First Xmas Card of 2011!!!

I thought I would make a start at my christmas cards for 2011!!! This is card number 1 of 60!!! I have been feeling a bit down lately as have had a hard year with alot of things happening, so decided to do a bit crafting today to try and make myself feel a bit better. It has worked a little bit but wish I could feel alot better. I haven't done hardly any crafting this year as you can see from my blog but I am changing that starting today and aim to make at least 3 cards a week for the rest of the year. I will have to saying I have another 59 christmas cards to do!!!

Right then onto my card. This one is for the Sketch and Stash Challenge #70 - Fee Choice Sketch. We could choose any of the sketches from their catalogue, so here's the one I choose. Sketch no. 12:


And here's my card. I have used my new Me to You Christmas Collection for this card. How cute is this topper? I just love Tatty Teddy.

Christmas in August

Hi all I'm back again I've made my first card with the collection from Crafter's Companion designed by Stacey Barras. I have coloured the image using sparkle pens and added extra details with a white gel pen, glitter and gems. I'm really pleased with how it has turned out. That's it for this evening.  Hopefully will be back tomorrow to share something else with you. Thanks for popping by Hugs

I left it for a while whilst I came up with what I wanted to do. Then I decided I wanted some bigger flowers, and found some Prima flowers and added some additional mixed media elements and smaller flowers I already had in my stash. Along with glitters and diamante embellishments. I also die cut a fancy flourish for the corner (not that you can see much of it, oops) and a quote. I did two layers for the die cuts and glued them together so that they were thicker. Well here's a picture of it   I'm quite pleased with how it has turned out.  This is a video which shows some of the elements in more detail. You can even see the glitter sparkling.
