A couple of sketches or so...

My first sketch is from Seize the Sketch Challenge #9

A lovely simple sketch...


 I always have lots of 'bits and bobs' around my craft room -
 I save everything and like to recycle!
I came across this tag that had been on a Mother's Day gift from my daughter - very sparkly!



I layered it up and trimmed it and adhered it to a card base matted and layered with black card then a turquoise DP (from my scraps).
Finally I stamped the 'Christmas gift' stamp from 'Stampendous' in the corner.

My next sketch is Stella Says Sketch #147 and is part of Bugaboo's


I decided to use Digi Darla's Holly and Berries again -
 coloured with Promarkers and with gems added.
Although I bought this digi it is available as a Freebie with



The image and its matching oval mount were cut using the Big Shot and nesting dies.
I used white card, Christmas red card for the banners, DP from Papermania's 12 Days of Christmas and a Paperchase Christmas paper ribbon.

I am just going to add one more card to this post...if you have been reading my blog before you will know that I recently moved to India - but still wanted to make and post all my usual Christmas cards. I was rewarded by a couple of my first batch arriving in the UK in 4 days! Fantastic! Not sure about other parts of the world!
 I am now about to post my 3rd batch.

Anyway because of posting around the world I have been trying to make small, light cards as far as possible. This is a very simple one using a purchased tag to complete it. Just some red card, Papermania DP and a stamped image:

Happy Crafting!!
