Shaped christmas card

This lovely lady is definitely ready with the christmas spirit!
I have coloured her with promarkers and have used a sizzix die cut to sort of frame her and a fun sticker for sentiment. The wee rose is of course a marianne creatable, love these. To finish on this side I added lots of lovely glitter.

The Squiggle Stamps 'Cats Chorus' is a recycled atc from a little while ago, I felt this needed more than just being an atc, so I used it on one of the other sides. I made a wee tag and popped it behind the image, with the words 'noel' which I thought appropriate for carol singers.
JUST TO LET YOU ALL KNOW SQUIGGLE STAMPS HAVE 20% OFF OF THEIR DIGI IMAGES FOR DECEMBER.
NOT TO BE MISSED ME THINKS!!!
I used spellbinders die cuts for framing the 'to' label area and behind the squiggles image.

And here is my christmas tree! I will share a few more photos of my children's trees and the front doors trees soon.

Some squiggles inspiration in a set of three christmas atc's

I have made 3 cute little Atc's to share with you today. The image above is Sleigh Ride and is such a fun image (actually they all are hehe) The image below is Snow Fight and is one of the latest christmas digi images available from Squiggle Stamps.

I have used dotty ribbons and gems, some frosty brads, lots of stickles and some punched flowers. The corners of the atc's have been punched and embossed with a corner punch. Then I added some faux stitching.  The image below is Christmas Cats Chorus.

And one last piccy of them all together. Really enjoyed these, they were a bit out of the norm for me, but lots of fun.

Squiggles Christmas Creations



Well this project has been made with a Squiggle Stamps christmas image which are currently on sale until 5th August, so if this one takes your fancy then now is the time to grab it!
The challenge over at Squiggle Stamps Blog can be found Here and is Christmas Creations, so we would love to see your christmas cards, tags, atc's, scrapbook pages etc that you have created with a Squiggle Stamp or Digi Image.
Squiggle Stamps are now running a fortnightly challenge and with a couple of freebies in store and a 20% discount on digis this would be a great time to pop over and have a wee looky.
Now I know some of my followers have some Squiggles Rubber Stamps, cos they won them in my candy draw, so it would be lovely to see what you can do with them.
Now this box I have made using a basic papermania card and then a piece of kanban tartan on the top. I have added two pieces of ricrac (really old that in all honesty I had forgotten was in my stash) and have used my sizzix to cut out the oval from the paper that I had printed the digi. The edges have been colorbox chalked and I have used Promarkers, and some gold and silver pens and a little glitter to colour the christmas tree and birdy.
Hugs to you all and these are the challenges that I am entering my project into.

Fab n Funky - Clash of Colours or alternatively, like I chose, colours on the opposite side of the colour wheel.

Moonlit Sleigh Ride Tag





This is my latest Christmas Tag, I have used an image that I bought about 4 years ago, that up until now I had not used, not even once. So! absolutely mortified! I am going to make an effort to rake more often to find the hidden wonders at the back of the cupboard.
I have coloured with my promarkers, sparkled up the stars with stickles, added a beautiful grey green flower with a purple star button. The mauve ribbon I have twisted and fixed like looped tassels and then used some under the flower and for fixing to the parcel.

Wild dash into the unknown .... Hmmm nope just my son on a bike ride

This wonderful LOTV image has been coloured using my promarkers and I have embossed light card and then used my punches to make half a flower frame to the picture. Topped up with the extra gems for a little bling! and two wee butterflies with added red glitter.
This wee booky has been made for Ro to give to Nana at christmas, but didn't want it too christmassy. I will endeavour to get a couple of really good photo's of him out on the many Summer weekend bikerides (during which, I always forget to take photo's!!!)
I made some tiny flowers out of greens and blues with a glittery copper flower bottom layer, which I didn't curl but left flat for a change.
The sun, just for a bit of a laugh is hurling itself through the windows this morning, looovve it! Of course it has made the photo's a little over exposed and lots of shadows, but its lovely today, so not to worry.

Challenges Entered:-
Top Tip #23 - bling it on
Allsorts wk 91 -Inspired by Nature
Incy Wincy 81- Use punches or dies
Southern Girls #13 - bling it on
