Bringing Gifts

Hi everyone.
I hope you are all well today.
I can't believe how cold it has been here.....very frosty first thing but gorgeous sunshine, so Brogan and I decided to have a drive through the Lincolnshire Wolds to a large garden centre. It was such a glorious morning and the scenery and colours were amazing. 
We had a lovely time, lots of Christmas shopping and lunch to finish off....then a leisurely drive home.
Anyway on with a card I have to share.

This is another card to add to my growing list of finished Christmas cards. I think I am almost there now.....maybe one or two more.
The pre~coloured image is from Lili Of The Valley as are the papers. I used Kraft cardstock to mount the papers and added a die cut poinsettia which came from a pack of die cuts that I've had for ages from Craftwork Cards. The pearls, lace and the poinsettia centre are from The Hobby House. I finished my card by adding lots of Stickles and I will add a sentiment later.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:~
Bearly~Mine Challenges ~ # 113 Traditional Colours (Red & Green) Using Die~Cuts Ladybug Crafts ~ Use Kraft Cardstock Creatalicious Challenges ~ # 57 ~ Christmas Time

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.
Hopefully I will have another card to share tomorrow.

Just Relax

Good afternoon everyone.
I hope you are all well.
I am hoping to catch up with you all this week as my blogging and commenting has been seriously lacking of late......I seem to be so busy and haven't time for anything at the moment. 
I have a week off work though so am hoping for some crafting time and to try and get all those extra jobs done in the house that I always think need to be done for Christmas......as if anyone else would notice other than me of course!!!!!!
Anyway I have a card to share.....

I made this card for my partner's dad who's birthday it was last week.
The papers and the image are all from Lili of the Valley. I mounted the papers on black card as I thought this went quite well together. The pearls are from The Hobby House and the sentiment is computer generated. The clouds are die cuts which I finished by edging with some grey chalks to add a bit of depth.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:~

Happy Birthday

Good evening everyone.
I hope you are all well.
Well I don't seem to have much time at the moment for blogging or card making but I'm doing my best to keep up!!!!!
Here is a quick card I made using those wonderful art pads from Lili Of The Valley.

  I just love these pads and they are so pretty. I have teamed this image with my favourite papers from Craft Creations Ltd. The pearls are from The Hobby House and the sentiment is computer generated. I finished my card off by adding some liquid pearls.
I tried to keep this card simple as it was going in the post but I don't think these beautiful images need much adornment to be honest.
Thank you for taking the time to drop by.
I hope to pay you all a visit over the weekend.
Have a lovely evening.
