I have used some tartan backing paper together with a few diecuts for my card. My R is for REINDEER!

Next week we will be in December! Who's ready for Christmas?

GLITTERY STARS

 


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 SOME GLITTER".

I have made a card using my star dies, cutting different sizes from different card and paper and layering it up. I've added glitter to the two white stars (I might learn to love glitter one day!) and added a "Merry Christmas" sentiment die.

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

 


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:


Make and Create
"Vintage Love" Paper Pad
30 sheets 3 x 10 designs

I'm feel honoured to know a man who has just celebrated his 100th birthday! One of my customers, who I've known for over thirty years, a true gent. He's gentle, kind, has a brilliant sense of humour, and he still lives at home! Just fantastic!
I made the card using a piece of patterned paper, cutting out the 100 and adding a matching strip at the bottom. He loved the card and thought it so special, he placed it on his mantle piece next to the one from the Queen! Bless him.

Looking forward to seeing your makes.
Hugs
