Christmas Crafting (with sketches) #62

Good morning all. What a gorgeous day we had yesterday, woke to heavy frost and brilliant sunshine so ended up taking the dog for a two hour walk along the coast.
Got to take the car over to Galashiels this morning for it's 3 month check. May just have to detour by Kelso garden centre on the way home and visit the craft department!

It's time another challenge over at CCWS and we hope you're playing along with us this year and stocking up on those Christmas cards and projects. It's the Snow Angels turn this week and it was Christina's turn to design the sketch this time. We are being sponsored by Elisabeth Bell who supplied images for the DT to use. We also have a twist this week of "use glitter or bling".


Image is called "Frosty the Snowman" and I've coloured with promarkers and added glamour dust before die cutting. Dies are from Spellbinders. Papers are some odd pages from a Papermania book bought years ago. Ribbons, webbing, pearls, gems and sentiment are from my stash. Snowflakes are punch waste.

 the inspiration of the other DT members whilst you're there.

  21. Another wonderful card. Love that image of the children building the snowman! The gold shimmery paper really sets your card off so nicely!

    I can't find an email addy on your blog so just wanted to say thank you for my gorgeous card! I have a little Irish heritage and the image and the corner stamp borders have a Celtic feel to them. It is very special to me and proudly set out on my dining room hutch! Thanks again Carol! I am so glad I joined this Christmas card club.
