Anything Goes
As long as its Christmas or Festive related! I've got a Guest Designer joining me for the challenge who was a previous challenge winner, so please pop over to Crimbo Crackers and then to her blog to say hello!
I've no sponsor for the challenge but I'm offering two lucky entrants the chance to be future Guest Designers and its struck me that I need to design a GD badge for the blog too - will have to coax the boys into the Santa hats again!
I've made a wordbook from the new Funky Hand download - Stylish Tree wordbook which is part of the Oh Come All Ye Crafters collection. Although it looks a little complicated it really isn't! Each of the large letters are printed onto A4 card (I print on a base paper on the reverse too) and then cut them out! The edges of the letters have been glittered with gold glitter glue, I've added Sizzix Roundabout die cut letters (and glittered these) and then the ribbon (to hold the join bits) and some die cuts.
The ribbons are from my stash - the gold one I bought a few years ago in the January sales from B&Q - Jacob helped me pick out the bargain ribbon bundles!
Good luck with the challenge!
I'd like to enter the following challenges:
Craft Room Challenge: Punches and Die Cuts
Holly Jolly Christmas: 3 R's - Red, Ric Rac and Ribbon (and really glittery!)
Try It On Tuesday: Christmas Sparkle
The Paper Girls: Christmas
Paper Creator: All About Christmas
Papers: Stylish Tree wordbook download from Funky Hand
Dies: Sizzix Roundabout alphabet, Marianne Creatables Poinsettia and Swirly leaf
Everything else: My stash

ReplyDeleteGreat Happy Christmas card. I like the glitter letters and trim. Thank you for joining us at Holly Jolly this week.
ReplyDeleteOh lovely. You've used lots of my favourite things too, not to mention a January sales bargain hunt. I've just started making my first word book (not Xmas though), but if it turns out any-where near as good as this I will be delighted xx
