Anything Goes with Crafty Friends

Hello everyone, and a happy weekend to all. I've just been to the hairdresser to do my hair as  tonight we got dinner out planned with friends for the end of the year. Some partying afterwards if hubby is up to it :) Have you done any New Year resolutions ?? I don't usually do but this year I HAVE TO as I stopped all my training and don't like this. .. so I have to do a resolution to start again. Trying to get hubby to come with me but it looks like it's more difficult than finding a pin in a haystack! Will see. Anyway, so this is the last card for this year, a DT one this time for the new challenge that started today at

CRAFTY FRIENDS

and of course I had to do another Christmas Card when the theme is

ANYTHING GOES

For my card I decided to use another of my cute Melonheadz stamps ... I did tell you I loved these images and that I would be using the other ones from the set, so here is another one! I got the other ones printed off but still didn't manage to use them yet. Hopefully I will soon.. and they would be ready for Christmas 2017.. and then for once I wouldn't be late in posting them :P

Back to my card. To make up the card this time I didn't use any DP but stamped the background with my snowflakes stamps from Inkadinkadoo. Then I added some other embellishments and a bow to finish it off. Quick and easy and cute of course :)

We are this time sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps and they are offering a $12 voucher to spend in the store to one lucky winner.

I am entering my card in these challenges today

Another Christmas Card

Good morning everyone. I am hoping you all had a lovely Christmas :) Unfortunately ours wasn't good at all... in fact I think it was the worst ever for us as we spent it in hospital! Hubby had severe pain due to a kidney stone which started early morning on Christmas day! I took him to hospital and they kept him there for three days until he passed the stone. Luckily, which is quite rare, we were going to be alone at home for Christmas lunch, as we were going to lunch to his brother's but they called it off as they were unwell, so at least we didn't disrupt others as well.

On a positive note,  was really excited with a 5 day booking for the end of year at my rental place in Qawra, Malta :) but it was also during the time when I was going to and fro to hospital so I was really really busy with the preparations and everything and I had no-one to help me. 

Anyway, all is good now and he is back home and we are on two days vacation as well :) so I thought I would share this cute Christmas card that I did. I had said that I would be using my other digi stamps from Melonheadz and here is another one.. so cute :)

I colored the image with my promarkers, oldie DP, some die cuts, a sentiment peel off and other small embellishments to finish it off. Love how it turned out and it was quite simple to do.

Here Come the Holidays Card no 2

Hello again and as I said I have two cards today, both Christmas cards and both DT Cards for the new challenge that started today at

Crafting By Desgins

The theme for this week is

HERE COME THE HOLIDAYS

Holidays can be any holiday, so you can do any holiday, not just Christmas!

Me not having done much Christmas Cards yet have of course done just those.

So for my second card, I am again using an image from one of our four sponsors, but this time it's from Melonheadz. I colored the image with my promarkers, found some oldie DP and the top die cut is one of those flower dies which you turn around to make up a flower. Well I used it in a different way as you can see :) and I think it came out quite nice. 

The image is from a bundle of digis Christmas String Beans and they are all as cute as this one that I am using. I printed off six of them, but unfortunately only managed to use this one for now... but you will surely see me making them up in cards real soon as I just fell in love with them.

Our other three sponsors for this challenge are

Beccy's Place

Di's Digis

and Alicia Bel

So four great reasons to join in! and remember you can add up to 3 projects and the challenge runs till the 28th of December!

It's already Wednesday, and finally I'm settling down again after the short break in Vienna and have managed to get my DT Cards done just in time! I'm always so busy after a holiday.. It's really true what they say that you need a holiday after a holiday ha ha :P 

Anyway, so onto my DT Cards for today's challenge at

Merry Christmas

So late with my DT Card this week... So sorry ... I've been to Vienna for a few days with hubby and so was really behind with everything at home !!! And to top it off, yesterday evening we had a boogie night party, to which I still had to do hubby's costume. ...and I couldn't find the pattern! Grrr !! When I managed to find one, it was already late morning, so I had to make up the costume in time for the evening... Anyway, finished it just in time for me to have a quick shower and off we went.

Here are some photos from yesterday he he :) I also had done my costume, but not this year.

Anyway, onto my DT Card for this week. The theme for this challenge at Crafty Friends is

MERRY CHRISTMAS

 We were so lucky to be able to choose an image from our sponsor, and I chose this really cute image from Star Stampz, Christmas Elf.

 

As usual I colored it with my promarkers and then used lovely papers and die cuts to finish it off.

We have another sponsor this week, and it's My Besties

They are offering these lovely images as a prize.

 

Well I'll be off for now, but I'll be back later to add up some challenges as now we are meeting up friends for lunch. It's a beautiful sunny day here in Malta, so out we go :)

Big hugs and thanks for looking
