Christmas Challenges (with sketches) #90

Good morning all.

It's time for 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 turn of the Snow Angels to inspire you this week and I've designed the sketch. We are being sponsored by The Stamp Fairy who gave the DT images to work with.

I've used Barry Countdown to Christmas 3 and coloured with promarkers then used stickles for fur and snow. Papers are from Dovecraft. Die from Spellbinders. Tag and twine are from my stash.

You will have to pop over to the challenge blog to see the sketch for yourself, remember to check out

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

Christmas Crafting (with sketches) #58

Good morning all. I finally had a day out yesterday - went down home, picked Mum up and took her down to see my Aunt in the nursing home. My Aunt looks marvellous for 90 and has already outlived 3 of her younger siblings, she puts it down to staying a spinster!
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 my turn to design the sketch this time.

Image is called Barry Winter 2 and I've coloured with promarkers and used glamour dust for snow. Papers are from My Minds Eye. Corner die is a new Die D Lites from Spellbinders, vine die is from Memory Box, all other dies from Spellbinders. Sentiment and gems from my stash.

Fairy Funny

Both Bah! Humbug!and Jingle Belles are looking for funny cards this week and the Die Cut Dreams challenge is A Merry Fairy Christmas. I used a Stamp Fairy digi to produce this card:

Not the best photo I'm afraid! The sentiments says " Make a fairy happy this Christmas....put a star on top of the tree" and inside the verse is "A Fairy...has a hard time, up where the tinsel flickers; a wand of gold stuck in her hand and a fir tree up her knickers".

Fairy is coloured with watercolour pencils, backing paper from my stash, finished with a bow and a star.
