Christmas Cheer

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

The snow is falling and I'm sitting here with a hot cup of tea to warm me up! Figured why not make another Christmas card as it is starting to feel all wintery already.

This time I have used Power Poppy's 'Cup of Good Cheer' image, which I printed off ages ago and then never did anything with. I really must stop doing that.

I've gone for a pretty simple layered card again, as I usually do with Christmas cards. It's easier when there's lots to make and better for posting too!

I gave my cups and flasks a metallic look, then added some extra sparkle

Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments mean so much.

Sparkling Treats

Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's been ridiculously cold here this week, so I've been cozying up with hot chocolate and a blanket to keep warm.

Oh, and crafting of course!

I've had this fun image from Power Poppy (Cozy Candlelit Sips) for a little while, but just hadn't gotten around to using it with design team and other stuff I've been doing. It felt like the right time to bust it out though. 

It's never easy to get a good card photo as well as capturing the sparkles, so I made a quick video to show those!!

A Delicious Christmas at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

Well didn't October just fly by!? We might now be looking forward to Thanksgiving (In USA) and Christmas and all the feasting those bring, so our challenge at The Paper Shelter this week is Something Yummy. 

I have used 'Christmas Candy Fairy' to make a fun gift tag.

I used traditional colours for the fairy and treats, and put her on a background of glittery felt.

Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!

You can also share your creations over in our Facebook Group.
