Naughty or Nice Challenge #34 - Reminder

There's late, a little bit late, fashionably late, and very late...

And let's face it, I'm very, very late with this post!

For some unknown reason, I was locked-out from my blog for a few days earlier this week. Everything now seems to be back to normal, so I'm finally able to post my card for the current Naughty or Nice Challenge.

The Troublemakers have created yet more great inspiration cards, so why not drop by and take a look. The current challenge runs until Sunday 25th December.

Creative with Stamps - Challenge #9 - Mid-month Inspiration

It's mid-point in December, so it's time to remind you of our current challenge over at Creative with Stamps and to offer a little more inspiration!

Isn't this little girl by Mo Manning simply adorable? She was so much fun to colour.

I'm loving my teamies creative offerings for this theme and hope that you'll drop by, leave them some love and join our final challenge for this year!

The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #74 - X is for XXX Xmas

Edna, what are you doing with poor Santa???

It's a triple X-rated challenge over at The Sisterhood this time and, as you can see, Edna's antics are proving to be quite shocking.

My card is a little bit cheeky rather than X-rated but I hope it makes you chuckle!

Check-out my teamies XXX cards if you dare!

November Card Chain Challenge Reveal

Welcome to the grand finale of the 2016 Card Chain Challenge. 

I cannot believe another year has dashed by and that the festive season is upon us once again. I'm convinced someone is stealing time!

Anyhooooo, let's get on with the November Reveal. I sent these happy fish to my long-term blogging buddy, Dawn in New Zealand:

And this cute kitty to the lovely Agata in Switzerland:

My card is still in the mail from my November sender but hopefully isn't too far away!

The Card Chain Challenge traditionally takes a break for December, so I'll take this opportunity to wish Deborah, Gail and all my CCC friends a wonderful Christmas and a happy and healthy 2017!

Creative with Stamps Challenge #9 - Use Christmas Stamps

The theme at Creative with Stamps is sweet and simple this month as Lillian and Monika are asking you to use a Christmas stamp or stamps on your card!

My Christmas stamp of choice is this beauty from Impression Obsession. I die cut some black card to size and stamped the image in Versamark. I dusted with gold embossing powder and heat set it. Easy peasy lemon squeazy, as the children say where I work!

For some reason I like to keep my Christmas cards simple and this one is very, very CAS. It looks lovely IRL but sadly, hasn't photographed so well.

Once again, we are fortunate to have sponsors and prizes at CWS so please visit the blog to get all the details and to see the lovely inspiration cards from my teamies.

Naughty or Nice Challenge #34 - A Christmas Carol versus Frozen

We've got a great challenge for you this month over at Naughty or Nice!

The challenge is to make a traditional OR a modern Christmas card and we're leaving the choice of which style, theme or colour combo all up to you!

I broke out an old Birdie Brown digital image for my card; what could be more traditional than Santa? I like to think that this guy is doing a bit of festive disco dancing.

My teamies have created some gorgeous cards for this challenge but we do seem to be a little light on naughtiness this month so if you think you can put that right please head on over and make some trouble!
