Up the wooden hill….

 ……That’s a very old saying, “up the wooden hill”, to bed, 

which sprang to mind when I made this wooden staircase.

Retired Stampin’ Up! Ready for Christmas set was used for these two cards…

I had a spare coastal cabana card base, hence the non traditional colour of this first one.

I love the plate of cookies left out for Santa 😍

for the Merry little Christmas challenge #68 AG

Allsorts Challenge #848 AG. …..a special surprise over there!

I found some snazzy wallpaper for the next one, using more traditional red and green. (Retired SU)

The dog’s outfit is pretty snazzy too…

No stockings tied on the garland this time, but gifts waiting instead,

Sparkles Christmas challenge #184 , gifts

Love to craft #92 AG

Craft challenge #779 Christmas 

I am so glad I managed to get this retired set as it’s so versatile,

and it’s a bit like playing with a doll’s house…..what’s not to love!

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

Take care and see you soon

I’m getting ready for Christmas…

 Don’t worry, I haven’t quite lost my baubles yet!

Although I really don’t want to rush like last year, because I don’t enjoy rushing…

This is a retired set from SU that I really had to have.

I’d been lucky to get the stamp in a sale, and then from a dear friend and upline I got the dies too.

The stamp is Ready for Christmas, the dies are Christmas Staircase thinlits.

I loved this theme from Peace on Earth, so that was my starting point.

I’m taking this one to…..

Peace on Earth #107

Just us girls #813, green/ dies

Colour Hues #128, green and gold

52christmas card Throwdown

Allsorts challenge #844 ribbons and bows (on gifts)

I used some old DSP, stamped the tree, then layered with die cuts.

Stamped and die cut the baubles, then “coloured” them in with stickles and a cocktail stick!

(Pound coin for scale)

I used lots of snippets for both cards

Next is a scene made with old DSP and various elements stamped and die cut.

All SU except the tinsel and baubles here are Gummiapan.

I’m taking this one to

Snippets Playground #527 (see snippets photo)

Enjoy your day
