25 Days of Christmas Tags with Simon Says Stamp

Today I’m VERY excited to be joining in with the annual event hosted by the fabulous Tracey McNeely , the 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  This event is in it’s 5th year now and whilst I have never had the chance to participate before I have loved hopping along in the past seeing so much festive inspiration along the way.  Lots of my favourite companies are sponsoring the event and today it’s the turn of Simon Says Stamp so some of my teamies on the Wednesday Challenge Blog and some from the Monday Challenge Blog (waves!) have created some fabulous tags featuring some FABULOUS Simon Says Stamp products.  I used a great die from one of the releases from last Christmas, Pile of Gifts – it’s still one of my favourites!  I love the combo of cerise pink, black and gold (particularly of the foiled variety!).  This design could be for a birthday, Christmas or even a Valentine!

The holidays are coming….

Ok – it’s still August but for a papercrafter that means it’s time to start thinking about the upcoming festive holidays such as Halloween and Christmas.  I have to admit that this last three months of the year is my MOST favourite season – I love the Autumn, Halloween, 3 of my children (and myself) have birthdays and then IT’S CHRISTMAS!!!  It’s a wonderful time of year in our house.  So in the spirit of the festive season (soon) I have a dainty little Christmas card to share!!

Today also sees the start of a new challenge today over at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Blog and this week theme is everyone’s favourite… ANYTHING GOES!  The design team are featuring products from Memory Box but you don’t have to to enter.

Anything Goes Memory Box

Lately I’ve seen Debby Hughes making lots of cards in a smaller scale (4 bar size) which really appeals to me and is perfect for this little deer die.  I’ve used the Mini Stardust Stencil with some gorgeous silver-glitter sparkle medium with the Leaping Deer die both from Memory Box.  I covered the die cut deer in Versamark and then embossed him in silver fine embossing powder.  The sentiment is from Pretty Poinsettia from Clearly Besotted and is also embossed in silver.

The last 10 Minute Craft Dash of the year!!

Hey everyone!  Lordy – has it been 2 weeks since I posted a card on my blog??  I’ve been so busy these last weeks  but all my Christmas prep is now done and I’m as organised as I can be!  Phew!!  The kids break up from school for the holidays tomorrow so it’s going to be fun all the way to the big day now!

The card I’m sharing {sniff} is my last one as a DT member for the 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge {sob}.  The current DT term is coming to an end and I just want to say a HUGE big thank you to Paulina for giving me the chance to be part of such an awesome team.  The Craft Dash is such a fun concept and I really hope Paulina decides to pick it up again in the new year.CD 32 Anything Goes
