Holly & Ivy Christmas Challenge #52

Hello,

Sorry I've been MIA for a wee while.  I've had some changes to my medication and I've been wiped out again.  Hopefully this is me on the way back to normal again now for a while at least.  Anyway enough about me and on to my card.  There's still some time left if you would like to join in with the Holly & Ivy Christmas Challenge.  As always our theme is 'Anything Christmas Goes'  This time I've used another Magnolia stamp for my DT card and coloured her with Promarkers to match these ancient papers that I've had forever!

Materials used

Magnolia rubber stamp - The Day Before Christmas Noel Tilda

Promarkers

Papermania papers - Honey & Hugs Festive Frolics

Sentiment - LOTV

Cardstock, ribbon, buttons & twine all from stash

Thanks for stopping by, it means a lot to me.

Hugs,

Shona xx

Ribbons & Bows with the Cutie Pies

I'm back again with another (not quite so) late post to share my DT card for the Cutie Pie challenge.  Our theme this time is Ribbons & Bows and of course it must be cute!

Our sponsor this time around is Crafty Ribbons who have a fantastic prize for our lucky winner!

The DT were allowed to use an image of their own for this challenge so I opted for this cute Forever Friends image as I had a baby card to make.  As usual I've coloured with Promarkers.

Materials Used

Digi image - Forever Friends (CD)

Promarkers

Papers - Pebbles Inc Girl Squad

Sentiment stamp - Personal Impressions

Scalloped square nesting dies - Sizzix

Cardstock, ribbon, twine and buttons from stash

Thanks for stopping by.  That's all from me for this evening.

Hugs,

Shona xx

Holly & Ivy Christmas Challenge #51

Hello,

A bit of a late post from me to share my card for the current Holly & Ivy Christmas Challenge where as always we are running an anything Christmas goes challenge.  It's been a hectic few weeks of extra practice and weekends away with my daughter's dancing and cheerleading and I've been feeling a bit frazzled with it all.  Work is also beginning to get busier as it always does around this time of year so I'm a bit more tired than usual.   Just keeping on going as best I can though and trying to make some time to craft and blog.

Anyway, back to my card and this time I've used a fab digi stamp from Bugaboo, I was lucky enough to join their DT as a guest designer last month and it's made me love their designs even more than ever!  I love this cute and quirky looking penguin, especially it's eyes!

Materials used:

Digi Stamp - Bugaboo

Promarkers

Paper - Dovecraft Back to Basics Christmas (Modern)

Sentiment Stamp - LOTV

Cardstock, buttons & twine from stash

I'm popping back again with another post so see you soon.

Hugs,

Shona xx
