2nd christmas card of the day!!

This is another card that came to me while in the garden yesterday!! The image is the first stamp that I have bought from Lily of the Valley and I love it. The stamp is so clear and easy to use and so easy to colour. I know that it is typically a birthday image but I have adapted it to make it more of a Christmas card for my niece Victoria. It is her 1st Christmas this year and I'm so pleased with the way that this has turned out. The background paper is again from Bo Bunny's Christmas papers from last year. I'm entering it into 2 different challenges - Less is More (Ribbon and/or buttons) and Secret Saturday Crafter (Numbers)






holly and the ivy

I've had this inkadinkadoo stamp for ages and never really found the correct paper or use for it and yesterday while sitting in the sunshine it came to me!! (I know a christmas card while I'm sitting enjoying the summer!!!!!) I think that it will be perfect for my grandmother, I need a greeting for it but I am not sure how to finish it off. The paper is last year's Bo Bunny's St Nick Sleigh (I love Bo Bunny papers and if you haven't checked out their blog and their website they are amazing!!) and the ribbon is one that I got from a set from Studio 24. I am going to enter it ito this weeks challenge at Winter Wonderland which is "The Holly and the Ivy"

no pink or blue

Hi people I've had major camera issues recently so not been able to upload any pics until now (got a new phone !! seeing as I still cant find my camera charger!!) anyway I'm really pleased with this card that I made for one of my best friends 21st. My crafting mojo still isnt completlely back but I'm getting there. She is pregnant with her first baby at the moment so she couldnt enjoy it as much as she would have like too, Lol!!! I think that the black and red makes it a really dramatic card. The image is a Greeting Farm stamp and I die cut the numbers with my beloved cuttlebug. I'm entering it into this weeks theme at Crafty Catz Weekly challenge which is no blue or pink
