Bah Humbug Challenge - Scarves & Mittens

Good morning to you all and welcome to the latest challenge from the ladies at Humbug Hall
This is my 3rd week as a Guest DT and I am enjoying being part of this super blog.
The theme this week is
Scarves & Mittens
suitable for this wet and windy we are having, but also of course for Christmas.
I have two cards to share this week, the first one is an image taken from Giordano Christmas Creations CD, printed onto Glossy Card. I little Glamour Dust is added for sparkle. The backing papers are from my Christmas stash and I added Gold Peel Offs for a finishing touch.

My second card is stamped using a Snowman stamp designed by Elisabeth Bell for Whiff of Joy
Coloured using Promarkers before cutting out with my Scalloped Oval Nestie Die. I placed him on some Red leather look card before layering onto paper, again from my christmas stash.
I enjoyed making them both and the reason for two this week, well, I wasn't entirely satisfied with the first card so decided to have a play with stamps and promarkers. When I submitted my cards to Humbug Hall for approval the ladies kindly said they would show both on their blog.

Next week is my last week as a GDT.
Do pop over to Bah Humbug's Blog to see the fabulous creations from Ann, Max & my fellow GDT Wendy, you won't be disapointed.

CD SUNDAY CHALLENGE - IF THE SHOE FITS

Good morning to you all and welcome to our latest challenge over at
CD SUNDAY
Thanks for your entries in last weeks, nice to see new bloggers taking part.
For our challenge this week, we, the DT's chose
IF THE SHOE FITS.
We have Jocelyn as our Guest Designer for this month, do take a look at her blog, she does beautiful things and this week so has done us proud.






For my DT card I chose to use the lovely CD from Ooh-la-la-Creations which is all about Shoes in Bloom.

I printed one of the backing papers onto 'snake' like card which I had in my stash.

My beautiful topper has been printed on Vellum and then I added a little bit of parchment work using one of my Parchment Grids of butterflies. (What a surprise for me!!)

This has been attached by Brads to some lilac pearlescent card, my sentiment was computer generated onto the same card and cut round with deckle scissors.

My finishing touch was of course a lilac butterfly.


We hope you will join in with us again, remember our rule, please use something from a CD and say which it is you have used.


Do take a look our our blog as the rest of my teamies have some beautiful things to share.
