Hello... hope you are all having a lovely weekend! Simon Says Stamp have a 'Choose a Sketch' Challenge this week... I really liked one of the sketches and so I thought I'd make a Christmas Card using some of my new Crafting stash...
You can choose from two sketches..... here... and I've chosen Sketch 1 .....

| Simon Says Stamp 'Choose a Sketch' Challenge |
Image: by David Parkin from Simply Cards and Papercraft Magazine available for free here!!!
Papers: Sherry K Designs - 'Merry Christmas to You' and 'Floral Christmas'
Embossing Folder: - Sizzix 'Powdered Sugar and Snow Globe Set'
Die: Memory Box - 'Corner Bow'
Die: Spellbinders - 'Create a Flake'
Sentiment: Lili of the Valley - 'Christmas Grungy Messages'
Nailheads: JosyRose
The image is free at the above link... and the gorgeous Sherry K Design papers and the Embossing Folder are on offer at the moment... so if you fancy grabbing some bargains! ;-)
I changed the Floral Christmas paper slightly... it has a cream background and so I alpha'd it to make the background clear and print out white.
Aww isn't this wee doggie adorable!! I've coloured him with Copics... and used some Snow Crystal glitter on the snowballs and some Flock on his hat bobble... but it isn't showing at all on photo!! looks nice in real life though! LOL
I would like to enter the following challenges:-
Ooh La La Creations - 'Our Four Legged Friends'
Simon Says - 'Choose a Sketch'
C.R.A.F.T. - 'Christmas in March'
Cute Card Thursday - 'Anything Goes'
Christmas Stampin' - 'Sparkle and Shine'
52 Christmas Card Throwdown - 'Animals'

Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge Extra - March - 'Anything Goes'
Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge Extra - March - 'Anything Goes'
I have had a lazy Saturday... spent most of the day Crafting and enjoyed it .... then stumbled across some Who Do You Think You Are USA... new episodes on BBC iPlayer... so watched the first one with Martin Sheen... very, very interesting... so if you like WDYTYA then it's definitely worth taking a look! ;-)
Thank you for all your lovely comments... I will be catching up with you all very soon!
Love and hugs!
