And I’ve made one more Christmas card to add to the pile!  I’m trying to get as many done as I can at the moment so I don’t run out (like I did last year!!).  I’ve used the memory Box Country Landscape die and added some snow with white flower soft – another product I’ve dusted off after forgetting I even owned it!!

Thanks for stopping by.

Dreaming of a white Christmas.

This is my second post today – get me!!!  Scroll down for my other post (if you want to that is!!)

So last night I had a play with more October release goodies from Clearly Besotted.  This time with Pretty Poinsettias.  They’re stamped, embossed, die-cut and then stickled to within an inch of they’re life!!!  The background is created with a stencil and some translucent embossing paste so it has a lovely shine to it too. Too busy???

The “Less is More Challenge” is being sponsored by Clearly Besotted this week and the challenge is “White on White” so I thought I’d share this card with the girls over there (although if you’re reading this – please don’t include me in the prize draw – I have ALL the stamps and dies!!!).  I’ve only just discovered this challenge so will hopefully play along again in the future.

I’m also sharing it over at Simon says Stamp’s Wednesday Challenge which is to use stamps and ALSO happens to be showcasing Clearly Besotted!

Thanks for visiting,

Case-ing Elena!

Thought I’d have a go at playing along with this week’s Case Study Challenge – it’s been a while since I had the chance and as this month’s Muse is Elena (whom I adore!!) – I couldn’t not join in, could I?

case studyHere’s our inspiration this week:

CSC161_zps97dc38daI was drawn to a few things on Elena’s card – the red bow, the aqua and red colour scheme and the shape of the headscarf (??) – all very cute!

I’m also linking this to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge as I’ve used an SSS stamp set for the greeting!

Ok, better get the housework done I suppose – wish I could sit and craft all day!

Hugs,
