My Card

Reindeer at Winter Wonderland

 It's time for another challenge at the Winter Wonderland Challenge Blog. The theme is Reindeer. However, we don't have a sponsor this month so this is a Just For Fun Challenge this time.

My Card


I used an A6 tartan base card and some die cuts, both from my box. I think they were from Hobbycraft, although quite some time ago. It was quick to make and flat for posting so ticks the boxes.

Why not pop over to the blog and check out what the rest of the team have made?

Take care and have a good day.

Christmas Presents at Winter Wonderland

 Good morning. It is time for a new challenge at the Winter Wonderland Challenge Blog.

 Before I show my DT card I would like to say that we are still looking for people to join our design team.  If you are interested please go across to the blog for details.

Our sponsor this month is Stampers Delight  and I am using the image Chibi Xmas Morning

My Card


The background is a paper from my digi paper file and I printed the png. image directly to the paper I have had this paper for many, many years. Unfortunately before I started my blog journey I only downloaded the image and did not add where it came from.  Obviously that all changed when I started my blog but that doesn't help at the moment.

I coloured the image with Promarkers and then added it to a 6 " square base card.

Why not pop across to the blog and check out what the rest of the DT have made?

Take care and have a good day.

All I Want For Christmas Is You - Winter Wonderland

 Good morning and the snowy scene outside my window seems to be the perfect time to post a Christmas card for the Winter Wonderland blog.

Before I show my DT card I would like to say that we are looking for people to join our design team.  If you are interested please go across to the blog for details.

My Card

 

Our sponsor is All Dressed Up stamps and my image is the very sweet Mistletoe Kisses which I coloured with Promarkers..

I kept it very simple with a 5" inch square base card and I used peel off greetings and snowflakes. I still have masses of them from way back when and every now and again I'm able to pop something on a card.

Why not pop over to the blog and check out the DT cards and find out whether you would like to join our Christmas crafting gang.

Please remember your project must be Christmas/Winter.

Take care

Candy Canes or for a child at Winter Wonderland

 Good  morning from a very cold and frosty Oxfordshire. Time for Winter Wonderland today. We don't have a sponsor this time so our cards are just for fun, but you still need to follow the theme which is Candy Canes and/or For a Child.

My Card



I have used an image from the Nitwits Collection "Gnome for Christmas".  There are are some fabulous images and papers in this digital collection so you are really spoilt for choice.  I think my image covers the brief - gnomes are such great fun and can therefore be for adults or children, and I also have a candy cane in there too. I just used Sue Wilson Noble Pierced rectangles to cut the image and mat.

Why not pop across to the blog and see the great cards from the rest of the team.

Take care and stay warm.

Christmas Birds at Winter Wonderland

Good morning and it's time for another challenge at Winter Wonderland.  The theme this month is Christmas Birds and we are sponsored by Imagine That Digi Stamps.

My Card



I have used Flamingo Christmas from our sponsor. I had eye surgery a month ago and I am still struggling a wee bit but this set has a precoloured images as well as papers and sentiments so it made it very simple to make a card. I used an image and paper but not the sentiment.

Please pop over to the blog and check out what my team mates have made and you may be inspired to join in the challenge.

Anything Christmas Goes at Winter Wonderland.

 Good morning .  Time for another challenge here at Winter Wonderland.

Today's challenge is a tribute to Eileen, the former owner and coordinator of the Winter Wonderland Challenge, who sadly passed away suddenly at the beginning of 2017. We decided to continue the blog in  her honour.

Our sponsor this month is Fred She Said.

My Card


This is an A6 card made from white linen card stock. The image is Colourful Christmas Ornaments and this is one of the pre-coloured images.  I have actually made a set of six with different baubles.

I CASED this card from Kath, a blog friend, who makes the most wonderful CAS cards. Just click on her name to see her cards.

Things With Wings at Winter Wonderland

 Good morning.  Hope this finds you all well.

Here at Winter Wonderland it's time for our penultimate challenge this year. The theme is "Things with Wings" and our sponsor is Sheepskin Designs. 

My Card


My card is a 7" x 5" red base card, I have embossed white card with Sue Wilson's Falling Snow embossing folder and just added a strip of Scandi Snow paper from Lili of the Valley.  The image is Penguin Stack from our sponsor and coloured with Promarkers. The snowflake dies are from  Dovecraft.

I hope you all find plenty to keep you occupied and safe during this new lock down. If I am honest things won't be much different for us.  Due to John's health issues he has shielded for the most part with only the occasional trip out to walk along the river at Evesham and a walk through the grounds at Upton House, a National Trust property just a couple of miles away from us and where we were the only people there. Heaven.  I have continued to do my grocery shop, but at 7.30 in the morning when there are few people in the store.  I have always been an early bird so that suits me. I have also met with a couple of my WI friends in the village a few times but outside in their gardens where we could keep a very safe distance apart.

Anyway, stay safe and well!

Penguins at Winter Wonderland

 Good morning.  It's time for a new challenge at Winter Wonderland. The theme is Penguins and our sponsor is Twinkle Lane Designs 


My Card


This is a 5" x 7"green  card from Card Craft UK and used in landscape. I matted a scrap of striped paper onto some burgundy card stock.  The sponsor's  image is Playful Penguins and coloured with Promarkers.

The sentiment die is from Sue Wilson and I matted it onto some white card to allow it stand out against the busy striped background. The trees are John Next Door Finlay's Trees.

I hope you can find time to pop over to   the blog and check out the cards from the rest of the DT and maybe you will decide to join in the challenge.  Please remember,however, that we are a Christmas/Winter blog only.

Snowmen and Snow at Winter Wonderland

Good morning.  We have a new challenge at Winter Wonderland today and the theme is Snowmen and Snow.  Our fabulous sponsor is Bugaboo Digi Stamps and the DT are all using Jodie's images from Bugaboo.

My Card


Recipe 
DL base card  made from Crafter's Companion black card stock
red card stock  from stash
Falling Snow e/f - Sue Wilson
Promarkers to colour

I decided to rearrange my snowmen from their original square block to a column so that I could make a DL card. I embossed the left side of the white card. Initially my idea was to arrange die cut snowflakes down this side but I liked it as it was so thought I would leave it very CAS. This is very different for me but I really like the effect.

Please hop over to the blog and see what my teamies have come up with for this challenge and maybe you will be inspired to join in with us - but please remember we are a Christmas blog so your project must be Christmas/holiday themed.

The weekend is almost upon us so I hope you have a great weekend, especially if you have any plans.

Take care.

It is a great retail place with Webbs Garden Centre, and everything else available at garden centres these days. There was a very large Hobbycraft and also a terrific Lakeland store.  That wrapped up my Christmas gifts nicely - no pun intended!

Another short post I'm fraid.
