Crimbo Crackers Challenge 123 - Snow

It's time for a new Crimbo Crackers challenge and the theme for the fortnight is

Snow

I've used Snowman Hugs - From The Heart Stamps and coloured it with Promarkers and glitter glue.  The fancy snowflakes are a Memory Box die and added an organza and satin ribbon bow.  Sentiment has been printed onto a Sizzix die cut and the snowflake charm is from my stash.

I've added glitter round the edges.  Good luck with the challenge!

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 105 - Snowmen

Time for a new Crimbo Crackers challenge and the theme is:

Snowmen

I've used a cute From The Heart Stamps image - Snowman Hugs which I've coloured in Promarkers and made a shaker card.  Ribbon is from Tesco and the wooden snowflake and charm are from my stash.

Good luck with the challenge - the link up is open until 12 noon on 4 May.

From The Heart Stamps Blog Hop - CAS and OTT

Time for a hop!  Its' the first Friday in the month so its the From The Heart Stamps Blog Hop!

All the team were challenged to use the same image but to make one card clean and simple (CAS) and the other to be over the top (OTT).  There are some wonderful creations by the Design Team and as you hop through don't forget to leave each one of us a comment as a random commenter on each blog will be selected to win an image of choice from the store!

I've used the Snowman Hugs image and coloured both with Promarkers.  For the CAS card, I printed the image directly onto my cardstock, rounded the corners, added glitter glue around the edges and then added a white organza ribbon and bow to the front and tied a snowflake charm and handwritten tag to it.

And for the more OTT (well, as OTT as my cards get!) I've used a Memory Box die for the top and bottom borders, white satin ribbon and then the same sentiment and snowflake charm but added a year charm too.  I layered the image onto the card with foam pads so it stood out a little and then found some half pearls in my stash (I say 'found' which really means, felt I had to use some of the many thousands I seem to have....!)

So there are my two cards - hope you find lots of lovely inspiration as you hop through the team and don't forget, the Project 100 Snowmen images are only $1 in the store and snowmen are really quick to colour too!

You should have arrived at me from Michelle then you're on the right track, if not, please start at the beginning so you don't miss anyone - the start is the blog.  Once you've left me a comment then your next step is back to the FTHS blog.  Good luck!

The hop will end on Monday 9 November at 6am EST and winners will be announced on the FTHS blog on Wednesday 11 November.  Good luck!
