Christmas Washi Phone

Time to bring in the Christmas spirit to my iphone ... a little washi tape revamp!


I like 2 layer silver stars on the red stripe.

Cindy was so kind to let me do a redraw, but I will still send her this ...


Happy happy Birthday

When I did the sketch for the Cardathon at Scrap Rendezvous, I forgot the card was supposed to be a Christmas one! (Juggling too many things at the moment and I find that I'm dropping balls!)

Here's the sketch again

And my original take on it. The "birthday", dots and "ribbon" are diecut from washi tape on cardstock; the arrows are a mix of stamps, silhouette dies and washi tape.

O la la!

My brain is like a sieve at the moment ... spinning too many plates, juggling too many balls.

So I did the 500th Giveaway draw a day too early! So sorry.

So I will do another tomorrow at the promised deadline!! Will come up with another prize and show it on the post tomorrow!

Sincerest apologies!




500th Post WINNER!

That makes it ...

Scrap Rendezvous Cardathon

Pascale, Alexandre and Virginie of Scrap Rendezvous kindly asked me to join in as a guest designer in their Cardathon of Christmas cards.



We were to come up with a sketch, and then a card.

Here's my sketch :




and a sneak peek of my card :



Come back tomorrow for another take on the sketch.

Another little bird for the Less is More Use a Bird Challenge

This is just the sweetest little Christmas Bird. And using more of the Washi stash!


Glossy Accents on the bird and holly really makes them pop.


The bird is a Hero Arts stamp (and the gems) will enter it into Hero Arts Holiday Challenge

Sweet Bird & Star

Had a couple of challenges in mind while creating this card :

Less is More #147 Use a Bird Challenge

Festive Fridays : Inspired by Challenge (it was a toss up between the wreath challenge and this colour challenge, but went with the latter in the end)



and

Sketch Saturday Challenge




A bit of sponging to create the circle, the 3D star (again! I know) with Stickles, a banner sentiment and gems.



As these are all Hero Arts stamps (and Blush Dots and gems) will enter it into Hero Arts Holiday Challenge




Present

A shaped card for the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge. I cut this with my Silhouette. Embossed the front of the card. Added these delightful LOTV tags.



Added glossy accents to the holly berries and the Christmas tree.

Inspired by TV Ad

Note : If you want a chance to win my 500th blog post giveaway pop on over and post a comment before midnight (EST) the 26th November.




I have wanted to make a card inspired by the TV ad for MNet. It has turning dots in an array of colours.






Thought the Annabelle Stamps "Round for Christmas" dots were perfect for this. These will be my colours for Christmas this year. Will enter it to the Annabelle Stamps Christmas Challenge.



I have um'ed and ah'ed about drawing in silver lines to make them suspended baubles, but then I thought it would make it too busy. What do you think?

[Having seen it on the screen ... and stared at it for a few days, decided that it needed the strings.]



Will also enter it for Just Us Girls Inspiration Challenge






Silhouette Twinchie

Just add Water

Heather's OLW #167 Just add Water Challenge

I used markers on the stamps and spritzed with water. Didn't even reink the second time, just spritzed water again. Gives a paler imprint.
