Merry Christmas

Hello everyone

This is my last Christmas card for this year and it's for my daughter, it seems it's always those important ones that are last to be done!

I've used the Penny Black stamp Dashing Through the Snow, coloured with ProMarkers, Memory Box die and my old snowflake punch with glitter paper, the background papers are Country Companions Christmas pad again and I've used lots of Stickles and Glamour Dust for the snow.  I decoupaged the Christmas tree and sledge and paper pieced a couple of the parcels.

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:

Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Christmas
Without Words - Nearest and Dearest
Papertake Weekly - Last Christmas ..... card of the year
My Mum's Craft Shop - Wintery/Christmassy - 3rd entry

All that's left to say is a big thank you to those who have supported me in my first 6 months of blogging and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and happy and healthy New Year.

Best wishes

Snowy Bear

Those pesky Gremlins!

Good morning everyone

I hope everyone is well this cold, frosty morning.  It's nice to be back!  I've been having computer problems and seem to be up and running this morning even though it might be temporary, I thought I'd take advantage of the connection and post a card.

I've used a Forever Friends stamp for the main image and the sentiment tags are LOTV, coloured with ProMarkers, Stickles glitter glue and ribbon from stash.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Sweet Stampin' Challenge - Cause for Celebration

Fingers crossed the Gremlins have gone!

Polar Sledging!

Hello!

The weekend is here again!

Today I've been playing with another of my new LOTV stamps.  This one is Sledging Buddies and I think it's rather cute!  I've coloured with my ProMarkers and teamed it with Country Companions Christmas Wishes papers, Memory Box die, ribbon from the local craft shop (but I think the online ones stock it too!).  The holographic card, gem and peel off are from my stash.  I've used white glitter and Glamour Dust for the snow.  

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:

Hedgie Birthday

Hello

I hope your weekend is getting off to a good start.

 

For my card today I have used my new stamp from Penny Black (well, new to me) "Mighty Wishes", coloured with ProMarkers and some Pearly Stuff (Woodware) for the icing.  The Happy Birthday stamp is Papermania.  I think the papers and glitter card are Dovecraft but I can't be certain as I've had them a while. The banner is a Memory Box die and the balloons are an Impression Obsession die.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:
