Christmas Cards

Hello Everyone from a wet and grey NE UK. The forecast says sun so it could come along any time soon. Nice to have you join me today at Jumbled Crafts--thank you for your wonderful comments and and all the encouragement they bring to me.

At Craft-room Challenge this time the theme is Vintage Christmas

As the challenge is being sponsored by Crafty Individuals I used one of their stamps for this card. The card was embossed with two Cuttlebug folders and the next layer had a free paper I downloaded and printed out. I made the flower by printing out some shapes in different sizes. Used Distress ink around the edges.

I made another one as well with images from Gecko Galz and the free to use music sheet I found online. This is inked around the edges with Distress ink


I will be entering these at My Perfect Life where Marina has encouraged me to make Christmas Cards by joining in her challenge 

Have a lovely day everyone

Chrissie xx

    I do love that image, and the whole card is just what a vintage theme is all about. I'm taking a bit of a break so forgive me if I don't stop by to see all your entries for a while. XOXO Zoe

Hello Everyone and thank you for the wonderful comments you left while I was away. I did have internet a few times but not for very long so I haven't been able to do my usual blog rounds. I will be back to normal now and look forward to seeing your makes. At Tag Tuesday dear Wendy chose Textures as her theme and it is going well. You still have a few days left to join us there with your textured tag so I hope to see your makes This tag is made of fabric that has metal drops on it. Haven't a clue how they do that but it was from quite a nice old tee shirt that I cut up. I used a plastic doillie and a metal adornment from a belt as well. Go Tag Thursday has Star or Stars as the theme for this week. Good to see more people joining in there as well. A bit of a tag revival going on I think. This is a digital tag with free to use tattoo designs and a background I made in Paint Shop Pro. At Art Journal Journey the theme chosen by Rosie is circles and runs until the end of the mon...

T is for Tag Tuesday and Inchie

Hello Friends and Followers. Nice to have you pop in today and thank you for your visit. At Tag Tuesday this time Wilma our teamie has chosen Cake as the theme I went straight out of the cake tin and into a Goth Wedding where the couple can't decided which cake to choose for the happy day. We have seen a few Goth Weddings when we have visited Whitby and they are terrific events with wonderful costumes worn by all. Vic isn't keen on me taking photographs of the Goths though I am sure they wouldn't mind. If you dress as they do I would think you crave attention. Their clothes and make-up are amazing. At Every Inchie Monday this week the theme the animal Fly As I have only being the heads of all the animal inchies this year I found a drawing of a fly's head--yuk. The colour choices are mine and may not be real Happy T Day if you have arrived from Altered Book Lover blog where Elizabeth and Bluebeard invite everyone to join in on Tuesday with a drink related post- or par...

Hoping to have internet connection sometime but will catch-up when I get back if not.  At Tag Tuesday we have the Texture theme chosen by our team member Wendy. Everyone is welcome to join in with us with their take on the theme. You can use any medium you like to create your tag This tag has corrugated card and ordinary card in the form of butterflies. It has texture paste. wood, a mirror, complete with me and my camera trying to take a picture. Mustn't forget the bit of fluffy wool as a tie as well. I would like to enter this at Go Tag Thursday  where the theme this week is Anything Goes.
