2s4U Christmas Doggy

OMG...I am sooooooo sick of making Christmas cards!  Hopefully this week will finish my list.

I keep forgetting about this little Daisy & Dandelion stamp - got it as a freebie ages ago in a crafty mag.
Coloured him with copic markers and decoupaged his hat.  Added stickles to his hat and to the little snowflake brad.

Winter Wonderland's theme #28 is Ho Ho Ho

Look away now Mum!

This is going to be my Mum's Christmas card, I just love these Kraftin Kimmie images that DottyJo kindly stamped for me. 
Coloured her (and the matching flower) with copic markers and added loads of stickles.  My borders are peel offs that I 'found' in my stash.

LOADS of challenges covered in this one:
Cute Card Thursday #89 is Swirly Girly - make a card for a girl

Our Creative Corner challenge this week is to use the song "12 days of Christmas" - I thought this image looked like one of the 9 ladies dancing

A Spoonful of Sugar #80 is to make a card using non- Traditional Christmas colours - no red or green

Creative Card Crew #39 is Christmas

Sketch from Inspirational Card Sketches #45

The Pink Eelephant #43 want you to use your favourite colouring medium

And Easy Craft Project's first challenge is a colour theme - something Turquoise

US34 Butterfly Thanks

Mum got me these gorgeous pink sparkly butterfly stickers a while ago and I thought they'd be perfect for this weeks sketch at Unscripted Sketches #34.  I just stuck them to some acetate, cut out and then stuck to the card using a blob of clear glue.  Clean and Simple!

Greg's Christmas card

Isn't this little penguin just the cutest!  He's one of Sweet'n Sassy Digis new releases (I think they're coming out next week).  I coloured him with copic markers and popped up the heart and his little beak
I think I'll give this to Greg for Christmas, I actually managed to get it made without him seeing it!

Sketch from The Sweet Stop #33

Stampin for the Weekend challenge #27  is to make a Christmas card and use Red, green and gold

And The Play Date cafe had almost the same colour combo - red, green and white

Its a chilly, dark, drizzly day here in NI - hope you're warm and dry wherever you are!  I'm just off now for my tea - Greg has just knocked us up steak, chips and all the trimmings .... yummy!  Poor wee Ruby's nose is twitching like she hasn't been fed in a fortnight!

CASE'd Snowman

Treehouse Thursday challenge THT026 is to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) Cathleen Torina's gallery - she has a lot of fabulous cards but I chose this one:

Also for Peachy Keen challenge #17 - a recipe to use the following:

• 
  
  polka dot(s) - on my flower
  
  
• 
  
  a border - stickles border on my main image
  
  
• 
  
  stripe(s) - on BP
  
  
• 
  
  stamped image(s) - from Pink Gem Designs
  
  

And finally for this evening .... Ryan's card!

High Hopes challenge #55 is a sketch this week

Rosie D's challenge #59 is Red, Green and a bit of bling!

Polka Doodles #28 wanted 3 different papers and a Rubber Stamp

Incy Wincy Designs #20 is Red & Green

Right, that's me finished for the night ... off to bed now.
BTW I've been so lucky recently - I won Ginny's candy and Kaytee's candy and heard this evening that I won Lacey's Bow maker.  It will be like Christmas when all these goodies arrive ... thank goodness as I'm not holding out much hope for any major hints I've been dropping for crafty Christmas presents to be picked up!

Eimear's card

This little snowman was a freebie download, possibly from Dustin Pike (I really must start writing down where I get the freebies from!)

Sketch from Papertake Weekly #29



Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential SSHP09 is Hats on

More Christmas cards

I don't know about you, but the closer to Christmas it gets, the quicker and simpler my cards become .... think its called panic!

Cuttlebug Spot challenge this week is Winter

Daring Cardmakers is a White Christmas - make a white card with a hint of colour

Sketch from Mojo Monday #115

Meghan's Christmas card

I was asked to make some personalised Christmas cards for some kids, so that's my next four posts.  All really rubbish photos I'm afraid as its pitch black now before I even leave work and my little camera can't cope with the poor light.

Kaboodle Doodle's challenge #19 is Snowflakes

Stamp with Fun #35 is Christmas

Sketch & Stash Snow Dude

Another outing for my little snow dude for the Sketch & Stash challenge #24

Used a charm from my stash which I got a while ago from Bunny Zoe's shop.  I rarely use my charms as (a) I like them too much to used them (!) and (b) they are so fidgety to attach the chain, cracks me up every time

Ribbon is a really old offcut that's been knocking round my craft box for quite a while now, but I thought the colours were good for the DP. 

Also for 2RedBananas Banana Split Sunday which is to make a Winter / Christmas card

Snowman coloured with watercolours; hand stitched border.
