Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards Challenge Day 27 X

      This is a make for

 Beccy's Place: A Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge

 - which is now in its 13th year!

This card follows the prompt X - Day 27

I was going to make an X fold card for this but time is running away with me - I may still make one... In the meantime I have used Xmas from Dylusions Christmas collage papers. I don't usually use Xmas...

I started with a white card blank and left this as the background.

The nutcrackers and washi I found in Daphne's Diary magazine - I love this and use them a lot for collage. I found jolly in the 49 & Market Evergreen Collection.

I will add this to the challenge


Happy Crafting!

WOYWW #860

        

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 #860


On my desk easel is where I have got to with Trovember - add one piece of collage each day in November - this is a very quick challenge each day!

Since that photo I added the next prompt - Add something that beeps - can you spot it?


At the front of my desk is  a number of pages which I have been making with serviettes on book pages - the next step is to make them into envelopes but I'm not that happy with the results.


Also on my desk is a junk journal page, part made, from an Art by Marlene workshop. I will share the finished page next week. This was part of a virtual retreat that really starts tomorrow - so I have a busy weekend ahead. Not sure how much I will be able to do as I also have Hydro and an Osteo appointment tomorrow. We have just taken Ollie home and now I 'm about to get ready for my book group Christmas dinner. This is at a college where the students run a restaurant.

I have been continuing the Christmas card challenge at Beccy's Place which is adding to my Christmas card stash but I have fallen behind the last couple of days with having Ollie. My last one was U - an Upright Diamond Fold - but I now have V and W to do...


I have just realised my Conjurer of Dreams post didn't post - Better sort it out!!



Fingers crossed I will visit you all this week...

All for now... 
Happy WOYWW!
