HLS Christmas Challenge January "Jingle"

Good evening all.

Sorry for being a bad blogger but packing and leaving the house in order is taking priority at the moment. I have lots of posts scheduled whilst I'm away and I'll try to pop in from time to time and maybe show you some of the sights of New Zealand we're visiting. I'm trying to fit some commenting in when I can this week to catch up with you all before I leave on Saturday.

Another month has passed and it's time for the first Christmas challenge of the year at Happy Little Stampers. We do hope you'll join us getting those pesky Christmas makes out of the way early this year. The theme this month is:


Winner will receive one stamp set from HLS.


Here is my card:


Image from Crafty Impressions, coloured with promarkers and highlighted with a gelly roll pen and some glossy accents. Sentiment is from the Mixed Christmas Sentiments set. Bells and paper are both magazine freebies. Die from Wplus9.

Do pop over to the challenge blog to see the inspiration from the rest of the team, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. 

Challenges entered:
CHNC - vintage or anything goes
CHNC Extra - anything goes
Crafty Hazelnuts Patterned Paper - anything goes
Crimbo Crackers - anything goes

    So adorable Carol. I love how you've used musical paper for the backdrop to tie into the song sentiment. Your snowman and reindeer are so sweet! Happy packing and have a wonderful trip. xx

    Wonderful display of this gorgeous card Caroland image used. Love the colours too. Christmas day was a quiet one for us both and missing dad each day. Not the same without him but our trip to NZ did heal some wounds...xx
