Christmas Colours

That time again... therea a new challenge starting over at Where The HeART Is Challenge Blog.
Our sponsor for this challebge was That Craft Place and our theme Christmas Colours. An easy one for this time of year thankfully lol.
The image I chose was 'Big Present' which I coloured using my Spectrum Noirs and the papers are from a set I got free in a mag. For a quick make, I quite like how this ine turned out.
Why not take a pop over to our Challenge blog and join in. Where The HeART Is, is a blog for al types of craft, not just card making (I'm in the card team which is why my projects are all card related). We also have a mixed media team who I have to admit are a very talented bunch. This means thw challenge is open to everyone, so why not come over and join us or even pop by to say hello while having a look at our projects.
Hope to see you there :).

Christmas Card Season.

What a bust week or so I've had. I had actually been debating giving up my card making or at least downsizing my supplies a good bit and then I get LOADS of orders. Tis the season and all that I suppose :).
Hubby was down visiting his mum a day almost a fortnight ago and vame back with a little list of cards she was looking done. They needed done quickly as some were being posted to Australia and last posting date was the start of Dec sometime. For handiness sake, i decided to use my new Tattered Lace dies that I had bought not long before and hadnt used yet. Trying to do 6 cards that were all different proved more difficult than I thought and as these were all being posted, I was asked to make sure they werent bulky... another difficulty as I like my layers and dimension lol.
These were 5he cards I came up with... I actually really liked them (they look better on person) alrhough I think I slughtly misjudged my text size lol. Even so, I was relatively happy with them and my mum in law liked them too so better again lol.
