A quick card done yesterday

Hi Everyone,

I have had some time to make some cards yesterday. Some of which are for upcoming challenges at CRAFT Challenge, so I'm afraid you will have to wait till you can see those. Here is one I made using 'Stryder with Balloons' from Sew Many Digital Stamps and some of my own papers. Hope you like it.

Thank you for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated. 

Love,

Jo.

CRAFT Challenge 135, New Year!

Morning all,

Another Thursday brings another challenge today at CRAFT Challenge again, this time our challenge is 'New Year '.

This week we have 2 sponsors, so there will be 2 chances to win in this challenge. Just for clarification, there are no first, second or other places in our winners, but our first winner drawn will win the prize from our first sponsor, the second drawn the prize from the second sponsor, etc.

Here are my cards for this week, hope you like them. I have used images from both sponsors this week and my 'Blue New Year' and 'Red New Year' papers. You will be able to find some of these papers as freebies on my digistamp blog here.

So, here are our sponsors for this week:

Sponsor 1: Sew Many Digital Stamps

The prize for winner 1 is 5 images of choice from their shop.

 

Sponsor 2: LiaStampz

The prize for winner 1 is 2 images of choice from her site. Unfortunately this is the last time Lia will be sponsoring us, we thank her for her support over the time she has sponsored us.

 

Thank you for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated. I hope you will be joining us at CRAFT Challenge again this week to be in with some fab prizes to be won as well.

Happy Crafting! And wishing you all a Very Happy New Year with all you wish yourself.

Time to put the last few Christmas cards up.

Here are the last few cards for this Christmas. One is for CDAC progressive freebie challenge.


The image for this card is from Digistamps 4 Joy and is a lovely Christmas Teddy, 'Button Bear with Christmas Tree'. Hope you like it.

And here is the last one for this Christmas, any cards that follow this one will be for next year instead. Hope to start on those soon so they will be finished on time and it won't be a last minute rush and stress job.


This image is 'Paul Penguin' by Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More:

So, that finally is me done for this year's Christmas cards. All that is left now is to get myself sorted for Christmas (wrapping the presents and putting them under the tree, getting food organised, we all cook our own this year as planning raclette and fondue) and to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and A Fabulous 2012!

Enjoy your Christmas everyone.

Thank you for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated.

Further Christmas cards.

Yet more Christmas cards to share with you. Next year I will really need to start earlier in the year. Much earlier. Maybe I should already start, lol.

A few more Christmas cards yet.

And here are still more Christmas cards. Hope you like these as well.

Using an image from the CDAC progressive freebie challenge by  Crafty Ann's, this combined with an image by Karen's Doodles, 'Emma's Snowscene'. I used this image previously last year and then used waterpaint to colour it. I was smart enough to scan it at the time and therefore was able to combine the coloured image with the empty globe from Crafty Ann's.

More Christmas Cards.

This year I have had very little time to do Christmas cards. I usually make around 200 to have sufficient to send to family and friends, and for the kids to give to their friends as well as for hubby and myself to give out at work. This year the kids either had to make their own, or use store bought ones. Hubby had them for his work, but for my work store bought ones had to do.


Here is one I made for one of my colleagues, staff had the store bought ones.


Using 'Snowman Couple' from The Crafty Pad Stamp Designs:

Here are a few more of the ones I did for my husband this year:
