Hello... good morning! I hope you are all doing ok... it's time for a brand new challenge over at
This week it's the turn of Team A... and our lovely boss Hazel is hostess.... she has chosen the fab theme of a
'Colour Theme'
So we would like to see projects using the gorgeous colours above ... aren't they fab... they are like 'Northern Lights' and so I thought it would be really good to make a Christmas Card with these colours...
I made my own papers again so that I could match up the colours... and I've used a very cute Mo Manning image called 'Winter Fairy Halla'
Image: Mo Manning - 'Winter Fairy Halla'
Papers: made by me...
Flower: Prima - Perle Bebe 'Almanac'
Die: Memory Box - 'Corner Bow'
Pearls: From Stash
I've coloured cute little Halla with Copics and Promarkers... and added some Star Dust Stickles on wings, pom poms and 'frost' breath!
The challenge this week is just for fun...
For more details of the challenge... I hope you can hop on over to MAWTT and you can also see my Teamies gorgeous creations for your inspiration.... I really hope you can join us for this fun challenge!
I would like to enter my card into the following Challenges:-
A Gem of A Challenge - 'Things with Wings'
Cupcake Craft - 'Lots of Layers'
Crafts & Me - 'Use a Digi'
Fab'n Funky - 'Your Favourite Embellishment'
(Stickles and Pearls)
Simon Says - 'Flower Power'
Our Creative Corner - 'Anything Goes'
Natalie and Amy - 'Things with Wings'
Sparkle Challenge - 'Favourite Festive Colours'
Thanks for all your lovely comments on my last card... I just have to say... Kath mentioned about her grandma having coats and hats like in my Paris card... well my grandma did too!!!... isn't this a wonderful photo of my gran!! I'm not sure where the photo was taken... but probably Llandudno, Wales... as she loved to holiday there.... I think this will have been taken @1928
Stay warm and snug! :-))
I apologise in advance if I'm a bad blogger for a couple of days... we've been up most of last night with my dad as he had another bad seizure... he isn't too well bless him... he has a lot of other health problems at the moment too...
So I'm hoping we can catch up with some sleep in the daytime maybe... and hopefully we will all feel better by weekend... as it's my daughter's 28th Birthday on Friday!! Ooh it seems like only yesterday that she was a baby!!! Am I really that old? LOL
Take Care and will see you again soon...Stay warm and snug! :-))
Love and hugs

I absolutely love this card Sue, the colours are gorgeous and a great layout too (and that's another one off the list for Christmas!)

Stunning card, fab colours and I have tried to do white printing but it doesn't seem to work so well done on that too. Love the graduated pink paper.
Great layout and I a great die cut.
Fab photo of you Gran, looks like mine, must be the clothes.
Hope you get caught up with your sleep. My eldest was 40 last year so that is when you feel old, you are still a teenager.
