Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning all, it's Saturday (I think) and that means it's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'. It's that time between Christmas and New Year when nobody has any idea what day it is!!

This week our theme is

Bringing In The New

I've gone for New Year and a new digi - this was a free one from Gerda Steiner so it seemed a shame not to use it at least once!

Remember to drop by Sweet Stampin' and see what the rest of the Sweeties have been up to! Perhaps you could have a go yourself, don't forget to stamp now ;)

I Solemnly Swear I Am Up To No Good

Hello!

How was your day yesterday? We had a very chilled Christmas and we're enjoying another chilled day today.

As promised the other day, I've come back to show you what I had lots of fun making this Christmas - a Harry Potter frame for Craig.

It's got everything in it - including wrapping paper and a golden snitch keyring from Primark and a twig from the garden to make a wand! I had intended using a chopstick to make the wand, but I lost it and didn't get a chance to get another. In any event, I actually like the twig with twine tied round it better.

Thanks for dropping by today.

Round The World.....

Hello!

It's Christmas Eve and we have a busy busy day ahead as I'm sure Santa has too.

I'm sharing a couple of Christmas makes today - things that I've actually finished this year!!

The first is a sled and the second is a snowglobe both of which I thoroughly enjoyed making. And if you think I had fun making these, just wait till I show you what I made for a gift!

Thanks for dropping by today.

The Last Christmas Cards

Hello

It's Christmas Eve Eve.... I *think* I might be organised now. Maybe. Well, if I'm not too bad!

So apologies for the photo heavy post but I wanted to share the remaining Christmas cards I made this year, including the one I decided to make yesterday, even though I had 304834980 things to do and I actually have 2083023985 other cards I could have used....

I'll come back and add the details of the cards later!

Thanks for dropping by today.

These Boots Were Made For Walking

Morning

Another wee batch of cards this morning.

The first is one I made for the Operations Director at work. He wears boots like this every day, but I think may have been a little insulted by the card.... oops.

Boots - Digi Stamps 4 Joy
Copics
Happy Birthday - Presscut

This is one I made for a woman at work's husband who likes motorbikes. Kept it fairly simple though.

Norton Motorcycle - Delicious Doodles

Christmas at Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning all.

It's time for a new challenge at Christmas At Sweet Stampin'.

As always it's Anything Christmas Goes

I've gone for some festive reindeer this month. These are the MDF reindeer designed by Lisa Horton for Creative Expressions. I bought them last year and they didn't get used, so I did them nice and early this year!

Thanks for dropping by today.

Snooker Loopy

Morning.

Are you freezing where you are? It's a bit chilly here....

On to today's card. It's one someone asked me to make for her wee girl to give her Granda - my brief was that it had to feature a snooker table as contained within the card was to be snooker tickets for the Scottish Open! Digi Stamp Boutique to the rescue :)
