It's been a busy few weeks. We got back from our France/Germany trip, and we were at home for a few days during which my sister came to visit, and then we travelled to Scotland to visit family. We got back on Monday, and since then we've had a 21st birthday and the tension of waiting for A level results. Well, all that went well enough, so in October, we'll have two boys heading for university. Still to come are GCSE results for our youngest on Tuesday.
So today, I actually made some cards. I used images I coloured while I was away, and the result was five Christmas cards.
I kept all these cards fairly simple - it's probably my default style anyway, and for Christmas cards, it's probably the best idea given that I make a lot of them! All the images have been coloured with Promarkers and added sparkle added with glitter glue. The snowflakes were made using a Spellbinder die in my Wizard and the paper is from my collection. This image is by Elizabeth Dulemba - one of her freebies which is available on her blog.
I'd like to enter this card into the Charisma Cards challenge which is calling for die cuts.
If you read my blog regularly, you'll recognise this image. It's one I used for a recent OSAAT DT and it's by Lexi Creations available at the Stitchy Bear and I Did it Creations Emporium! (Now, that's a name to conjure with!) There are a lot more artists on the team now, and even more choice in the shop. The paper in this one is a magazine freebie.
I'd like to enter this card for Crafty Ann's challenge which is 'Christmas in August'.
I'd like to enter this card for this week's Craft your Passion challenge which is 'Anything Goes'.
