Deck the Halls

All the eggs have been eaten.  Easter holidays are over.  So it's time to think of Christmas?  No not really but I've joined in with Merry Mondays today and now have another Christmas card for my box!

The challenge is to use Christmas words and decorate the letters.  I've used a sentiment from Christmas Messages as my focal point and decorated the letters with my Real Red and Basic Black Stampin' Write Markers.  I used Chalk Talk Framelits to make the label and decorated with the Little Leaves Sizzlits and Basic Pearls.  The background was made using the Music Note Wheel.  

Funnily enough we were listening to Christmas music today!  I seem to still have a Christmas CD in my car and my son thought it would be funny to put it on with the window down as we drove through our village.  My daughter, her friend and my son's girlfriend were all in the car cringing as Slade's Merry Xmas Everbody blasted out.  

What a giggle!! 

Merry Christmas, I mean Easter to everyone!! xx

Take care with Joyful Tidings

Switch of direction today.  I'm back with Christmas.  The reason is, I love the colour challenge over at  Merry Monday.

I've used a Basic Grey card base with a mat of Cherry Cobbler and a panel of Whisper White.  

I stamped the tree from Take Care minus the leaves by colouring the stamp directly with a Basic Grey Stampin' Write Marker.  The sentiment is from Christmas Greetings and stamped in Smoky Slate.  I've adorned my trees with some ornaments, punched using the Merry Minis Punch pack and then added some Basic Rhinestones for sparkle. 

I'm rather pleased with the result.  It was nice to dip back into Christmas for awhile especially  as we are zooming towards Easter.  My goodness it's April next week!  Only a few more days left of Sale-A-Bration and the Best of series.  So do get in touch of you don't want to miss out. 

Also only a couple of days before my stamper's 6 starts up again.  I've a couple of places left if you are interested in building your stash over a few months and taking advantage of the hostess benefits.  Have a look at my Virtual Hostess Page for details.  You don't need to stay close by because you can take part on line. 

That's it from me but before I go here's a photo of my little cutie.  

Take Care.  xx

Stampin' Up!'s Santa's List in January

Stampin' Up!'s Santa's List is just adorable.  He has such a kind face.  

I stamped Santa in Crumb Cake and coloured him in with a Real Red Stampin' Write Marker.    I then cut him out using the Festive Flurry Framelits and attached him to another snowflake in Real Red.  I sponged the edges with Chocolate Chip.  The snowflake was attached to a panel of Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip. The Very Vanilla was sponged at the edges with Chocolate Chip.  I added Crochet Trim Ribbon to the top and bottom. 

The sentiment is in Chocolate Chip and is from Christmas Messages.  

I've joined in with the challenge over at Merry Mondays and used their recipe of Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla and Ribbon.

It's quite bitter outside today we may get some snow yet!  Stay cosy.  x
