Holly and the wedding

Friends getting married at Christmas - what a super excuse to make a Christmas related wedding card.
Isn't it amazing how the colours look different with the flash - but I wanted to show off all the holly related papers, so I've shared one with and one without.



The image is from Tiddly Inks.  I love it and is just so nice to colour.

This is going in to the following challenges:

Clean and Simple at Creative Corner
Gold and White at Sketchy Colors (and a little bit of crafty red and grey)

Thanks as always for downing your crafting tools.

Less windy wishes would be more appropriate.

What a horror of a wet and windy December we're having here in the UK.  Great for card making, not so great for anything else.

I'm using this lovely image from A Random Fan again.  She's just lovely.





The sketch is number 227 from Sketch Saturday. 


So as well as Sketch Saturday, this one is going in to the following too:

Thanks for downing your crafting tools for a wee while.

A winter's birthday

Isn't it great when you can make your own cards and add a seasonal twist to suit the month ?
This digi has quickly gone in to my favourite list.  She's from A Random Fan.

The sketch is this one from Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  Thank you.



And this is my card...




So as well as the sketch challenge, this one is going in to these as well:
Anything but Christmas at Allsorts
Summer or Winter at The Squirrel & The Fox
Spots and Stripes at Crafty Ribbons (gem spots)
A touch of frost at Fab'n'Funky (check out my frosty snowflakes)

Thanks for downing your crafting tools for a while.

From one winning card to another...

I ran a handmade Christmas card competition this week and the managers judged them.  This one got second place, which will do just nicely, and what with winning over at Sassy Cheryl's last week, well I feel good.

Talking of Sassy Cheryl, I used another of her digis for this one:




The sketch is courtesy of Sketch and Stash.  My Christmas trees were my neglected stash.  I've had them for years and found them when I was looking for something else.


 So in to the following challenges for this as well as Sketch and Stash.

Red and Green at Sketchy Colours
Anything Goes at Sassy Cheryl's
Feeling Festive at Divas by Design
Traditional Christmas at Creative Corner

Thanks for downing your crafting tools to take a look.

I'm pleased to say I found the time for making this one though.  This is using a digi from Sassy Cheryl.






The sketch is this from Sketch and Stash.
