Fusion card challenge

At Fusion card challenge there is this

I thought I'd make a Christmas thank you card. I sell many cards to teachers so these will be well received.
The felt hats add a festive touch and I used Darkroom door alpha strips for my sentiment.

*******************************************************

I've used the same background paper and letters on this next card for Crafty Calendar challenge.

The theme is cute and girly so I added some Peanuts gang stickers (girls) and gold washi tape down the right hand side.

ABC Christmas challenge and Watercooler Wednesday.

ABC Christmas challenge has W for wreath and X for Faux.

I'm still working with smaller size cards to fit the envelopes I have so here's another 9cm x 13cm card.
I layered 4 layers, including vellum then faux stitched around the blue layer.
All made from scraps, so very economical.

My second card this morning is for Watercooler Wednesday where they have all occasions.
Mine of course, is Christmas.

I used a tartan background and tied a big bow for the middle.

The snowflakes which are printed on the tartan are the same bottle green colour.

Hope you like it!

Sketch 'n'scrap

Here's the card sketch at Sketch 'n'scrap

I'm still making Christmas cards and using green tones on this one.
My card is reasonably small so couldn't get much on there. 13cm x 9cm.
Here it is.

Dream valley challenges

At Dream Valley Challenges they want a card that is glittery.
I had some white shimmer card in my stash plus gold ribbon that has a metallic finish.
I combined the two and came up with this card.

Scrap room sketch and Lasting Memories.

This morning I made this layout for the scraproom sketch.

It is based around a memory I have from early childhood. Long before people put up Christmas lights in their houses, a few factories would make a special effort for Christmas.

Dad used to take us to see the Christmas lights at the ETA factory near Marrickville.

To a 5 year old me, it was magical.

I'm pleased to have used the Kaisercraft Merry Christmas letters which have been in my stash for so long. I also added the Cherish card plus a few brads and enamel dots.The small gold Christmas card was cut from an old card. The washi tape and gold doiley is from my Counterfeit kit this month.

Here's the sketch

*****************************************************************

Also at the Scrap Room they have this challenge

I used everything from my Counterfeit kit on this layout.

The papers were yellow and greys. I added navy washi tape plus a gold star washi as well.

The other embellishments are from scraps.

The alphas are an accu-cut machine set of letters at least 10 years old.

I'm also using this layout for the striped paper challenge at Lasting memories

Challenge Yourself and sketches in Thyme

At Challenge Yourself it is about Friends.



and at Sketches in Thyme they have this sketch.

I'm combining the two. 

Using 2 photos of friends including me wearing the black pants in the bottom photo, I constructed my layout.

I have kept as close to the sketch as I can.

My explanation for the title is X = kisses, but it occurred to me that we are now all divorced so that makes us ex wives.

Li'l red wagon and Cardz4guyz

Li'l red wagon wants us to use a speech bubble.

This card is gift card size but I managed to use some of my kit items on here.
The fox washi tape came in handy on this plus I had a scrap of corrugated card and some twine as well.
Hope you like it!

And at Cardz 4 guyz they want us to feature something all wrapped up.

I made a collage card using some little pictures I had featuring people in winter clothes at Christmas.
