Follow me as I make 52 Christmas cards through out the year (one every week). Part of the Challenge is to get all of my cards made before Christmas. The rest is letting my creativity and imagination loose using different techniques and tools. I am truly excited to taking and sharing the Journey with you. I hope you enjoy!

Week 16 - Recipe
Procrastination is the name of the Game this week! I unfortunately put this one off thinking, oh I have lots of time, loads of time, oooodles of time, then it was Saturday night and I had 2 hours! Here is this weeks Christmas card challenge this one was "Recipe" 3 Designer papers, 2 Stamps, Ribbon and a button. So to help this one along, because clearly I was running out of time, I took a little more inspiration from the Mojo Monday Challenge too! And although I didn't quite make the deadline for the contest I was entering, here is what I came up with for this past Challenge.

Week 15 - Twine
As I mentioned in my last post, this week I had a bit of catching up to do, so I had to do 2 cards this week! I know excuses excuses, but I have been so busy that there has just not been any time to make cards. With work looming overhead, and just the thought of having to go back, I have been stressed to the max. This is why I took the time to make 2 card last night, and here is the second. Over at the Christmas Card Challenge, the challenge was to incorporate Twine, and here is what I came up with. I have to admit, I am please with the results. I used some very old stock stampin up dsp, and chocolate chip cardstock, and one of my favorite Christmas stamp sets with co-ordinating punch. Let me know what you think!
Week 14 - Flocking
Ok, so I admit, I had some catching up to do, so yesterday I made 2 cards...here is the one for the challenge from last week which was Flocking, at the Christmas Card Challenge. I have to admit I love, love, love this card. I used pastels to colour and the flocking is the "fuzzy" parts of the Elf's clothes. I hope you enjoy! Oh and did I mention I took this picture with my new camera! I apologize for the backdrop, I need to come up with
a better idea to make it look seamless but it will have to do for now! See you soon!
