NONE SENTIMENTAL CHRISTMAS


Hope you are all well.
It's Saturday so that means it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge Blog. Each weekly challenge is "Anything Goes as long as it's CHRISTMAS" with an OPTIONAL theme, which this week is


"No sentiment".

Hazel offers a prize for the winner, chosen at random, which this week is this:




 Love to Craft
Krafty Christmas

8  designs 30 sheets


I have used a glittery die-cut to make my card, together with a Hunky Dory pop-out picture, which I love!
I've had a busy week studying for work this week. If you need to know anything about sepsis or risk assessments, I'm your man! Haha!
Looking forward to seeing your makes.

QUICK CHRISTMAS TREES


Hope you are all well and 2020 has been good to you so far.

"Use a sentiment".

Hazel offers a prize for the winner, chosen at random, which this week is this:


Love to Craft
Season's Greetings
6" x 6" paper pad
8  designs 30 sheets

I was having a rummage through my stash in the week, looking for some large square card bases. Didn't find those but did find two packs of Dovecraft embossed Christmas cards. I thought these would work well with this weeks theme, so I've made all ten! I used little Christmas tree die cuts, three different designs, together with "Merry Christmas" sentiment , all cut from pale cream glittered card. I've added the little holly sprigs to some, left others plain. 
That's twelve Christmas cards made already this year! Haha! 
Looking forward to seeing your makes.

SNOW GOOD...IT'S 2020


Happy New Year to everyone!

Hope you are all well. I am very late with my post, not the best start to the new year! I've gone from being happy to see the back of 2019 (NOT a good year), to being sad...starting 2020 with a new manager at work. It's all change!
Anyway, it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge Blog. Each weekly challenge is "Anything Goes as long as it's CHRISTMAS" with an OPTIONAL theme, which this week is

"Upcycle or use something old".
I have used a Snowman bookmark which was part of a charity last year, I think. 
Looking forward to seeing your makes.
