Good morning all.
I managed to get most of the decorations up yesterday but what is with men?? I asked for everything to be got out of the loft...1st shift I got about 6 boxes each containing one item....2nd shift several hours later was a box and a bag...3rd shift was just hard work and I'm sure we still don't have everything yet! Nobody will listen to me and sort the loft so all the Christmas stuff stays together so we have this problem every year....sigh!
Sharing a second card as a Guest Designer at The Joanna Sheen Challenge blog. The month long challenge is to "Make it Sparkle". Fabulous goodies can be found on the wobbly shelves at Joanna's online shop
It's also time for our next challenge over at the Christmas Card Club, it was Sue's turn to choose the theme this time and she's asked us to "Get your skates on ...it'll soon be Christmas!". Here is my card made to cover both:
Using a gorgeous snowy Thomas Kinkade image from Joanna Sheen printed onto artists canvas, simply matted and layered. Ribbon, brad and sentiment from my stash; snowflake die from Spellbinders. Lots of glamour dust and stickles to add some sparkle.
I really must get my CD's out more often...the cards are so quick and easy to make....it's choosing the image to use that takes forever lol!
You'll find the rest of the girls listed on my sidebar if you'd like to pop over and see their creations.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! Thank you for joining us at Party Time Tuesdays.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Carol, love that image too. I forget about my JS CD's but they are perfect for making quick cards and I love that fact. Once I have used all my Xmas stash, which could take another year or two, I will use the papers on the CD's. I do love printing onto canvas - there is something so classy about it. Good luck with the decorations xx
ReplyDeleteWow Carol this is absolutely gorgeous I am such a big fan of TK I have several of his pictures and other collectables so this appeals to me so much a superb card.

Lovely sparkly card for Sue's CCC challenge, Carol - and thanks for sharing for both CHNC challenges too x
ReplyDeleteLoved this vintage Kincaid snowy village. These always invoke a long-ago, much gentler time when I see them, and you've showcased this particular one in such a beautiful fashion. Loved the soft blues & shimmers, with the bright red trims & sparkling snowflake. Perfect Christmas image & very icy...just right for skating. Merry Christmas & TFS
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely winter scene Carol Gorgeous card. By the way, you are getting me into bad habitswith re-cycling - I love it!!! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteCarol fantastic card love the image so traditional. Know what you mean about men and decorations, ours went up today but the fuss it caused ended up going out and crafting with a friend to calm down lol. Love Alison xx
ReplyDeletewhat lovely images....just so christmassy....hope you have a happy one xxxxx
ReplyDeleteThis one really made me shiver - it is soooo frosty on there. You have chosen a great image though and I do understand that it takes for ever to find just the right one!!! So lovely.

Beautiful! I love all the glamour dust and the sparkle. Great image and the way you set the sentiment on the snowflake is wonderful. Now I want to peel mine off and redo it!
ReplyDeleteI had a giggle when you said there is a missing box! I have lost one too. Mine has the coffee mugs and teaplates that are Christmas themed...I feel it is not Christmas in the kitchen without them. The tiny tree I keep on the kitchen counter and the family room Santa's are all in that box...ugggh! Hubby us heading out for lunch tommorrow with his friends, so will have a good search for it while he is gone...lol
Oh my! It's a stunning creation, Carol. Love the sparkly snow detail and that scenery is simply breathtaking. Have a very happy Christmas!
