12 Months of Christmas Link Up February 2026

This is my DT make for the August Challenge

of The 12 Months of Christmas Link up...

This month the theme is "Cozy Christmas"

Our sponsor is

Décosse's Dynamite Doodles

Today I have made a simple card using the paper from this:

I started with a beige card blank matted with green.

I then added a piece of the DP above covered with a die cut from Katscrappiness.

I then added the sentiment (Bugaboo, no longer trading) also placed on green.

Finally I added the snowman (Patty G) coloured with markers.

Happy Crafting!

Outlawz Twisted Challenge - Colour Scheme

This is a new Outlawz challenge which will scroll through the themes

Songs and Rhymes

Colour

Greetings

Sketch

This month it is Colour Scheme where your make should be inspired by this colour scheme, chosen by me:

This is my card:

I used a white card base followed by a mat of deep pink. I then added an embossed layer - a light pink with a heart embossing folder. I covered the bottom triangle of this with a patterned paper. I then added three punched hearts with faux stitching around the edges.

Next came the bling flamingo.

The sentiment is from Stampin Up stamped and then die cut. I placed this on a base of pink and fussy cut it out. I added a little twine and placed it on dimensionals.

Happy Crafting!

WOYWW #869

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #869

Here is my workdesk:

My desk is not really ready to use at the moment - I have dumped a few things on it. There is a pile of small boxes ready to decorate... a few pages of Alice cut-aparts from Natalie May (I am making items for an Alice junk journal at the moment), a weight that I was using to squash some small pages, collage on the desk easel, a few tubs of glue, gesso, medium and texture paste...

Here is the cover and the fourth page in my year-long challenge.
