MERRY CHRISTMAS

 


Good morning bloggers! It's CHRISTMAS and 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 "Any Christmas or New Year card".

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:

As is my tradition, I have done a Kit and Clowder colouring project for my card today. This is penguin coloured with Prisma pencils on Kraft card. Love this little fella!

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas, and a safe one!

LATE MERRY CHRISTMAS


 

Good afternoon bloggers! It's Sunday and I'm so late with this post! So sorry, Hazel!

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 the word MERRY".

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:

Mix & Max
"Floral Elegance"
6" x 6" paper pack

I have a basic Christmas tree die and cut five pieces in coordinating papers, stuck them onto a base card, trimmed the overhang, and added a Merry Christmas" sentiment.

I've just finished all my Christmas baking. I've made Christmas Cornish Fairings, Chocolate Chip Shortbread, Ginger Shortbread and a huge Bailey's Cheesecake. 
I've just got a few cards to right and presents to wrap, then I'm done! Got a full week at work but I love this time of year, it's so busy but it's fun!

Looking forward to seeing your makes.
Hugs

QUICK AND EASY 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 "Quick and Easy".

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:
Acrylic Stamp Set

Most of my cards are quick and easy but there's not much easier than this one. A simple square of backing paper, fancy cut in half. This is stuck to the base card and a simple greeting stamped in the middle....thus making two cards from one 6" piece of paper. I've added a wooden snowflake too.

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

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 "Things with Wings".

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:
Set of Acrylic Stamps

I have used my my cute penguin dies to make my card. I love these little guys! I've used snippets of paper that I had left from another card to make the background, and even used the dots from the oval shape for a snowy effect....waste not, want not!

Looking forward to seeing your makes.
