The Christmas Kickstart Challenge #19 - Scandinavian Holiday

So, I'm sat at work today when I glance at the clock and think Challenge #19 should be posted now - then I realise that I haven't posted my cards or infact anything on my personal blog! Ooooops, epic fail!

They do say better late than never, so let's just jump right in. There's a new challenge and a new elf; I'm thrilled to be joined by the lovely Michele from I card Everyone.

I'm a huge fan of Michele's fabulous cards and knew I wanted her to be the elf for this challenge as I thought she'd have a ball with the theme... turns out I was totally right! If you do nothing else today you simply must head over and see Michele's stunning inspiration cards for this challenge.

Our Challenge for this fortnight is:

Scandinavian Holiday

My cards

I barely need an excuse to go for a red and white colour combo on a Christmas card.

It turns out that these gorgeous little images look good in multi-colours too!

Once I'd started I couldn't stop playing so here are three further cards for the challenge.

If you like these cute images from Hero Arts you'll be sad to hear that the set is long since discontinued. However, Rudolph has contacts and is giving away a Scandinavian Holiday set as his Randon Raffle Prize for this challenge! Go Rudolph, what a guy!

 

Please come and join Michele and I to play in our Scandinavian Holiday Challenge.

Creative with stamps Challenge #10 - Reminder

I'm back with a mid-month reminder for our current challenge over at Creative with Stamps.

Being a nicely brought-up kinda girl, I always like to send 'thank you' cards for the gifts and goodies I receive over the festive season. Here's one I made using some Lia Griffiths sets from Hero Arts in combination with a Papertrey Ink sentiment.

My CWS buddies have done a great job with their cards, so head on over and take your fill of their fabulous inspiration pieces...

Naughty or Nice Challenge #34 - Reminder

There's late, a little bit late, fashionably late, and very late...

And let's face it, I'm very, very late with this post!

For some unknown reason, I was locked-out from my blog for a few days earlier this week. Everything now seems to be back to normal, so I'm finally able to post my card for the current Naughty or Nice Challenge.

The Troublemakers have created yet more great inspiration cards, so why not drop by and take a look. The current challenge runs until Sunday 25th December.
