow

Colouring is with copic markers.  Paper is a scrapbook paper.  I also added a bow crafted from organza ribbon.

Harvest Night

I am really hoping that I can find more time to create in December as I haven't managed much in November.  So much so that I am really last minute with the progressive challenge at The Outlawz.  Thankfully, I did get it uploaded in time and just need to complete this post!

Beccy's Place Month Of Holiday Cards Day 23

This end of the alphabet for the Month of Holiday Cards at Beccy's Place is more than a little challenging!  I am having to really interpret the folds and/or images to find ones for each letter of the alphabet.  Took a bit of thinking to come up with this image!



My U words are:
Upright Diamond Fold - tutorial by Jen Evers
Uplifting music - carol singing image from Beccy's Place
Colours:
Ultramarine

I used red cardstock for the base.  The papers are from a paper pad by Provocraft.  Colouring is with copic markers.
