CHRISTMAS GNOMES

 


Good morning bloggers! It's Saturday so it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge . As always, it's an "ANYTHING GOES" challenge as long as it's Christmas related, with the optional theme this week of "Christmas Gnomes".

The winner is picked randomly each week and Hazel is willing to post the prize anywhere in the world! This week's prize is this: 

Enchanted Corner
Gnome Outline Dies and Stamps Set

I have used a gnome stamp, this little fella is part of a stamp of three gnomes but I only wanted to use one, so his little gnome friends have been put to one side for another day. Coloured in with Copics and fussy cut. I then used a couple of dies to cut the backing paper, and added a little sentiment stamp at the bottom. 
Hope you are all keeping well.
Hugs

CHRISTMAS TAG CARD

 


Good morning bloggers! It's Saturday so it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge . As always, it's an "ANYTHING GOES" challenge as long as it's Christmas related, with the optional theme this week of "No Sentiment".

The winner is picked randomly each week and Hazel is willing to post the prize anywhere in the world! This week's prize is this: 

Simple Stories
"Let's Party"
6" x 6" double sided paper pack

I have once again had a rummage through my Christmas stash, and found more digital papers I'd already printed. I think these are from Michele R Designs. I made a little pocket card, adding in the tags and finishing off with some snowflake trim, another "find" in my ribbon box! I'm quite enjoying finding stuff I'd forgotten about!
Hope you are all surviving this lockdown. Don't forget to keep in touch with eachother!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS SANTA

 


Good morning bloggers!  It's Saturday so it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge . As always, it's an "ANYTHING GOES" challenge as long as it's Christmas related, with the optional theme this week of "Use a sentiment".

Just when I thought I was making a dent in my Christmas stash, I rediscovered digital papers! This was a piece I'd already printed which had sneakily found it's way into my birthday box! It's from Michele R Designs, and I simply added a sentiment die cut, from kraft card.

Hoping you are all safe and well. Please remember to reach out to friends, for your sanity and theirs!

FEATURE A CREATURE

 


Good morning bloggers!  It's Saturday so it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge . As always, it's an "ANYTHING GOES" challenge as long as it's Christmas related, with the optional theme this week of "Feature a Creature".

I have used backing paper from a Christmas pack I bought from The Works, together with a few die cuts, to make my card. Finished off with a little foiled sentiment.

It's been a mad start to the year. Another lockdown! I do feel for people having to stay home. Me, I just keep going to work, and feel lucky that I'm allowed out of the house!

I urge people to pick up the phone and keep in touch with family and friends. Look after one another, and yourselves.

Hugs

HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY

 


Good morning and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
It's a new month so it's new challenge time at Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge . As always, it's an "ANYTHING GOES" challenge but you must use some patterned paper or card. Hazel offers a prize each month and is willing to post anywhere in the world so anyone can enter, and you can enter as many times as you like! 
Another big birthday approaches. This one is for my neighbour, she really doesn't look or act her age!
I have used a freebie Hunky Dory pack to make this card, it really is a beautiful kit.

I really do hope 2021 brings you some joy. I have to say that 2020 really did suck! But please try and pick out some positives. Take a walk; phone a friend; do something every day, however small it may be, that makes you smile. And be kind!

Big hugs to all.
