LOTV Challenge - Un Traditional Christmas

Now for one of my very favourite challenges..LOTV...I just love their sweet stamps. I went to Ally Pally on Sunday and bought loads more..in fact I had a good spend and bought some lovely stash..which included the DP's for this card. This week at LOTV they want to see your untraditional colours for Christmas..and this Cosmo Cricket 'Mitten Weather'...(don't you just love that title..lol...) DP pad is just the thing for the theme...I chose a lovely lilac with just a tiny hint of red and green..the little bunnies wrapped up in their stocking is so sweet and i coloured them with Copics..added some flock for the furry bits..to keep them snug..lol..a few gorgeous WO cherry Blossoms and loads of glitter...do pop over to LOTV and check out the fabulous creation by the DT...really lovely and inspiring..
Happy Crafting

Three Cards...Three Challenges

Hi... I hope this finds you all well and enjoying the late sunshine..I wish the weather would make up its mind..I've got all my woollies out ready for the frosts..and now I'm in a T shirt again!!!...anyway...I havent been slacking in the crafty dept..I have 3 cards to share with you today...the first one is my DT card for Pocket Full of Posies...which should have been posted yesterday...Oh well better later than never..we are really excited as we now have a full DT and they didn't have much notice for this Challenge and yet they have excelled themselves..so I hope you will pop over and check them out...Our sponsor this week is Meljens Designs and this is my card for the theme of Lavender and Old Lace...

I used a cute little Meljens image - TuTu Sweet...coloured with Promarkers and the DP is Papermania which I thought looked like lace and a little piece of proper lace that I found in my stash... added a few gorgeous WO flowers and lots of sparkle...
My next card is for Just Magnolia and the theme is 'Lace it Up'...

I use my new Cherry Tilda..oh she is so pretty and hope that the new Magnolia Die - Old Swedish Lace - covers it... I love the new magnolia Dies but i don't think I will buy anymore..especially the doily one..I very nearly did when I ordered the lace but when I looked at the size I realised that it wasn't what it looked like on the pack..it would appear to be only half the die..so a big No No for the money...I used Memory Box DP's and a bit of Gingham..gorgeous WO flowers loads of pearls and glitter.
My final card today is for Wild Orchid Crafts Challenge...Ribbon & Bows...

..a lovely Tilda again coloured with copics..more 'Old Swedish Lace' papers are Memory Box again...Gorgeous WO Cherry Blossoms...a double organza ribbon bow and loads of pearls...do hop over and check out the awesome creations from the DT..
Well that's all for now..Hope to be back tomorrow...
Take care
