Used Spellbinders 2010 bauble die and a little bit of crochet.  There are glass beads in the center but they are hard to make out.

Christmas Countdown Card No 3 Warning! Crochet and bad Photography!

You can see the reflection of my hands in the silver card!  The tree trunk is made with 3 little bugle beads but these don't show up very well in the photo....

Let it Snow challenge and DT call

This month's challenge chosen by Tammy, (our brand new bride, congratulations!) at By the Cute and Girly is "Let it Snow".  Now, I dont know about you, but it wouldn't bother me if I never saw snow again after the last 2 winters here in Dublin....but the digis supplied to the DT by this month's sponsor The Paper Shelter are so gorgeous that I got over myself snow-ways and got crafting.

This card uses The Paper Shelters Snowman, PayperBox card, gems from Personal Impressions, charm from Whiff of Joy and the lattice fabric comes from the local craft shop.

Snowman again with more PayperBox card, ribbon from Forever Friends Timeless collection, the snowflakes and crochet flower are my own Snippets and the sentiment is part of a Stampendous christmas stamp.  Flat-backed pearl trimming from local shop but most haberdashery/trimmings places have something like it.

Once again there are some great prizes to be won in this months challenge...and the chance to apply to join the Design team!

Countdown to Christmas - Card No 1

From 1st to 25th December I am going to join in with Emily and Aideen's "Countdown to Christmas" and post a Christmas card every day.  The first card is fairly simple: it has a sinamay background, one of my lace snippets and a chipboard sentiment from a set I bought in Bookstation about 2 years ago.
Why not hop over to the Emily and Aideen's blogs, view their creations and get the Christmas spirit out there?
Back later with By the Cute and Girlys December challenge.
