Merry Christmas

 

Hello and Welcome

I have made a start on Christmas cards and this is one of them

I diecut the snowman (Creative Expressions) from a strip of white card and adhered to my cardbase which had some snowflake paper attached

The scarf and nose had a touch of red marker and the black is marker as well

I attached a sentiment outlined with the marker

Welcome

I almost forgot that I wanted to enter the Allsorts challenge with this card.

I am not sure where I got this background from, as it was in my box of 'ready to use' pieces.

The stamps I think are indigo blu and I used a pretty piece of lace across the middle

Surfing Santa

 Welcome

Nothing for a month, then 2 in a row!

I have an excuse though, I have had a couple of hospital stays, but no pacemaker required yet, although could happen in the future

I used a lot of scraps from my scrap folder to cut out this surfing Santa, and will be sending it to my Aussie grandsons who are keen surfers. All cut out on my Sillhouette Cameo

Sympathy

 

Hello and welcome

Today's card was made using a Stampin Up stamp from the Asian Artistry set.

I have kept it very CAS and coloured the bird to match the base card, which has the front cut on a curve.

It looks like I had better clean my scanner, as those marks are not on the card, so will have to 'Google' what to use for cleaning!

'Good Shot'

 

Hello and welcome back

One of my grandsons has his 15th birthday next week, so I decided on a basketball theme as this is the sport he plays.

I cut the ball and the person on my Sillhouette, and stamped the sentiment ( from Paperbabe Stamps) in orange to match and then used clear detail EP to give it a lovely sheen
