Christmas riding

Thought I had better start some Christmas card making. So thought I would start with the Challenge over at Winter Wonderland where the theme is gingham or check. This so didn't quite go the way I planned, but there is still gingham. I thought I had gingham in another paper pack, but couldn't find any. But hey, I bought this pack at the weekend (so maybe shouldn't quite be using it yet - haha). The paper is by Dovecraft. The stamp is Bilmalarna and the sentiment is Lili of the Valley. I have also followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday #248.

Xmas in July

Over at Cute Card Thursday they want to see Christmas in July. Hey, I'm getting the hang of this Crimbo thing. Anyway, for this one I used a cute Bildmalarna stamp with Pink Petticoat papers. A punched out snowflake with a button on and I printed the text out. Fairly simple, but I like. Please excuse the piccies. I'm trying different angles to see if they look any better, but they just look squint. Don't you just want to straighten it up.

A Spoonful of Sugar #60

Over at A Spoonful of Sugar they have a sketch by Debbie. I enjoyed doing this sketch - once I had figured out what papers to use. Yep - I coloured the image in first and then looked. Anyway the stamp is by Bildmalarna (or something like that anyway) and I got it from Bunny Zoes crafts The papers are from Funky Hand and the flowers were from Poppiecrafts - but they have stopped doing them - boo hoo!! Excuse the squinty photo, but it was one of those days where it didn't matter which way I took it, something was wrong.
