A Spoon Full of Sugar and CCT

This card as for 2 challenges A Spoon Full of Sugar and CCT where the theme is Lilac.

Peace

This card is for Just Christmas and Birthday Cards which has a lovely design for the week. I'm having  another burst at Christmas card making so this was the just beginning! 

Ramblings and Flowers

So I got bored with the old blog layout and will no doubt be playing around with backgrounds from time to time. I also thought I'd put up a pic of some gorgeous flowers. They're too good not to share. Also I'm toying with the idea of buying some basic grey papers. I just love them but I'm aware that I've been buying crafty bits for a while. Maybe I'll use some Christmas money which I've been told will be making it's way here by Santa Mail! Anyway, enjoy the flowers and Happy Tuesday everyone! F x 

Papertake

There have been so many great challenges over the weekend so this was the first one I tackled. It's from Papertake Weekly Challenge.  I liked the overlay of images and used rhubarb memento ink and some ribbons and snowflakes. I recycled some birthday wrapping paper with embossed bubbles which look a bit like baubles!

Sketch Saturday and Lili of the Valley

This card is for 2 blogs Sketch Saturday and Lili of the Valley Sprinkle and Sparkle. I used some fun sparkly paper and an embossed image of Christmas presents with gold emboss powder. I inked the edges with pink then red and added some snowflakes.

OCC Sketch

This card was made for the OCC I like the simplicity of the design and decided to use an embossed Christmas tree outline stamp which worked with the layout.

Cafe Chic!

These cards were made for DCM. This week's challenge was Cafe Chic! I love coffee and brown coloured paper and ribbons so I made two! The papers were K&Co and I used a mix of embellishments and ribbons. I inked the edges with memento rich cocoa ink. 

Dots and Swirls

Presents

Snow and Snowflakes

This is for CCT and the theme this week is Snow and Snowflakes. I've used the new background paper and a reindeer embossed image. 

I found this lovely snowflake in a local craft shop and have been waiting to use it. I love the gems on it.

These flowers are from the lovely Linda at Linnana Designs. She very kindly sent me these gorgeous flower embellishments. I just love them and had to get back to card making! The spotted ones are just so pretty.

Christmas paper

I found these lovely Christmas sheets on ebay. I discovered a host of other craft items but restrained myself from buying more!

Visitors and craft supplies!

We've had a flurry of visitors over the past couple of weeks so I'm a bit behind with blogging and card making. Although, they bought some of my cards which was a surprise and one of our friends brought lots of craft supplies from the UK for Christmas but let me have these ribbons to use now! I love the browns and blues.
