Christmas Card Club Challenge #10 - Christmas Door/Window

Hi Crafters,

Well that was a shock when I came to write this post, when did Blogger decide to change it's format?
That threw me, I don't really like change, so lets see how we get on with this post.
(thanks to everyone for the help with this, apparently there is a click button to revert back to the old version, which I will probably do for now - some of the new features are better but as with all things, some are not I feel)
It's time for our fortnightly challenge and Margaret has chosen the theme of Christmas Door / Window.


I created this scene using an Xcut Die set called Georgian Door, two Gemini Embossing folders, a Martha Stewart Punch and a little Distress ink.

Challenges I'd like to enter:
CHNC Every Saturday - #489 ATG/ Include a Tree or 2
Unicorn Challenge - #54 Use Dies

Passion For Promarkers Challenge #538 - Clean & Simple

Hi Crafters,

It's Tuesday already ~ just have to keep reminding myself of the day.
Hopefully you still have some Easter Eggs left and haven't eaten them all :oD

On to our new challenge at Passion For Promarkers which happens to be my challenge theme this time, I thought I'd give myself a real challenge of 'CLEAN & SIMPLE' as I find these types of cards the most difficult for me to achieve. I'm not comfortable with leaving 'white space' on my cards so this really took me out of my comfort zone.

Christmas Card Club Challenge #8 - Christmas Critters

Hi Crafters,

I'd like to wish you a Happy Easter!
But as it's that time again I'm going to be sharing two Christmas Cards  :oD 
for our Christmas Card Club Challenge of...

CHRISTMAS CRITTERS

The iconic Robin was the first 'critter' that came to mind for this challenge and here is a traditional wintry scene with Mr Robin about to have a drink from the bird bath.


Then I had to have a cute card so here is something I've had in my stash for some time. With the extra time I've had on my hands lately I've been rummaging in to long forgotten stash and trying to use it up, this is a decoupage card kit from Country Companions.
I've placed acetate behind the shop window but it's hard to see here and also lots of Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow on the window ledges.


Challenges I'd like to enter:
CHNC Every Saturday - ATG Christmas
Crafty Friends - #133 ATG
As You Like It - Favourite - Animals /People + Why
( I often use animal images on my cards as I prefer a cute theme and these are usually in the animal kingdom :o)
Fezziwigs Festive Frolics - #8 Festive Animals


Enjoy your day,
Lorraine
