Jingle Belles

While I had the Christmas box out I made another card for Jingle Belles.
The theme there is Shake it Santa meaning you can either do a shaker box or include Santa on your card.
I chose Santa

Mojo Monday and Shop our stash

 

 
Here's the sketch from Mojo Monday.
Over at Shop our stash we are asked to use red on a card.

I have used the punched Christmas trees from the previous post as well.

Using Punchies (Die-cuts) in preparation for Challenge #1.

I don't own many punches but when I go to a crop I use up scraps of patterned paper and cardstock by punching shapes from them. Here is my collection.

I've already used some of the hearts to make a flower for my next layout and also folded some scalloped circles into 4 then adhered 4 folded onto a 5th circle base to make a flower.
This is what I'm aiming at



and here are mine. The smaller ones are harder for me to fold with my R.A. hands but I persevered.

The Christmas trees in the top picture will be used on cards very soon.
As for the rest, keep watching!

Li'l Red wagon "Use it up"

Over at Li'l red wagon we are asked to "Use it up".
I've made a card similar to the previous one using up the vellum and another pink doiley heart.
I've added a strip of patterned paper from last month's Counterfeit kit plus a canvas bracket that I misted to raise the relief pattern on it.
I've finished it with 30 using leftover numbers from a set of alphas . All the items for this card were sitting on my desk as leftovers.

In the pink challenges

At In the Pink the challenge is to use something with wings.
I have a small drawer full of butterflies, so have used them on this card.
The large one is a wire and net one the others are fussy cut from gift wrapping paper.

I've used the pink vellum and heart shaped doiley from my Counterfeit Kit on this card.

Cards 4 Guys

I'm making cards to keep occupied in this cold weather.
Here's one featuring a bird as requested for cardz4guys
It has a half front and full back.
There wasn't enough room to spell all of birthday horizontally, so I separated birth and day.
It also wouldn't scan successfully, so I've photographed it.

Artful crafts .

Artfull crafts has this sketch this month.

Despite this saying Stitches in Thyme as well as Artfull crafts, when I checked S.I.T there is a totally different layout.
So I am submitting it just to Artfull crafts.

I've used the coral red coloured paper from my Counterfeit Kit as well as the dotty paper, twine, geotags and alphas. Some of the washi tapes are as well.
These photos needed some black and white.
The brick paper made a good background.
 The black & white tag was made a few months ago, but suited this.

and at Scrap it with a song you can win this prize. See the details on the blog.
