What Day Is It?

So we're at that strange time of year where all the meals blend into one and nobody knows what day it is! I've started to play with some of the goodies I bought in the sales - I'm very taken with these lovely shiny patterned papers from the Papermania Geometric Mono pack - ideal for New Year cards...

I've added some die cut numbers in gold mirri-card and the greeting used up some very old peel-off letters.

There's not many challenges currently going but I've managed to enter this into:

4 Crafty Chicks - anything goes
C R A F T Challenge - anything goes

Last Christmas Card of 2016!

Just a quick share of the last Christmas card of 2016!...

This was a special order for a friend at work - she simply could not find anything suitable in the shops! I used a cute penguin die I bought very cheaply in The Range and used pale blue polka dot patterned paper for the snowy sky.

Santa on a Scooter!

I've been trying to use up bits left from various kits and colections I've bought over the years and I've managed to create this from the leftovers of a Hunkydory kit.

Not the most complex of designs but I do hate to have waste, especially good quality Hunkydory waste!

Pink Deer

Just about finished the Christmas cards for this year - I've told my customers at work to expect a huge box arriving on Monday, so I'm busy at the moment doing the inserts.

Today's card is one such order - something pink and girly for a colleague's sister...

I've used that gorgeous deer die again - this time using some pink sparkly patterned paper. The papers are from many years ago - Trimcraft's Xmas Blue collection. I've also used some punched snowflakes and the tiniest red gem for the deer's nose. The greeting was created in Publisher using Hobo font.

Christmas Couple

A quick post tonight - I can almost see the light at the end of the Christmas card tunnel so I must get on! As you can see, the cards are getting simpler!

The digi, coloured with pro-markers, is an old favourite from Digistamp Boutique. The paper is from a pad bought at The Range. The greeting was created in Publisher using The Urban Way font and I've used a die-cut snowflake and a tiny wooden heart as embellishments.

This is what I have created using a lovely snowman digi kindly supplied by the company:
