Christmas Party

It has been ages since I made an easel card but i was inspired to do so by this months Christmas Cards all year round challenge (shaped cards or fancy folds).  This is a bit of a comedy card using a Bugaboo image which I got last week.  I will also enter the card into this weeks ABC Christmas challenge (vivid colours).

Thanks a bunch

I just love the Lily of the Valley cat images.  I made this card using this weeks sketch from Willow Sketchie challenge.

Happy Anniversary

I am trying to be organised and make cards for birthdays and anniversaries which are coming up in the New Year.  I need 3 anniversary cards for Jan and Feb but I'm not sure if I dare send this one now that I have made it, in case the recipients take offence- lol!  I did have fun making it though :-)
I will enter the card into this weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday (sketch) and MAWTT (stitch up- faux stitches) challenges.

Three French Hens

I was away in September and for part of October and so missed R, S and T of the ABC Christmas challenge this year.  I thought I would try and catch up and so this is for T (Twelve Days of Christmas- 3 French Hens) as well as the current V is for vivid challenge.  The image is a new one from Bugaboo stamps that I got with my prize from last weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge- thanks!  I have used the sketch from this weeks challenge for this card.  I will also enter the card into this weeks I love Promarkers (cute) and MAWTT (stitch up- faux stitches) challenges.

My first rocking card

I had never made a rocker card before yesterday but have admired them for a long time on other people's blogs and so thought I'd give it a go.  I will enter this into this weeks I love Promarkers (cute) and this months CCAYR (shaped) and Ready Teddy Go (not square) challenges.

Music Monster

It's a friend's birthday soon and he has just recently moved to Australia and so I needed to make a fairly flat/light card.  I still think this would be better with a bit of dimension, but....
I love these images and just had to get them from Digistamp Boutique.  I will enter the card into this weeks Willow Sketchie (sketch) challenge.

Carols at Christmas

Carol singing owls!  I have used a Willow Designs image for this card.  I tried to keep it plain and simple but ended up adding the ribbon and button.
I will enter the card into this weeks ABC Christmas (vivid colours) and Willow Sketchie (sketch) challenges.

Too purple?

Purple is my cousin's daughter's (who is 18 months old) favourite colours and so I thought I'd make her a purple Christmas card.  Do you think this is too purple??
I will enter the card into this months CCAYR challenge (shaped cards/fancy folds) and this weeks I love Promarkers (cute) and Willow Sketchie (festive sparkle and shine- lots of glitter on this card!) challenge.

Glittery Christmas

I actually probably have more than enough Christmas cards for sending out this year, but I like making them and maybe I can sell a few (?)  Not sure on that one, but in an ideal world...
For this one I have used the sketch from this weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge again.  I will also enter the card into this weeks I love Promarkers (Christmas), Willow Sketchie (theme- Christmas) and ABC Christmas (up to you) challenges.

Traditional/Non traditional

This months CCAYR challenge was either to use a traditional image with non traditional colours or vice versa.  I have been pondering on this for a long time now and I think I may have hit the answer today.  I don't think a dog ice skating is a 'traditional Christmas image' but I have teamed it with green and red colours- traditional: BINGO.
I will also enter this card into this weeks I love Promarkers (Christmas), Passion for Promarkers (pets), Willow Sketchie (sketch and theme- Christmas) and ABC Christmas (up to you) challenges.
