This month's Challenge over at Christmas Kickstart is 'Out of the Woods' - and here's is my offereng,, as well as my Sunday Snippets card for this week:
I used:
- A6 white card blank - side opening
- trimmed a snippet of Tonic pearlescent 'Majestic Gold card down to just slightly smaller than the card blank
- trimmed an image page from the utterly gorgeous Stamperia 'The Owl's House' 8" x 8" paper pad, down to slightly smaller than the pearlescent gold layer
- glued the image panel onto the pearlescent gold panel
- adhered the image layer to the card blank - using very narrow foam strips
- finishing touch, added a white die cut sentiment from my little dish of die cut sentiments. I'd used white snippets for a double layer and my very favourite Tonic 'Merry Christmas' die - sadly discontinued
- finito!
I stumbled across the 'Owl's House' paper pad on this blog - thanks for the inspiration Ellie!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
- Christmas Kickstart #108 HERE - 'Out of the Woods'

Dudley Pupdate: The Havanese are such a breed of sunshine, velcro, love, panic, lunacy and calm - all mixed together. Certainly never a dull moment. Now and then Dudley has a crazy 10 minutes racing around and around the ground floor of our house, using it as a race track.He loves to skid down the tiled hallway and basically can get over excited in the process.
We had one such evening early this past week and right at the end he decided to race up the stairs to me in my craft room as a 'finale'. Same as when he was a puppy and escaped from upstairs, he lost his footing and went tumbling back downstairs. On both this and the previous occcasion Len happened to be at the bottom of the stairs and caught him - in a pretty impressive rugby tackle. Dudley certainly has no sense of danger when he's fired up with doggie adrenaline! I'd call it 'totally loopy' to be honest!
The subject of being unable to comment on our embedded comments has raised it's head again, after a long silence, with a good blogging friend having problems. She comments
from her laptop, I've tried and she has too (obviously) to work out what setting(s) might be causing problems. We're both stumped and any input would be gratefully received! She uses Chrome as her browser, as I do. I might even send Dudley round to give you an all-over lick and towel-down - if that's your price for spilling the beans! Any suggestions?
Love as always, Dudley 'the bouncing ball' - and yours truly,
Such pretty paper on your lovely card Di! I don’t even understand the question, let alone have an answer 😂😂😂, but I know how frustrating it is! I hope she finds a fix xxx
ReplyDeleteP.s. thank goodness Len has rugby skills, phew!
DeleteAfraid no help on the teckie question.
ReplyDeleteSo Dudley still gets what we call 'the mad's', they seem to lose all sense of perspective in those moments, Fleur still has them daily, charges from one one of the house and back again repeatedly (or until stopped) with back legs getting there before the front ones.
Thanks for sharing those gorgeous Owls with us at Allsorts. Will do my best to get something snippet worthy made.

Great card Di, what a beautiful owl scene. Thank you for sharing your lovely creation in the Allsorts Challenge.
ReplyDeleteI’m not sure what the problem your blogging friend is having. 🤔

Again you've found an absolutely gorgeous paper design and made the very best of it - beautiful result. Perfect for the current Allsorts challenge theme of things with wings. So glad loopy Dudley didn't suffer any ill effects from his mad dash around the house - bit scary though I imagine. Sorry, can't help with the blog problem. Like Liz, I don't exactly understand what the problem is but hopefully someone will come up with a solution.
ReplyDeleteAn absolutely stunning Christmas card made with that beautiful paper and finished off with the fab sentiment.
ReplyDeleteGood job Len was there to catch that little bundle of mischief! xxx

Your owl Christmas card is darling! Poor Duddly falling down the steps.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely image, Di. I do love owls. We had one turn up in the tree opposite our house a few weeks ago and to hear it calling and see it fly was amazing. After a few days it moved on and hasn't made itself known since. Poor Dudley, and well done Len! He certainly keeps you entertained! Thanks so much for playing along with Wendy and me at CKC. Jo x
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful Di and happy to have inspired you to buy this paper pack :)
ReplyDeleteI've bought several more since but afraid they're mostly sitting unsused for the time being.
So glad you joined us at Allsorts challenge!
his card is absolutely stunning! 🦉 The beautiful snowy woodland scene feels so calm and magical and those two owls are simply captivating. The soft colours and gentle snowfall create such a peaceful winter atmosphere. A truly elegant design that captures the spirit of the season perfectly 😊 Thank you for sharing your wonderful creation with us at the Christmas Kickstart Blog and we hope to see you back again soon 🎄
