Happy Christmas!

Good evening everyone. Tonight I have a card that I've just made for the Anyone for Anya challenge. I might be too late to enter but I love this sweet image and I thought it fitted well with the sketch from Paperplay.

I coloured the image with Promarkers as usual and added stickles to her muff, coat, scarf and boots - fake fur! I added strips of the DP for fake ribbon. The DP is the lovely Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses which I just got the other day. I added brads to the flowers and sprayed them with Glimmer Mist - think I may have overdone that lol! The sentiment is from Craftwork cards. These sentiments are really handy at this busy time of year. I finished with some little jewels and brads from my stash.

Challenges:-

Anyone for Anya :- fake fur and ribbon.

The Pink Elephant challenge :- something plaid, any number of brads and no ribbon.

Paperplay :- sketch.

It's still early so I think I'll see what else I can do tonight. Still a long way to go as far as Christmas cards are concerned. I really need to find something that is quick to do but still looks impressive! I'm pretty sure that a lot of people I send cards to would be quite impressed by any card that was hand made. I know that sounds bad but I'm sure you know what I mean.

Feel free to comment. I like to know what you think of my work and I'd like to visit your blogs and see what you've been doing and I can only do that if I know you've been here.

Blue Christmas.

Hi girls, I started making a card this afternoon but didn't make much progress before tea - thanks Tesco!


By the time I got back to it I realised that it was too late for the Colour Create challenge which is for blue, silver and white this time. Not to worry it is always another Christmas card.


I followe the fabby sketch from Friday Sketchers. The lovely Anya image is coloured with Promarkers and stickles used on her muff, edge of coat, boots and scarf. The sentiment and the image are both edged with silver. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.


Other challenges:-

Paperplay 2 papers, 1 ribbon and 3 buttons.
Anyone for Anya something round - buttons.
Pile it on 3 flowers and 5 pearls.
Creative Card Crew strings attached -silver thread with charm.
Secret Crafter seasons - Winter.

Hope I've got these right! Let me know what you think, if you've got time to leave a comment I can pop over to your blog and see what you've been doing.

First Anya.

Not sure if this was a good idea! I've never entered Anyone for Anya before but as I recently got some Anya's I decided this evening to have a go. I'm not sure when the cut-off time is so maybe I'm too late anyway!! I used the sketch and stash to make the card. I've used some stash that has been around for a while - my flowers and ribbon and some new stash the very lovely Hippie Anya. I think colouring her with Sakura gel pens was maybe a mistake. At least in terms of trying to take a photo at 11pm lol. I used Basic Grey June bug DP which seems bright enough for a hippie.

I need to stop doing things at the last minute. I really should have made this card sooner rather than catching up with blogs before I started to make this card.

Thanks for looking and tomorrow I will post another piccie and also some of the ones I made at the crop I was at today.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for looking.
