Hi everyone!
As Tracey McNeely isn’t running her 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year, I have created my own event using 25 days from Tracey’s event posts over the last decade, as I explained in this post. Unfortunately I only had time to make six tags this year.
Day 5’s inspiration is Day 17, 2018. Click here to see the tag I made then!
I had so much fun with this tag! I chose a circle die from Simon Says Stamp and images by Mama Elephant.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
I am so delighted to be a Guest Designer for this month’s CAS Christmas Challenge. The theme this month is ‘pine’.
For my CAS card, I used The Greetery’s Pine Botanicuts die set! I love this set so much! I adhered it to a wood slice die cut (also be the Greetery) and added a Penny Black sentiment and Sizzix bow.
The CAS Christmas DT has come up with some amazing inspiration over on the challenge blog. I hope you can play along!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!
It’s also time for another challenge at AAA Cards! This fortnight we’d like you to create a CAS card using just an edge of your card. Our optional twist is ‘snowflakes’.
I always seem to use blues and purples with white when I make snowflake cards so I’ve changed it up today and have used kraft! All products are by Penny Black – I used the snowflake edger die from the Spirited die set (51-721) – the partial snowflakes on the edger die are replicated in full in the Dancing Snowflakes die (51-708), so I cut them out and added them on top using tiny bits of foam. Finally, I stamped a sentiment from the When Snow Falls sentiment set (30-881) before adhering this to my kraft card base.
My team mates have come up with some beautiful cards which are on the AAA Cards challenge blog. We are also joined a previous challenge winner, Jane, who has some sweet inspiration on her instagram feed!
Hope you can play along with us!

Happy Sunday everyone!
Today I’m playing along with this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge .
I cut and coloured the Memory Box Smooth Pinecones and Antique Pine label dies. I snipped off the label section of the die so that I had two separate pine branches. I adhered a couple of patterned paper strips to my card base before arranging my die cuts on top. Finally I added a Mama Elephant sentiment and a few pearls.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
It’s time for another challenge at AAA Cards! This fortnight we’d like you to create a CAS card using the sketch below and if you want to join with our optional twist, please use a gnome!
For the main image, I used my new Fir and Foliage No. 2 set from The Greetery. So pleased that Seven Hills Crafts is stocking this brand now! I added a bit of silvery twine and a Mama Elephant sentiment.
My team mates have come up with some beautiful cards using LOTS of gnomes (or gonks as I know them as!) which are on the AAA Cards challenge blog. We are also joined a previous challenge winner, Fran, who has some lovely cards on her blog – go check it out!!
Hope you can play along with us!

Hi there!
I am so delighted to be a Guest Designer for this month’s CAS Christmas Challenge. The theme this month is ‘ornaments’.
For my CAS card, I used a beautiful PaperArtsy stamp which fits the theme but is rather unusual! I’ve has this set for a while now, but I don’t think I’ve ever used this image. It was such fun to colour with my Twinkling H2O paints – the shimmer is amazing in real life but always so difficult to capture on camera!
I was a bit nervous about adding a sentiment as the first few sentiments I tried seemed a bit too large, so I was quite relieved when I found this small sentiment by Mama Elephant.
