Little Miss Muffet - Welcoming 2019!

It's the last day of 2018 and to celebrate I've used Polka Dot Pals Wyleen from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I've used Promarkers to colour plus glitter glue here and there.


The paper is from my stash - part of the rather large collection of digital papers that I've printed over the years and now need to use up!  The snowflakes are all die cuts and I've added half pearls to their centres and dotted a line of liquid pearls around the edge of the card.

Little Miss Muffet - Wrapping 2018 up

We are wrapping the year up at Little Miss Muffet Stamps!  And here is a card I made as part of an order I received.

I've used Polka Dot Pals Noeleen with Junior Hatter Add-on Faces Set A - the faces work with both Polka Dot Pals and Junior Hatters - you just need to be careful when lining them up!  I've used Promarkers for colouring plus Christmas scene dies from my stash.


I've also used some satin red ribbon from my stash along with bakers twine to tie the ice skate charm to the bow.  I printed the sentiment on my computer.

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Rub-A-Dub-Dub in the Christmas Tub

Merry Christmas Dr Digi fans!  Here is a card I made for a work colleague to give to her Husband for Christmas.  As it was their 35th Christmas together she wanted reminders of that year, hence the film posters hanging on the wall behind Rub A Dub Dub.


I've used Promarkers to colour plus papers from Polkadoodles - Snowtime Like Christmas 6x6 papers, made the floorboards myself and used some little glass fairy lights for decoration.  I'd like to enter the following:

I've made a Christmas Tree table decoration which is actually a box and I've used papers from Polkadoodles - Snowtime Like Christmas 6x6 paper stack.  The large fancy snowflake die is also from Polkadoodles and I've used some burgundy card from my stash to cut it.


The half pearl and gold braid are from my stash and the bauble is from a pack of little ones I bought last year from Primark to add to gift boxes and it fitted the colour scheme well.  The bow on the top of the bauble is ribbon from my stash.
