It's Christmas at Moving Along with the Times

 Good afternoon.  It's the first of the month and time for the final challenge this year at MAWTT.

My Card

I have used an old Lili of the Valley image from the Art Pads and stamped the sentiment. I also used Sue Wilson's Noble Pierced Rectangles and embossing folder all mounted onto a 5" x  7" white card base. I do wish LOTV would bring back Art Pads - they are far more useful to me than the current printed images. Another flat based card for posting - although with all the postal strikes who knows if our cards will get to their  recipients at all? We'll just have to keep everything crossed.

Take care.

 

 

Deer at Christmas Card Club

 Good morning. here we are at our penultimate challenge this year It's a bit frightening because it means it less than a month to the Big Day!

My Card

Just a very simple card using a die which was a magazine freebie many years ago and I thik it was only used once.

Sorry this is such a quick post but I have a busy day ahead.

I hope you are all keeping well.

 

 

 

Christmas Crackers for Christmas Card Club

Today's challenge is Christmas Crackers although we always have the "Anything Goes" option if we don't have anything suitable for the challenge.  I do like to follow the theme if possible but I thought I was going to have to give in because I searched through all my images but didn't find anything suitable.  Then I had a lightbulb moment! I have just made a cracker treat box so I decided to show this instead.  Not a Christmas card,  I know, but still pertinent to the challenge.

My Project

I have had this Tonic Studios set of dies for a number of years and haven't used it for years either. I stopped buying Tonic dies because they are so expensive  I decided they didn't warrant the expense, even though the finished items are lovely.The two pieces just slide aside to reveal the gift inside.  The poinsettia and leaves are from John Next Door.

I't's  decent size so can get a reasonable gift/goodies inside.

Take care.

Winter Wonderland Challenge Robin Redbreast

 Good morning and it's time for a new challenge at Winter Wonderland.  Our sponsor is Sheepski Designs and the theme is Robin Redbreast.

My Card

I have used the digi image from Sheepski Designs called Christmas Post Box. It was coloured with Promarkers.  I used Sue Wilson's Nobled Pierced Squares and the Holly Spray is from precious Marieke.

Why not pop over to the blog and see what the rest of the DT have made for the challenge and maybe you will feel inspired to join in.

Take care and have a good day.

 

 

 

 

Winter Animals for Christmas Card Club

 Good morning . Our challenge this month is Winter Animals and was chosen by Elizabeth.

 My Card

My aim is to make as many of my cards as I can flat enough for the cheaper postal rate. Obviously I have made exceptions for family and close friends. To that end I used a digital image and added the mats digitally then printed it out and added it to a kraft card base card. I just added a few peel off snowflakes and I was done.  Easy peasy.

Take care and enjoy your day.

Snowglobes for Christmas Card Club.

 The theme for  Challenge # 21 is Snowglobes and has been chosen by Gwen.

My Card

I have used a Snowglobe die from The Works.  These dies are a very reasonable price and cut beautifully.

I used a sentiment die from Sue Wilson and the trees are from John Next Door. Very flat for posting - always a bonus at Christmas.

I hope you are all well and enjoying this lovely autumnal weather.  It is really weird because my geraniums in the pots at the front of the house are all in full bud again and just about to bloom. Very strange weather indeed.

 

Let it Snow at Winter Wonderland

 Hi, it's time for a new challenge at Winter Wonderland.  This challenge is Just For Fun and we have no sponsor. The theme is Let it Snow.
