Christmas in July.

By
I'm starting to stock pile a small amount of Christmas cards now which is very good as I am usually still making mine on Christmas Eve! And I love making Christmas cards because you can be very over the top and add loads of glitter and bling!
The one I made today has a moderate amount of glitter and bling and a gorgeous little digi stamp downloaded from Pink Gem web site. Used some Christmassy backing papers and my Promarkers. This is for the Pink Gem challenge this month here. The challenge was to follow the sketch and the optional extra was to decorate the inside. Here is the sketch

And here is my creation


I made an easel card so I guess the decoration in side would be under the flap - like so -

I then decided to mount the card on a drawer - a good place to put a christmas pressie or some choccies I think

I would like to enter my card/box into the following challenges
Pink Gem - Sketch
Die Cut Dreams Christmas Club - A Very Beary Merry Xmas
Bee Crafty - DOWNLOADS - a 3D project using a digi image

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
