This image is for this month's colouring competition on Stamping Dragon's facebook page.
I coloured it with Promarkers and glued it onto a tall cream rectangular card blank,
matted with paper from Papermania's 12 Days of Christmas.
I had distressed this around the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink.
I then added a cut out bone, also distressed around the edges, with a bow,
and the bells and bow - the bells were from my 'bit box'!
I am going to submit this to
and also
Now for a few sketches...
This a sketch from
and here is my take on it
I rotated the sketch through 90 degrees...
The image is one that had been stamped and layered for last Christmas -
it was in my 'to finish' folder!
The papers are from a BoBunny Mistletoe 6x6 pad that I think I bought in Dubai in April.
The brads - well they have been in my stash for years!!

This Sketch is
Sketch Saturday #257
for Sketch Saturday Challenge 289 - any sketch after #215
and here is my take on it
I scored and folded a piece of Christmas red card and cut it to fit my envelope.
I then matted and layered with Christmas green and strips of the red.
The image is Digi Darlas Holly and Berries, coloured with Promarkers and with added gems.
At this stage I thought it just needed a little more, so I added the flower (made from a KUTZ die and tiny brad) and stamped the Noel stamp directly on the right side.

My next sketch is Sketch and Scrap December 5th card Sketch
and here is my take on it...
Another scored and folded piece of Christmas red to make the card base.
The paper squares are from the same BoBunny pad as above.
The banners are paper tape from Paperchase - maybe next time I will stick them on a backing card as they are a bit see-through!
I used the 'topnote' with my Big Shot to cut a surround for the image and the image itself.
The image is Digi Darlas Noel, coloured with Promarkers.
Finally the bunting is made from felt and wool!
I am also submitting this to
What else but The First Noel?
Yes - one more sketch!
This is Stella says Sketch #147
And I decided to go away from red and green!!
Not a brilliant picture as the glue still has to dry!
The image is Bugaboo's Winter wishes tag with a little colour from Promarkers and gems.
The papers I have used are from my scraps and the lace is from Paperchase.
Well I started with Stampin' Dragons so I will finish with them...
I am just about to set off for Australia for Christmas and we will be staying in a holiday house - so I have to pack some decorations...I started this bunting for last year but decided the bells were not enough - for this year I have added the buttons...
I am linking this as my second entry to the SDD Challenge - anything but a card
I think that may be all from me for now - see you in the New Year!
Merry Christmas!
