Christmas Cheer

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is our lovely Tracy's turn to host and she would like to see 'Colours Of  Autumn'
Here is what I did, I used a House Mouse stamp, and decided to go with a Christmas card but sticking to Autumn colours.  I quite like the finished product and the colours make a nice change for me as I always end up going traditional with Christmas cards, reds, and greens.                                                                

Don't forget to head over to Allsorts for all the details of this challenge, and to check out all the fabulous inspiration from my very talented team mates.

Christmas Gift Box

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is my turn to host and I would like to see 'Anything But A Card'
I made this for a wallet I bought my Dad for Christmas, it was from Clarks's but didn't come with a box so made this.
I used a score board to make the box, the wreath stamp and the sentiment stamp were freebies from a magazine. These dies were just right as I was trying to keep it quite masculine, so didn't want to go too fancy.

The prizes this week are from:-

Christmas Everywhere!

Hello and welcome, it's a new month for Stamping Sensations and Penny black & More @ Allsorts challenges, if you didn't get the chance to join in last month's challenges this could be the one for you.

At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'Festive Florals', and of course the first thing that sprung to my mind was Poinsettia's, I die cut them out of vellum for a softer effect as I thought they went better with the papers that was supplied to us by one of our sponsors Once Upon A Stamp.  I cut the trellis edge with a die on the front to give it some shape.

We have sponsorship this Month from




And of course, the Design Team have created some stunners to inspire you. Please do pay them a visit to their individual blogs - it means a lot to know you appreciate their efforts.

And now onto my second challenge creation, this time for Penny black & More @ Allsorts, where the theme is 'Anything Christmas' So you can use any of your Christmas images for this challenge.  I used one of my favourite Christmas pads, Nordic Christmas by Trimcraft.  They seemed to go well with the penguins knitwear.

We have prizes from Penny Black, Crafts U Love, Crafts Ribbons  Now isn't that a lot of prizes, definitely worth getting your animal stamps out isn't it!!!!!!
