Playful Penguin and more Baubles

 I made this fancy fold from an idea of Kim Fee (I think!)

A quick fun card

That opens to reveal another penguin friend

I then needed yet another card, so copied my Snippets one recently,

this time adding big pearly sparkly  Opal Rounds

and some natural twine

Deck The Halls at the Snippets Playground

Today's card is for a very special occasion over at Pixie's Crafty Workshop

where there is a special christmas challenge

Pixie's Snippets Playground - Challenge #418 

Lots of super prizes if you enter with a christmas themed project using snippets

I'd seen an idea, that sparked an idea in my head. I sat down to try it out. and one of those rare moments I was pleasantly surprised at how it turned out. As ever, it's better in real life, honest!

Step one, glue strips of designer series paper snippets to some spare card or copy paper. (See below).

Then stamp and cut out your images, in this case, using a Punch.

I then stamped a bough to hang my baubles, glued them in place,

added sentiment, some metallic pearls, and gold bows from snippets of thread.

I matted it onto another snippet of paper to give a nice border.

I then used another snippet of paper to decorate the envelope flap, and stamped the same images.

I do hope you'll join in! There'll be mulled wine and sausage rolls up in the Tree House,

Maybe even mince pies?! That's as long as Miss Di and Dudley don't eat them all haha.

See if you can win the keys to the Playground.

Happy Christmas to you and yours

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
