Deck the Halls

Hello everyone and Tis the season to be jolly Fa la la la la la la. I have been singing this song for the past couple of days and I can't wait for Christmas to be here. The card I will be sharing today is a Christmas card (no surprise there) and is based on the sketch from Mojo Monday.

Since its the last Monday of the month, the challenge is to make either a circle or a square card using the above sketch or you can substitute with any shape you have.


Here's my take on the sketch:

I used the sketch to make a circular topper for my tent topper card. Instructions on how to make this card can be found at SSC.

The red backing paper is a download from Pixie's Dust, the green backing paper is from Create with TLC.

The Christmas tree and poinsettia flower are also free downloads which I then layered and decoupaged. I can't remember where I got the Christmas worded backing paper.

I will be entering this card for the following challenges:
Craft Your Passion - Tis the Season
One Stitch At A Time - Seeing Red
C.R.A.F.T Challenge - Unusual Christmas
Make It Monday - Anything Goes
2 Sisters Challenge - Holiday

 Until next time, happy crafting.

The flower used was handmade using the Tim Holtz Tattered Flower Die, which I then glittered up using the Star Dust Stickles and added a bead to the centre of the flower.

Once you have had a look at my card head on over to Sketch Saturday and have a look at the gorgeous cards made by the DT.

 

The topper is the lyrics to one of my favourite thanksgiving hymn titled We Plough the Fields and Scatter. Its a hymn thanking and appreciating God for everything He has done for us.

 

The flowers were handmade using ribbon for wrapping gifts, on which I then adhered black beads to the center. I weaved the DP on the lower right hand card of the card. The black DP is from pixie dust.

Happy Birthday Jesus

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. Card Patterns have a lovely sketch challenge for this week.

 Here's my idea:

The backing papers used were from Pixie's dust Patterned and Plain paper collection and Create with TLC Poinsettia Collection.  The edge of  the red backing paper was latticed. The instructions on how to do this can be found HERE.

I then used the Holly Frame from Create with TLC as frame for the picture of Jesus in the manger. The poinsettia flowers were handmade. The sentiment which says HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS is also from Create with TLC.

Hope you are inspired.

Until next time, happy crafting.

Celebrating Love

Hello everyone and good evening.

" Love is patient, Love is kind, 

It does not envy, it does not boast, It is not proud. 

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, 

It keeps no record of wrongs. 

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in truth. 

It always protects, always trust, always hope, always perseveres. 

Love never fails."  

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Rejoice

Hello once again. Sketch Saturday have a wonderful challenge for this week in which the winner receives a pack of 6 Flex markers. Below is the sketch.

Here's my take on the challenge:

Its is fall card depicting the loss of leaves experienced during the season. This card reminds of the verse in Habakkuk 3:17 - 18 which says,

" Though the fig tree does not bud

and there are no grapes on the vine

though the olive crop fails

and the field produce no food

though there are no sheep in the pen

and no cattle in the stalls,

yet I will rejoice in the Lord,

I will be joyful in God my Savior."

I will be entering this card in the following challenge:
