Winter Green………
Oh Why have Stampin' Up! discontinued these papers they're my favourite. Here is a card using my take on the Sketch and Stash challenge number 25 that runs until the 4th Jan. I've used some silver mirri card along with Sage Shadow cardstock from Stampin' Up! the stamp set is Lovely as a Tree with some Dazzling Diamonds added for that sparkle. The ribbon is from my stash.
better late than never
Here's another card I made using a sketch that can be found over at Friday Sketchers. I just loved this layout and had to have a go when I found the time.Again I've used a Penny Black Image coloured with Promarkers, a computer generated sentiment and Stampin' Up! Winter Green Designer Papers (sadly retired) along with Sage Shadow and Always Artichoke Card stock. And to finish it off I've used some stickles and Certainly Celery Ribbon from Stampin' Up!
another card another challange
Here I've used the sketch challenge that can be found over at Stamp With Us to make a Christmas Card for my friends Nephew. I've used discontinued Stampin' Up! designer paper along with Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon and Night of Navy Card stock.The image is from Penny Black which I have coloured in using Promarkers and added a little sparkle with stickles (you cant have a Christmas card without glitter now!!!!!!!)

I had a fantastic day out two weeks ago over in Essex with Steph. She laid on a lovelly spread for us as well as four FABULOUS make and takes, (I forgot to take my camera but there are some photos over on her blog).I loved one of the layouts she did on her cards that much that I've cased it using Stampin' Up! products ~ Merry Moments 12x12 papers/Chocolate Chip, Real Red and Vanilla Cardstock/Real Red Grossgrain Ribbon/Season of Joy Stampset
Tree Trimmings
Here are a couple of cards that I've made using traditional colours and the Tree Trimmings Stamp set from Stampin' Up! as the main focal point. I've glittered some of the baubles with Dazzling Diamonds and raised them up with Dimensions

Scraps………….
We all have a place where we put our scraps!! well yesterday I popped over to Shaz's and helped her to finish moving into her "Craft Cabin" it took us about 2 hours sorting the last little bits and pieces sorted out, then we sat down to play.......we had great fun. I decided as Shaz had a rather large box of scraps I would challange my self to use these to make some cards with. I hope you like my creations, I used Winter Post and Spotlight on Christmas stampsets.
