Christmas Is Coming

Good morning all,

Christmas certainly is coming at an alarming rate.

Every year I swear I will be more organised and every year it's always a last minute rush!

This week over at The PaperShelter we have a brand new challenge

As always we have an amazingly generous prize from

Veronica and Pedro

The theme as the title suggests is

'Christmas Is Coming!'

This week I have used one of the pre- coloured images to create a 'chocolate card' for our gorgeous grandson to give to his teacher at Christmas. I made one earlier this year but of course he needs more than one!

The image is 'Are You Ready My Friend?' and comes in both pre coloured and line art so you can colour it yourself.

and the inside .........

Ryan is thrilled with it - I hope his teacher is!

The papers are from two digital kits by Stampin Mindy called

Cold hearted and Country Christmas available here 

 The vines are cut using Tonic dies which cut through most things like butter.

The sentiment is a digi stamp from Pink Gem Designs.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts and the ribbon is from my stash.

I do hope you enjoy the challenge.

Have a great day

Good morning,

I hope everyone is well and enjoying this gorgeous weather. It’s Wednesday again and time for a brand new challenge at

The PaperShelter 

Our theme this week is ‘Winter Fun’ - which can include Christmas cards.

As always we have an amazingly generous prize from

Veronica and Pedro

For my card I chose the gorgeous  image called 'The Beautiful Skier.

As always she is coloured with Promarkers.
I teamed her up with a couple of background stamps from Make It Crafty.
The fancy border and snowflakes were cut out using my Sihouette Cameo.
The flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts.
The pearls are from my stash and the lovely paper id from a digital set by Katie Pertiet - can't reemeber the name but it is available here

Have a great day and enjoy the challenge.
