Penguins

Good evening

First can I apologise for being a bad blogger these last few weeks.  Unfortunately at the moment work and general life is leaving very little time for crafting etc.  

Anyway a few week's ago Squirrel launched the GREAT PENGUIN CHALLENGE OF 2014 and this was one challenge my son said I had to enter.  (Since he was a baby he has loved penguins.)  I have one of two (okay maybe more!!) penguin images so it was a difficult decision to pick an image to use.  In the end I decided to use one of my newest stamps.

I've used Penguin Pals by LOTV which was coloured with Copic pens.  The papers are from the Frosty Christmas Paper Pad  and the sentiment is from the Christmas Sentiments Set (Set 32) also by LOTV.

The snowflakes are Martha Stewart punches and the pom pom trim is from the Ribbon Girl. Pearls and ribbon are from my craft box.  

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Squirrel's World of Craft : The Great Penguin Challenge of 2014
Papertake Weekly : Oh How Cute
Cute Card Thursday : Dies and/or Punches
ABC Christmas Challenge : S for Something Festive
Lili of the Valley Monthly Challenge : Pretty Papers

For a change I decided to make a 'Z' fold card.

Scandinavian Style at Winter Wonderland

Good morning

Wow get me, a post two days running.  Today I'm here with my DT card for the new challenge over at Winter Wonderland and this week the theme is:

Scandinavian Style

(we want to see reindeer, hearts, snowflakes, red and white)

Now this is a different style of card for me - not a stamp or digi image in site!  The paper is Nordic Christmas  from First Edition and the scalloped circle is a Spellbinder's die.  The deer is from Deer Trio Die by Memory box.  The snow effect was created by dapping Snow-Tex onto a piece of card. 

The sentiment is from Set 35 - Christmas Handwritten Phrases by LOTV and the ribbon and rhinestones are from my craft box.

This week we are being sponsored by Oyster Paper Crafts who are offering the winner a £10 voucher

Please pop on over to the Winter Wonderland blog to see some fabulous inspiration from the design team.
