First Christmas Card

It was my intention to make at least one card every week straight after Christmas but it never happened so I am going to try to use some of the challenges to fit in Christmas Card Making.

A great place to start was the Saturday Sketch as the sketches there are always a joy to work with. Then I saw a lovely Mix and Match challenge at The Shabby Tea Room -you could make you own papers which is something I love doing. Last but not least it is 'anything goes so long as you made it this week' at Come and Get It so here I am with a ,three in one, and a card for Christmas so life can't be bad.

Here are the papers that I designed for the card and some little flowers to match-I had the flower image in its large form on my computer and it was a freebie from a long time ago-the original was red so maybe a pointsetta-I changed the colour to match my card.


This is a freebie digi image that I coloured in PSP and printed onto one of the papers.

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
