2 sisters on the blog and CAS on Sunday.

http://2sistersontheblog.blogspot.com/ is a new blog for me that looks like it is from Holland.

Their challenge is to use pictures of Christmas cookies on your card.

I have used 2 felt Gingerbread men on this card.



At Jingle belles they want any Christmas food.
At CAS on Sunday they have asked us to use washi tape.
I've used 5 strips across the middle and one lower.
My cardboard stocks are low so I'm forced to use yellow as my background on Christmas cards, but I think this works.
Another gingerbread man on here.


Shock of shocks! I stamped!!!
Recently I bought a bakers stamp at the supermarket. It says "Hi there".

Cardz 4 guyz

The theme at Cardz4guyz is Christmas Critters.

I found this reindeer wearing Christmas cdecorations on an old Christmas card and thought he was worth another look.
I've made a card for a teenage boy who is inclined to be cynical, so thought he might enjoy this.
I've used brown thickers for my sentiment.


Fusion card challenge



Here is the latest challenge at Fusion card challenges.
fusion card challenge
I've combined the sketch and the picture and made this card. The background stripes are inspired by the seat on the chair. The sentiments are from the sketch and the holly is hanging on the red cushion.
I couldn't resist the red polkadot strip ,it provides contrast for the plain red circle.

At Scrapping4fun challenges the theme is winter.
I made a small card featuring snowflakes in blue and maroon.

CKC Killing the kit.

Each month we feature an article on the CKC blog about killing the kits.

On this layout I have used several cut off strips from the bottom of papers, a blue frame that I had, a paper I thought I would never use ,but the colours were perfect. There is also a Christmas paper!

It was when we were walking through Rockefeller centre in New York and noticed Tiffany.
"Take my photo" I asked Barbara. I was even wearing my blingy kaftan top.
Of course there had to be bling on this! I used a whole FWAB flourish which came with extra gems. Those, I spread around the frame.

Challenge #2 CKC.


Lisa asked us to put a twist on the sketch.
I'm using non-kit papers as I have finished my Counterfeit kit for this month. (That's my twist!)

The title and laugh tags, plus the banner and transparency and cotton for sewing are all from my Counterfeit kit.


This layout is based on this sketch

Less is more challenge & Crazy4challenges

At Less is more challenge they want metallic.

I found a Christmas paper which had silver gifts on the bottom. After using it as my background I added silver washi tape and a gold die cut Christmas tree.
I embossed Merry Christmas on some gold cardstock.

**********************************************************************************
At Crazy4Challenges there is a sketch



 And here's mine. It is for a little girl and is a little card measuring 11cm x 8cm.
