Good Morning Folks :)
It's time for a new challenge at
This week it is the Honey Hazels turn to pick the challenge and she was thinking ...
Christmas in April ?
Lucky for me I love Christmas no matter what time of the year and grabbed the challenge with both hands and ran with it! I did get a few strange looks from hubby this week as I kept emerging from my craft room singing "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know" pmsl! All good though as I think it really helped to get those festive season creative juices flowing.
The lovely folks from Bugaboo Stamps are sponsoring this challenge :)
They also gave the DT some adorable images to play with
and I could not resist using Baby Christmas.
The prize they have so kindly offered is ...
A HUGE SEVEN images ! That is $21 worth!
Thank you Bugaboo Stamps!
My card this week is pretty much self explanatory with what I did. I kept with the vintage shabby style I love to create, used my Spotty Dotty embossing folder and ink distressed the papers, stitched in red and green around each of the layers, added a gorgeous bow and some flowers from my stash. All the supplies in this are from my scraps bucket right down to the matt layers that are actually white card stock that I have colored with Spectrum Noir pens.
Gorgeous Baby Christmas I have colored with Spectrum Noir pens, added some glitter to his jingle jangle hat and I toiled him up in layers with some foam tape to really make him pop out of the card. I think he maybe a unisex image but I think he looks like a boy to me :$ Wow here I am debating the sex of a digital image :$ I so do have to stop drinking so much coffee lol
Anyways, Hazel, the girls and I would all love you all to play along with us this week.
Pop on over, let the girls get you in the festive season with their too gorgeous inspirations and get in that craft room of yours and link up your creation with us!
I hope you like what you see today and thanks for dropping in on me :)
