Welcome to my blog, a bit windy, grey and overcast here, but great for getting the washing dry.
I'm here with the mid month posts for Stamping Sensations and We Love Chocolate Baroque challenges, if you didn't get the chance to join in last month's challenges these could be the ones for you.
At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'Any Celebration' , I've gone with a Christmas Celebration for my card this week, on Saturday I blogged a card with a summery design, and I liked the card so I have decided to use the design again but with a wintery scene for Christmas. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to snow and totally rubbish at capturing sparkle on camera, and this has lots of sparkle.

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 for We Love Chocolate Baroque, where the theme is 'Favourite Stamps' and my favourite from Chocolate Baroque is definitely Honey Bee, I loved using these stamps for their shows in July so much, I decided to create a little concertina book and backgrounds with Distress Oxide for the base. All the stamps are from the set, I thought it was a good way to showcase them.

Contrasts here Tracy, the first one with the Tree of Courage has such a peaceful feel to it. By comparison Honey Bee has given a wonderful summer feel to the second, all we need now is for the weather to catch on to the idea.

OMG that first totally CAS card has blown me away! Just beautiful.
Your second make is just so very pretty, all the different elements make for a really special project.
A beautiful CAS Christmas card, it has a wonderful serene look.
Your second one with the bees is also beautiful, a lovely design and colours.

Two stunning creations, Tracy. You know I always love your Lavinia cards, this one no different with the nice and peaceful winter scene, but what an amazing concertina book you created with the CB stamps and inking! Just beautiful with all those details! And of course I love everything bee related!
Your snowy scene is so so beautiful Tracy! Your second project is so amazing! I love the pockets!!
love the cold wintry monotone look of your Christmas card, very cleverly done. Your concertina book using the honey bee stamp set is very special, love how you have used all the stamps in the set to such good effect, well done xx
Such stunning wintery card! Love the scene, it's so effective!
The concertina book shows the stamp set very well, great idea and design!
Gorgeous stamping and colouring!
The winter scene looks stunning, you've really captured a very frosty feel to this card. Love the concertina card using all the images from the set, the backgrounds are gorgeous too.
