Christmas Card Club challenge #13 - Santa's Sleigh

 Hi Crafters,

I'm so late on parade this time - I hope the CCC ladies and Kate will forgive me for taking so long to join in with her challenge this time.

Kate has chosen the theme of SANTA'S SLEIGH 

I have used a very old Papermania stamp that has been in my stash since I first began card making I should think. I've used Cosmic Shimmer Bright Gold embossing powder for the image and sentiment. Gold mirri card and gold glitter card for the layers and a few gems to finish. As I was late playing along I thought I had better make the most of the opportunity to create four cards this time.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

CHNC Every Saturday - #600 ATG Christmas

Unicorn Challenge - #77 Monochrome

Rudolph Day Challenge - ATG Christmas

All the crafty shopping channels are starting to show their Christmas goodies this week, I wonder how long I will resist the impulse to buy more stash? I really don't need anything Christmas themed at all but you know what it's like, each new release has something just a little bit different to what you already have that teases you into buying it. I really like the new Carnation Crafts Christmas collection but it is very expensive I will just admire it from afar :o)

Thank you for visiting and for all your comments recently, I appreciate and enjoy reading each and every one of them.

Christmas Card Club challenge #12 - Let It Snow

 Hi Crafters,

It has been a fortnight since our last challenge and so today brings the twelfth challenge for our friendly Christmas Card Club and the theme this time is....

LET IT SNOW

Trying to get ahead with some family Christmas cards I made this for my brother who loves old tractors. I managed to find this picture on Google which went really well with the colours in the Crafters Companion papers and the Let It Snow theme.
