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.
Day 23’s inspiration is Day 18, 2020. Here’s the tag I made then!
This time, one of my favourite cardmakers, Rosemary, provided my inspiration!
I used dies from The Greetery’s Pine Bough Botanicuts set plus their wood slices. I just love those pine cones!
Thanks for stopping by!

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.
Day 18’s inspiration is Day 2, 2012. I liked Tracey’s inspiration but I wanted to see her own inspiration so off I went on a Google search! As I was scanning images, I spotted these beautiful tags by Heather Nichols, so I decided to used those for my take. I used a circle frame die from The Greetery and a wonderful old wood-mounted stamp by Amuse Art Stamps!

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!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!
Welcome to Day 15 of Christmas in July 2021! Today I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches .
I’m so happy to say that this sketch enabled me to use one of my must-have dies by The Greetery that I bought last year – the Cosy Cup Coaster die which served as a base for my foliage arrangement cut with couple of Poppystamps dies (Pine Branch and Holiday Mistletoe).
To complete my card, I added a sentiment by Mama Elephant and a Sizzix bow!

Hi Everyone!
My card for today uses the colours from this week’s CAS Colours & Sketches challenge.
I used the amazing Fir & Foliage No 1 stamp and die set from The Greetery to create this bright cherry blossom tree, together with the Whittle Clouds dies by Poppystamps and a Simon Says Stamp sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello again everyone!
Today I’m playing along with two challenges with this card today – the Card Concept challenge and the Poppystamps challenge where the theme is hearts.
I was inspired by the colours in the Card Concept’s inspiration photo so decided to use pink and browns for my card. I went for the Clean and Layered design, using lots of die cut layers but also keeping the card quite clean with a good amount of white space. I used dies by Poppystamps (Francesca Heart and the Whittle Birds), Honey Bee Stamps (Heart Vine) and The Greetery (wood Slices). The sentiment is by Sugar Pea Designs.
Thanks for stopping by!
