Another Christmas Card

With Christmas just two days away, I thought I would post one last Christmas card that I did, not that I sent out any this year! Not even one, but we just didn't feel we should with our mum passing away last month. As for the decorations at home, we just put out the crib and baby Jesus and that was all.

Anyway, onto my card, which I should have posted last week btw.. but to tell you the truth I was struggling with the theme , and then I was so busy at the office that I just didn't manage it! So today I thought that it's better late than never... and so here it is!

The image that I used is Holy Night from The Paper Shelter.

I colored it with my promarkers and used three different DPs from two different paperpacks. Two are from a Dovecraft paperpack and the striped one was a freebie in a magazine. There's also two different ribbon, ponsietta die cuts and also a recycled sentiment from another card.

Some exciting news now as I was the lucky winner at the ABC Christmas Challenge and won a fabulous die from their sponsor Wild Rose Studio. yippeee :)

Anything Goes

Hello everyone and a good morning to all. Hope you are enjoying your week. We had a public holiday here in Malta yesterday and it being a Tuesday, me and hubby took Monday off as well ... so coupled with the weekend that was four days off from work yay : ) Big happy smile :D We went to Valletta shopping and in the evening on Monday we had the staff cocktail party, which was really nice too. I also managed to buy me a really nice dress last Saturday, spent more than I was planning too, but aww who cares... you only live once !!!! .. and I can wear it for the New Year's Eve gala dinner party we are planning to go!

Anyway, back to today.. a Wednesday, back to work boo hoo : (  .. but back to blogging and sharing my new DT Card for this week's new challenge at 

I ♥ Promarkers

With Christmas just round the corner, and everyone being busy with Christmas preparations and all, the theme for this week is an easy peasy

ANYTHING GOES

Being an anything goes challenge I have of course made a Christmas card! For my card I decided to use this really cute clear stamp of Humprey's Corner from Crafter's Companion. First time using it and it was a lovely gift from my dear friend Pam. I colored it with my promarkers and then made some clouds in the background with ink and a clouds die.
The gorgeous DP, three different ones in fact, are from two different paperpacks which were free in the Quick Cards and the Cardmaking & Papercraft magazines.

Winter

Hello everyone, another week gone by and we're already in December now, so close to Christmas day already. ... so for this week's DT Card I decided to do a Christmas card as it fits perfectly our theme WINTER for this week at

I ♥ Promarkers

 

To make my card I used this gorgeous image from Mo Manning, which I of course colored with my promarkers, two different DP from a paper pack which was free in the magazine Cardmaking & Papercraft and then finished it off with a sentiment, a red and gold glittered bow, and red glittered reindeer and snowflakes die cuts. 

... nearly forgot... I also added three green gems on the snowflakes.

We are this week sponsored by Marianne Design and the lucky winner will get this lovely prize.
