Oops, forgot to post this...

This month's challenge at Christmas Cards All Year 'Round is based on this inspiration:

Mr Whiskers recently came out with a new kit, Thrilling Comics, available at Deviant Scrap. Took me a while but I eventually came up with this: 

The Kit.

My art journal: 

I also added the Japanese lady from Beth Rimmer's East is West.

My next creation is a Christmas card! Yup, I still do Xmas cards throughout the year. I'm currently on the DT of Christmas Cards All Year 'Round and I do enjoy making Xmas cards!

This month's challenge is to have hearts on the Xmas card. Here's my card: 

Created using supplies from Anna Aspnes & Maya de Groot from Oscraps.

TTFN!

~ Christmas Cards All Year 'Round ~

Here are some Christmas cards that I've done for the Christmas Card All Year 'Round site. This month's challenge is to have at least one of what are considered Halloween colours (orange, green, purple, black). Also included isa punch or die cut somewhere on the card eg. regular punches, Spellbinders dies, border punches, something that was purchased pre-done, etc! 

Here are my cards: 

Made use of Basic Grey papers and Unity stamps. 

TTFN!

~ Chrismas Cards All Year 'Round: September's Challenge ~

Oops, forgot to post this!


The challenge for September is going to be a card that is any shape other than the standard 4 1/4 X 5 1/2. It can be suare, rectangular, curcular, big, small, whatever, but not the standard size. The card must also have gold, silver, crystal or pearl on it too!

Here's my card: 

Card is made using a transparency sheet. The centre of the poinsettia is dotted with gold sticklers. Patterned papers from Basic Grey Wassail collection. Poinsettia is from Unity.

The inside of the card. Stamped images from Unity's Bright & Merry Winter Wishes. 

Have to say, it was fun making this card but quite challenging too! TTFN!

~ Christmas Cards All Year Round: May's challenge ~

This month's challenge is to use flowers, along with ribbon and button! Well, here are my 5 cards, based on a Christmas theme: 

,

Picked a pack of Tutti Frutti papers from the local stationery. Used them for kids' class and had some left over so channelled them for cards. Have to say, luv the colours on them. You will probably see the same poinsettia on all the cards as I picked up a bunch last Christmas and have lots around. They have come in handy for this challenge. Stamp set is Unity's Cheer & Joy

Patterned papers are Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses (I'm fast depleting my supply of papers as I've used loads). Stamp set is Unity's Merry Merry Merry. Card is based on a sketch at Caardvark.

Cute deer but I found it hard to use the paper and decided to highlight the deer for this card. Sentiment from Unity's Bright & Merry Winter Wishes. Card is based on a sketch from Unity's Hip Hop #9

Stamp set is from Unity's Merry Merry Merry. Card is based on a sketch from Caardvark.

Stamped set is Unity's Glorious Angel. Card is based on a sketch from Unity's Hip Hop #9.

Some of these cards were made for other challenges (which can be seen in my blog posts). Had fun doing them and I'm so glad that I'm keeping to my quota each month! Roll on June...TTFN!

~ Christmas Cards All Year Round: April's challenge ~

This month's challenge is to create Xmas cards with at least one soft pastel colours: pale yellow, baby blue, pale green and soft pink. Here are my cards: 

These cards were also made for other challenges and some were based on sketches from card blogs. Glad to have them done... still got 3 more to go as I've got a quota of 8 Xmas cards per month! TTFN!

~ 365 Cards: Day 16 ~

Been away and now catching up on my blogging. Currently on my 2nd week of Easter break and the weather has been brilliant so far! Managed to get this card done before I went away. This week is a special week... it's the Spring Challenge Blog Hop featuring several challenge blogs:

For this week, 365 Cards has issued a special challenge .... white space! Can't say that it's my favourite challenge as I don't fair well with white spaces! Anyway, here's today's sketch: 

And here's my card: 

Patterned paper by Papermania Rose Garden collection. Stamped image by Unity's March store kit, coloured in Promarkers.

Card's looks a bit naked but then again, I'm so unused to white space! TTFN!

~ Christmas Cards All Year Round: March challenge ~

It has taken me a while to do my Xmas cards this month but I've got them done, all 8 of them thereby fulfilling my quota! Quite chuffed at keeping up!

For the challenge for March on this blog was to use green and snowman! Here are my 5 cards. Some of them have been done for challenges on other card blogs.

Had fun doing them but I shan't leave it too late in future! TTFN!

~ Christmas Cards All Year Round: February challenge ~

This month's challenge is to create a Christmas card with at least three hearts on it. All the cards created were in conjunction with other challenges as well. Here are my 5 cards:

3 hearts on the snowman

Using 3 hearts to create a Xmas tree.

3 hearts behind the sentiment.

Behind the sentiment is a heart background. Here's a closer look: 

I've got at least 3 hearts there!

Nearly the end of the month and I've done 7 cards so far, another one more to go. Doing well with my quota! TTFN!
