Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.
The theme of today’s challenge is ‘deck the wreath’.
After some prevarication, I ended up creating a wreath with Spellbinders pine branch dies, bedecked with lots of fabulous dew drops for my take on the theme.
The embossing folder is also by Spellbinders and the sentiment is by Creative Expressions.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.
Today’s challenge is a sketch with lots of layers. I ‘cheated’ a bit and used ink blending instead of one layer!
I used an older Hero Arts cling stamp and my favourite Sizzix tree embossing folder for my take.

Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.
Today’s challenge is ‘Gingerbread Dreams’. I couldn’t find any gingerbread stamps or dies in my rather extensive collection but then I remembered the Gingermas House that I received in Pinkfresh Studio’s Holiday event kit!
I embossed it on kraft and coloured it with my Prisma coloured pencils. I embossed a kraft background panel with a Spellbinders folder and added The Greetery’s Pine Wisp die cut (which is actually cut from antique gold card) before adhering the house and adding a few pearls to complete my card.

Hi there and Happy Halloween!
It’s Day 5 of Ghost Week and I’m playing along with this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge (I have NEVER entered this challenge so early!!) and this month’s Memory Box challenge where the theme is ‘happy haunting’.
For today’s card, I used the Cookie Jar die that was part of the Pinkfresh Holiday Event earlier in the month. I think I would have preferred to use a bigger card base to more add more white space around the focal point but I also wanted to use my Simon Says Stamp ghosts embossing folder one last time this year and guess what won that design struggle?!
I cut ghosts from Memory Box’s fun set of Haunting Ghosts which I’m proud to say that I have used on three cards this year! The fabulous houses are from Poppystamps’ Twisted Houses set – they worked so well with the jar!.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!
It was so sad to read the tributes to Barbara Anders on the Color Throwdown blog this week. I had noticed that she had stopped designing a while ago as I always loved seeing her cards, she created some amazing inspiration. I also loved her joy of travelling and in particular her IG posts from my home town – her sense of adventure and love of travel and appreciation of her surroundings really touched me.
I send my heartfelt condolences to her husband, family and friends including the CTD team members past and present who shared such beautiful words. She touched many hearts and will be very missed.
The combo this week is orange, cream and kraft and I used a variety of Spellbinders products for my take. The sentiment is by Technique Tuesday.
Thanks for stopping by!
