Christmas at Gerda Steiner Designs

Yes indeed christmas is just around the corner...it sure has snuck up fast this year.  Gerda has been busy designing her wonderful christmas collection available in gorgeous rubber and digital stamps.  Take a look HERE.  This little card was made using the little dear digital version from Santa and Friends.  He is one of my favourites from the christmas collection. I chose to go a little shabby with my design.

Gerda Steiner Design November Challenge

Hi everyone.

Well yes its November and Gerda Steiner Designs has a new image for you to enter the November challenge,  it's owl so cute.  You can see details on how to enter HERE.
Here is a little card I made using the challenge image.  I kept it pretty simple and printed the image directly on my card cutting the bottom to look like snow with a circle die adding some pearls to represent snow falling.  Coloured in Derwent Coloursoft Pencils.  

Now all you need to do it pop on over to Gerda Steiner Designs.

Artisant Challenge

Hi and a big welcome to my new follower since last post Chris.  Its lovely to have you with me.

One of my most favourite blogs to follow is Aneta at Artisant.  She creates the most wonderful projects and they are always just perfect.

Aneta has just started running monthly challenges. The challenge for October is using this sketch and/or colour palet.

I tried to incorporate both in my card although my colour palet is softer hues.  I used the Maja Design Coffee in the Arbour collection.  Love these papers lots.  

Words, words and more words.

Yes words and sentiments is the theme for the new challenge at Southern Girls.  We'd love to see your creations congaing words and sentiments.

We have some wonderful sponsors this round so make sure you pop in to see what they have to offer and stop in to the other DT blogs to see all their lovely creations.
