Snowmen

By
The theme for this week's challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown is SNOWMEN


 

Here is my card


My card started out as a 5" x 5" card blank onto which I added a layer of navy card stock. I then ripped some pieces of copier paper to make my snowy landscape. The edges of the paper were coloured with a pale blue Promarker and glittered with some sparkly fibres. My snowmen were die cut for me a while ago by my good friend Beverley and have been waiting for just this moment to appear (actually found them a few days ago at the bottom of a drawer - sorry Bev!!)
The snowmen too have been coloured with Promarkers and then stuck down using a glue pen and my sentiment is from a Polka Doodles set.
I do hope you can find the time to pop over and take a look - over there you will find my team mates Mynnette and Ruth
If you fancy joining us and getting a head start on making your Christmas cards we are having a DT Call all this month - so why not have a go?
Bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    Your snowmen are fab and I love the touch of blue along the torn edges. Gives a lovely crisp tint to your snow. x

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!!!

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
