Christmas at Allsorts

 We are feeling festive at

Allsorts Challenge

the alternative theme is Christmas this week and the prize is from Lavinia Stamps

I have been pretty good this year keeping up with the festive makes but I realised that I had way too many cute cards in my pile so made some more grown up models. I am always in awe of inky backgrounds so had another go making these two featuring Card-io stamps. The pretty papers are from Craft Creations.

I added some super sparkly glitter glue that really packs a punch!!

We are looking forward to seeing your Christmassy makes xx

Colours of Winter at Allsorts

Happy weekend everyone. I am hosting at

                 so am entirely responsible for the optional theme of

Colours of Winter ( Anything Goes is also an option if you choose not to be challenged!!)

I found a colour swatch as my inspiration and coloured my cute image, and used an old LOTV paper pad to match. 

I really did try not to make a cute Christmas card but my attempts at a stamped and inked card ended in disaster (and a few sweary words) so I quickly changed my mind!! I decided to share the best of the failed attempts anyway!! (you can't see the blobby embossing and ink smudges too well).

I hope you will be tempted by my theme but in any case your makes will be most welcome.

Prizes this week come from AALL and Create who still have some fabulous bargain to be had, lots of stamps and stencils are half price or less but you need to be quick as the sale will be over very soon.

See you on Monday with, you've guessed it, another Christmas card.

 Until then have a lovely weekend xx
