New Look !!

Well I am just about ready to take on some challenges. But first I thought a new beginning needed a fresh new look. I went searching for the right template and found this pretty one on Leelou's Free blog layout site. It was very easy to download once I figured out what I was doing.

Hows this weather, perfect for scrappin.

Stay tuned, I will be returning soon... I promise!!

Cards

I am loving all the Xmas Card challenge atm over at Scrappin Katz. These first two cards I made for last weeks challenge, we had to use ribbon,hand stitching and a tag...

With all these challenges I am getting lots of LO done and most of importantly using up my supplies so I can buy new ones LOL..

X-Mas Card Challenge

This card I have made for the Scrappin Kat xmas Card challenge, this weeks challenge was to use the colour combo Red, Green, Black and pink.. I had trouble slotting in the black,

Here is another card using the same critera. Not sure where I seen this technique, but all I did was punch out a circle and then sponged some certainly celery and kiwi kiss ink in the cut out, then stamped in Riding Hood red ink using the spotlight on christmas stamp set.

MMM Chocolate !!

All products used are from Stampin up except for the lettering.
I have used the lovey Ski Slope Designer Series papers in the Spring mini catalogue, chocolate chip cardstock and Kiwi Kiss Cardstock.

I also made the brads using the same DP, I love using the build-a-brad it adds that special element to match perfectly with any LO. I also used the pattern stamp from the Friends 24-7 stamp set, printed in chocolate chip ink.

Enjoy, I will share some more LO's soon....
