Last Push Friday - Again!

I made a resolution to not leave my Christmas cards to the last minute this year, but it seems like I fell at the first fence. I really wanted to enter Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge last week as it was downloads, and I'd got this fab couple of sheets from Art From The Heart last year. But as usual I left it too late...
BUT this weeks challenge is 'creatures' so I'm still OK :o) My apologies for the rubbish photo but I've tried it all over the house and this is the best I can do.
The backing papers are all AFTH, and the card is 8x8. The sentiment is printed on Safmat and says 'To the rest of the world we are a normal family' Definitely one for my sister next Christmas.
I'm also entering this into Winter Wonderland's challenge which is 'It's begining to look a lot like Christmas', and Sketch Saturdays sketch challenge.
Thanks very much for looking and have a great weekend x

A 3fer Christmas Card

 

Wayhey it's the middle of January and I'm still sticking to my resolution to be more organised next Christmas.  My Christmas card has been made using the Penny Black stamp of hedgehogs (ahhh) with Paws for the Winter Wonderland challenge. I've also used the Penny Black  recipe, and used patterned paper, 3 buttons, twine and a charm. and finally the design is from Sketch Saturday (this is turning into an Oscar acceptance speech, and here I am sitting in my nighty :o)  ) I've had these papers for a couple of years and can't remember where they came from, but the colours are really fresh and cheerful. Hedgie's have been coloured in Prisma and Promarkers with the obligatory Christmas glitter.

The buttons have been cut using a Martha Stewart punch, this is really nice 'cos it embosses and cuts the thread holes at the same time.

I really liked making this card, just hopes the glue hangs in there till Christmas!

Thanks very much for looking and enjoy your Sunday x

She Was A Girly Girl

Here's a card I've made for the Stampotique (Girly Girl), Basic Grey (Wings) and Sketch Saturday challenges. The background paper is by Blonde Moments, and is so vibrant in real life.

I've dressed Marcy in Colour Me Silly, and the buttons are Urban Prairie.

Marcy's wings are by Heidi Swapp, and her crown is again by Blonde Moments.

Thanks very much for looking - now I have to go and iron :o(. Enjoy what's left of the weekend x
