Peace on Earth

Happy Saturday to you all.  Sorry I’ve been very quiet on my blog lately – it’s been a difficult time for our family with the very sad loss of my lovely father-in-law a couple of weeks ago.  He was a very special guy and is going to be so missed by us all.

Peace on earth (1)Today I’m sharing a card I made a couple of weeks ago that’s basically another version of THIS one!  I quite like this design and it has LOADS of options to change it up – might be a mass production candidate for this year’s holiday cards!

Right, off to get ready – we’re heading to the cinema to see the Hunger Games: Catching Fire this afternoon (v. excited!!).

Hopefully be back to share some more projects again very soon.

Better late than never!

ChallengeHello, sorry I’m sharing this a wee bit late but as they say, rather late than never. The November Challenge over at Clearly Besotted kicked off yesterday with a festive CHRISTMAS theme.  My card features the gorgeous poinsettia from Pretty Poinsettias and I’ve layered it a bit and coloured it with Copics.  The sentiment is a couple of Memory Box dies that I’ve coloured in a two-tone effect, again with Copic markers.

10 Minute Craft Dash #29 – two for the price of one!!!

CD_29It’s time for another 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge and this time round Paulina’s asking us to feature buttons.  I have SO MANY BUTTONS but they’re not something I use all that much.  Guess this is the perfect challenge to use those supplies that we all have lurking in our cupboards and drawers!

I actually made two cards for this challenge and both were done in super-quick time – especially the second one – just over three minutes!!In Stiches Snowflake button

I’m really whizzing through these Christmas cards – have a good wee stack sitting there now!

The sponsor this time round is Denami Design who are offering one lucky winner a $20 store credit – woohoo!  Head over to Paulina’s blog Pretty Pink Posh for all the deets and for more button inspiration!
