Star and Snowflakes

Yep, its another Christmas card - my total is looking pretty impressive now and the end is in sight!

I've used a star shaped template that I've had for some time and can't remember where it came from - I suspect a magazine but cannot be too sure.


The papers are Let It Snow 12x12 stack from Dovecraft and I've glittered the edges. Snowflakes are a Sizzix die and I've used papers from the same stack along with some very glittery centres that I bought from Dunelm last week (49p reduced from £1.99!!)

I'm thinking that it needs a sentiment somewhere but I don't know where or what to put so it will stay like this until I've made my mind up!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Cute Card Thursday: Clean and Simple
Digi Doodles Shops Best: Shaped Card
Fab n Funky: Christmas
Ooh La La Creations: Christmas

  • Papers: Dovecraft Let It Snow 12x12 paper stack
  • Dies: Sizzix Snowflake
  • Sparkly Centres: Dunelm mill

Mary, Mary Quite Contrary

Mary, Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow?! If anything like mine - very fast! My strawberry plants which started off as being just two are fast growing and sending suckers out which have been duly planted in pots so that they can be re potted to a more suitable location (hanging bags and baskets on the fence!) They are an organic variety from B&Q and the strawberries are wonderfully large and sweet! Now I have a decent covering of crushed egg shells in the pots I no longer have slugs!



Anyhow. My card is for the Poodles Parlour challenge which is:


Round and Round the Garden

If you look closely, there are tiny flowers in the paper! The papers and flowers are all from the Dovecraft Tea House collection - 6x6 paper stack used. I bought them on a recent trip to Dunelm mill and they were a bargain! The image is from the Poodles Parlour and I've coloured it with Promarkers.

I've added some coloured card from my stash (forgot I had some this shade!) and also some sparkly bright pink card (I've had it for ages and rediscovered it when looking for something else!) and also some ribbon. Added some card candy and also the liquid pearl drops around the edges of the card and image.

It's more vibrant in real life - pesky weather! I've also followed the Sweet Sketch Wednesday sketch as they are fantastic sketches!

I'd also like to enter the following challenges:

Incy Wincy: Something Old, Something New (old are the turquoise and pink papers and ribbon, the new is the digi stamp)
Passion for Promarkers: Diva's with Glam and Glitter (liquid pearls?!)
