Passion For Markers Challenge #668 - Traditional Christmas Colours

 Hi Crafters,

I hope you've had a fab week so far?

Today sees a new challenge at Passion For Markers and this week it's all about TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS COLOURS

I have used one of our Sponsors images called 'Noel Tannenbaum' from Colour of Love which has been coloured with Promarkers.

The background paper is from a Christmas paper pad called Santa Claus is Coming To Town from The Works and I have added an LOTV stamped sentiment from 'Set 75 Christmas Wishes'. The filigree gold corner is a Spellbinders Die.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

to be added

Pop over to the challenge blog HERE to see what the rest of the Design Team have created to inspire you then join in with us for a chance to win 3 Digital images from our sponsor.

Well that's all from me today, I'll be back on Thursday for a Guest Design Team post and another Christmas card.

As You Like It Challenge #93 - Favourite Christmas Colours and WHY

Hi Crafters,

I hope you are getting ahead with your Christmas card making, if not then why not join in with our challenge at As You Like It with our theme of

FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS COLOURS

and WHY

This was a difficult choice for me. I love alternative colours for Christmas like Pink and White or Blue and Lilac but the traditional colours of Red Gold and Green just called out to me for this sweet image, so here's Bert's Christmas, isn't he adorable?
