Hello again,
Here's a card I made for our Mum,
it's meant to represent mysELF and my two sisters....
I wanted to make her smile, having lost her husband, our dad, in January, and it did the trick.
I think the sentiment fitted as well. Something that can be difficult under these circumstances.
I used Beautiful Boughs as well as #Elfie stamp sets.
Above is a close up of the pines and some details.
I then did a similar one for my hairdresser.......
this time there were four elves and some presents hiding in the boughs
Such a cute set, and so adaptable.
I managed to fussy cut so that the one hiding his face appears behind the big parcel.
Lots of die cutting and fussy cutting but I really had fun with these,
and it's a great chance to use scraps or snippets of card.
I'm entering a few challenges this time, all these blogs are fab and full of inspiration.
My favourite Snippets Playground can be found HERE, where the theme is snippets.
Then Hazel runs an anything goes challenge HERE.
Allsorts also have an anything goes challenge HERE.
So, here we are on Christmas Eve.
May you have a peaceful christmas, with everything you wish for,
and with special memories of those you've loved and lost.
Happy Christmas everyone
lots of love
Lesley

ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely adorable Lesley! What a great idea to combine the elves with the Beautiful Boughs set and to make them represent you and your siblings. I'm so sorry you lost your dad earlier this year and I think you're right about this sentiment - wishing you special moments and happy memories too this Christmas.
