Big and Bold Snow

 Hello again,

We have some relief from the hot weather, and the garden is glad we had some rain too!

I have another Christmas card today, using Uniko Big and Bold Snow

I stamped the background in three blue colours (one or two are a green blue),

mounted it onto navy card then onto white base card.

I love the bold sentiments…..dashing stamped in navy, mounted onto navy card.

Snow outline also navy, the inner blended with the same inks as before.

I’m entering the following:

UNIKO has a fabulous challenge, with some great giveaways.

NBUS, #76 as I’ve not used this set before, even though I’ve had it a while.

Christmas kickstart #100, “round”, hoping snowflakes fit, but I’ve also added three round gems.

Christmas cards all year round, blue

12 months of Christmas, anything goes 

Thanks for taking the time to visit, and I really appreciate your comments

Take care and see you soon

Nostalgic Christmas

 Hi, I hope you’re doing ok.

I’m looking forward to Tuesday, when hopefully I can relax a bit!

A kind friend gave me a couple of old paper sets that can be combined to make a card.

I don’t know exactly where they’re from but I know they’re from an established company.

This was my favourite….

You get a thumbnail picture of a finished layout to copy.

I just distressed the layers a bit, and added extras like the gold stars.

The poinsettia Robin one is pretty too…

Very different style for me, but I enjoyed putting them together.

Christmas Tree scene

 I have some NBUS (Never-Before-Used-Schtuff! )

So, having got all my cards done, I found some time for this…

I wanted to practice some scene building, so kept the colours quite soft

I did an envelope to match, something I often forget…

I’m entering the following challenges

Lots of Tags

Today I’m sharing one of my lovely Christmas gifts.

I am so lucky to have a group of friends come to one of my classes, that club together.

One of the things I love as well, is that one of them makes a gift box, and they all make a tag.

As you can see below, the box is beautiful. 

The following pictures show the tags, seven in all.

Someone had the unenviable task of tying them all to the box!

I am truly blessed.
