I spotted a great challenge the other day over on Bonnie's blog - it's another Christmas one, called 'Merry Monday' and goodness knows, I need all the inspiration I can get. This week's challenge is to have a snowman (or even a few) on your card:
I used:
- 6" x 6" square white card stock
- surprise, surprise, a Penny Black Stickeroo, from the 'Snowflakes Falling' sheet
- duck egg blue plain pearlised card
- duck egg blue 'snowflakes' backing card
- a snippet of ribbon, again rescued from a box of chocolates, with a bow
- love the expression of sheer joy on the snowman's face so I added a little silver 'Joy' charm, tied using silver cord in a bow
It's great to have found another Christmas challenge to add to my regulars - Sarn's Rudolph Day each month and Hazel's weekly and monthly challenges - production could be stepping up a gear.
Rushing round today so in fairness I have to skip WOYWW but if you have found your way here I'll make sure I get to call by and see you ASAP :)

You do love those stiickeroos. I never see them when I am browsing the web, but my local shop in UK had reels and reels of them. They really do make very good cards too. This is a very happy snowman! I am not on schedule with Christmas cards at all this year. perhaps I ought to do a few more challenges again.
ReplyDeleteI saw wonky squares dies on your site a while back and have been trying to find some. I did eventually track them down and they arrived today!

ReplyDeleteHa ha! Your comment on my blog, made me laugh, Di.
ReplyDeleteI should try throwing those gems over my shoulder. Hubby says why not - judging from my craft room floor it looks like I do that with the glitter!!! ;-)
Gorgeous card. Looking out the window today, I could build a snowman like that!
Love the pretty ribbon and charm - makes the card extra special I think.
