Jingle Belles - No Time Like The Presents

Well after a five year break I am back to do a card challenge and Sherry and I chose Jingle Belles for our first challenge for 2019.

This challenge has us using a bit of leftover christmas wrapping paper.  I happened to have a little bit of paper left from my hubby's present to me.  I kept it with the tag still attached as it was very unique and I wanted to keep it and put in my handmade Junk Journal that I made.

I used a Paper Smooches christmas set and a Lawn Fawn - Cheery Christmas stamp set.  My card is kraft cardstock and I used Copic markers to colour the snowman and lights.

Sherry and I decided that we would do regular card challenges but only make christmas cards so we had a supply to send to family and friends next christmas, unless there was a birthday for someone coming up.

Please make sure you use the link to pop over to Jingle Belles to check out everyone elses creations and leave them some love in a comment.

Thankyou for visiting my blog today it makes me happy - Huge hugs, Michelle

Seize the Birthday #14

Hi all on this fine Tuesday afternoon (Australia).  I finished this card for Seize the Birthday days ago but just getting around to posting it now. . . . my bad sorry.  The sketch I had to follow is below my card and it had to be a birthday card for a girl.

I used an October Afternoon paper collection once again as I love OA.  That is it for a few days, so until the next time we meet. . . .

Merry Monday #58

Well here I am on a lovely warmish (for the middle of Autumn) Sunday afternoon with another Merry Monday challenge for you.  The sketch we were to follow is below my card.  I chose October Afternoon paper collection and I love the finished look.

Okay I have another card to put up but it is due to be up tomorrow so until then. . . .

Merry Monday #57

As promised here I am back with another card challenge for Merry Monday blog.  I will have my christmas cards completely made and ready to post before November this year the way I am going lol.
Also for the second week running I got an Honourable Mention over at the Merry Monday blog.  I was thrilled to see this as I have very rarely won or been chosen for mention in any card challenge blog which is why I stopped doing them as it seemed to be the same people winning every single time.
But enough of that negative talk needless to say I am honoured to get the mention for the second week running.

Okay that is it for me today I am off to play with some art supplies and my art journal.  In the meantime. . .

Seize the Birthday # 13

I am here with another challenge and this time it is the same sketch but making a masculine birthday card over at Seize The Birthday.
I had such fun making this card as I don't normally make male cards but I have fallen in love with this little monster card lol.  I have also never before put the abbreviated HB2U on a card but this seemed to suit it just fine in my opinion.

Okay I will be back soon with another finished card challenge.  In the meantime. . . .

Merry Monday #55

Hi everyone!  Here I am back with another card challenge for Merry Monday.  This week it was Tic Tac Toe and I chose the top row of animal, designer paper and ribbon.  I love this Inkadinkadoo stamp because I have a dog hehehe and he is small and light brown or tan in colour. I had so much fun colouring him in even though it is a bit rugged lol.  I am happy with the finished card no less.

Well once again short and sweet as I do tend to ramble in my posts so I need to learn not to.

Until next time. . . .

Merry Monday #54

Hi everyone!  Here I am back with another challenge post of course.  I chose to take part in Merry Monday challenge and the theme was to include SNOWMEN which just happens to be one of my fav christmas things even though we are not in winter here in Australia in December it is our summer lol.

Below is the card I made for this challenge which I think is so cute.  The stamp set is a Paper Smooches set from my bestie Sherry cause she does know I love them so.

The below image is just to show that the theme was snowmen.

Okay hubby is calling me for dinner so I had better finish this post up.  Catch you on the flip side.

But in the meantime. . . .
