STARRY CHRISTMAS

 


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 "Include a star, one or more".

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: 




I have used a piece of starry vellum within a die cut frame, adding a die cut "Merry Christmas" which I've embossed in gold. It's a simple card but it's one of my favourites so far this year.

Hope you are all keeping well.

I have been stamping again! Musical notes, Santa, snowflake border and the sentiment all stamped and embossed in white, on Kraft card, mounted on a snowflake background.

Bit of a sad day for me today. My Dad would've been 90, on Wednesday 24th March, it will one year since he passed away. He was such a great man, miss him so much. Just going to try and keep busy!

PANDA BIRTHDAY

 


Good morning!
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! This month's prize is this:


Dovecraft Paper Pack
"Fall In Love"
6" x 6"
I had to make a card for my son's girlfriend, it was her birthday in February. She loves pandas so that was an easy theme. I managed to find some digi paper in a bamboo design, and used a little panda stamp, and some "Happy Birthday" bunting die cuts.

That's another month gone. It's a tricky time of year for me. Anniversaries of losing both parents, and it never gets any easier. But we plough on!
Looking forward to seeing your makes.
Hugs
