Merry Christmas Tracy bears (LOTV images)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I was on Pinterest the other day when I saw some adorable cards with these alphas and bears and I just had to have them for myself! So I was really excited to see they were a digi set from Lili of the Valley so I could buy and create with them straightaway. I have a gorgeous friend in England (I'm in Australia) so I love to make and send her personalised cards so she knows I'm thinking of her. 

I've made a few cards with this alpha set (I also bought the numeral set) so I'll be posting them over the next couple of weeks.

To create this background I used ribbon strips - I added double sided tape to white cardstock and then just stuck the ribbon down and cut the excess off at the edges.




I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - anything Christmas goes 
AllSorts - snowflakes
Card Mania - Christmas
Country View Challenges -  anything goes with optional twist use reds, greens & rust
Creative Inspirations - Winter/Christmas 
Creative Moments -  anything goes with optional Christmas
Digi Choosday - anything goes w49 
Double D challenges - red and white with an optional pop of green
Jo's Scrap Shack - snowflakes 
Not Just Cards - anything goes  
Simon Says Stamp (Mon) - Christmas/winter holidays 
SugarPea Designs - anything goes  
Through the Craftroom Door - anything goes
Word Art Wednesday - anything goes 

That's it from me tonight, thank you so much if you checked out all my cards and tags, I know there were a lot.

Little Penguin Christmas tags (DigiStamp Boutique image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

How sweet are these little penguins from DigiStamp Boutique, I just love them! They were so quick to colour which is always handy when making a few cards/tags. I inked the sky with distress oxide ink, die cut them with my postage stamp die then added some snow mounds and heat embossed the white card so it had a shimmery effect. Then I added some Nuvo drops for falling snow.
