The one with my first FF DT cards!

A very Happy New Year and best wishes to you all! 

 

Hope you've all had a lovely Christmas time, I cant believe how quickly the time has passed since my last post, we have been staying with my parents over Christmas and the New Year and have hardly had anytime to get near the pc, but Im back with you now!

 

So, for my first post of the year - another first! These are my first DT cards as a

 

 

I am on the monthly challenge team, and our theme for January is BIRTHDAYS

The first card, obviously, had to be a Forever Friends image, which I have cut and mounted using Go Kreate dies, the paper is from Papermania, the ribbon, pearls and slider are from my stash and the flowers are a Joycraft die.

Second up, and I've used an image from one of our lovely sponsors - the digi garden - isnt he cute, he looks so much like my Cameron. I have used the trusty swiss dots folder together with a button and twine from my stash and gingham washi tape.

Very much looking forward to the year ahead, and visiting all of your wonderful blogs

Wishing you all one happy little christmas

Have been a bit distant from the world of blogging over the last week, what with Christmas prep and other things going on, but I couldnt let this very special time of year pass without wishing you all, my lovely friends, blog followers, design team-mates and fellow craft addicts, a wonderful and very Happy Christmas. Hope you all have a great couple of days in whatever way, and with whoever, you spend it.

The one with the gorgeous Reindeer!

Hope this weeks is going well for you all, hasnt it been cold! Just having a Vanilla Latte at the moment, which is warming me quite nicely

 

As its Thursday its challenge day with AUD SENTIMENTS and this time is an

 "Anything Goes for the Festive Season"

.....so that could include Christmas or Hannukah, Kwanza etc....but you must must must include a sentiment!

 

We are sponsored this time by the fantastic Birdie Brown and as a DT we were lucky enough to work with some of Torico's gorgeous images.

 

For my DT card I couldnt resist this reindeer.

 

He is coloured with promarkers, and mounted with Go Kreate dies. The paper is an oldie from Papermania and the gingham section is Washi tape. Ribbon and pearls from stash.

We also have a DT call running at the moment....if anyone is interested in joining a wonderful and really friendly team, go take a look!

Hi to you all! Hope you've all had a lovely weekend and are getting on top of your Christmas preparations. Am just about done with the pressie shopping, so slowly getting there!

Anyway, as its Monday its challenge day with Cutie Pie's and this time round we want to see your Cute Christmas cards....so its a nice easy one, as its such a busy time for everyone we have also exteneded the duration of this challenge, so it will run to the beginning of January. We are sponsored this time by our lovely friends at

 

 So, onto my own DT card, and I have used a super cute Tilda!

She is coloured with Promarkers, the papers are from Helz Cuppleditch "special delivery", the ribbon and card candi from stash, the snowflakes are Marianne dies and the sentiment is my own creation

another day, another doily!

Hi to you all! So its monday again, and I have booked today off work to go do some Christmas shopping....yay! Its mostly stocking fillers on the list today, as the hubby and I were super organised and sat down at the computor last Thursday and ordered most of the pressies on-line - easiest Christmas shopping trip ever!!!

Anyway, my card today is a Mid Challenge DT card for our "Use a doily" challenge with THE CUTIE PIES. We still have a week to go with this one, so plenty of time for you all to join in!
I have once again used an image from our sponsor Pink Gem, which is coloured with promarkers, and have used go kreate dies to cut and layer. The doily is from Pretty Little Ribbon shop, the papers are from Helz Cuppleditch "special delivery" which i've used lots this year. The sentiment is a freebie from the wonderful Bizzy Becs I have steered away from adding buttons, or pearls or whatever, to try and keep my postage costs down a little. Having family and friends in various parts of the country can get kinda expensive this time of year!

Well, have a good day, whatever your up to!

I would also like to enter this card into these challenges:
little claires - Christmas
