ABC Christmas Challenge N and O are for ?

It's the first Wednesday in July, so that means it's time for a new 

ABC Christmas Challenge.

Wilma is our host this month, the letters/teams are:

 

N is for NORTH POLE

and

O is for OFF TO ONE SIDE

 

Wilma is giving this prize for a lucky winner.

 

 

 

 

The image on my N for North Pole is from

Whipper Snapper. It's a favourite of mine, I have used it a lot.

The paper is from Echo Park and the die used on the edge is from Tim Holtz. 

The sentiment is in Norwegian saying ' Post from Santa, 24 December, North Pole'

My O for Off the side card is with 'Snowy'from Penny Black.

The papers are from Maja Design, his hat and scarf are paper pieced.

I hope you will join in our challenge this time.

 

If you need some more inspiration pop over to the

ABC Christmas Challenge blog and have

a look at the lovely creations from the design team.

Y and Z are for...., A DT card for ABC Christmas Challenge.

December is here and it's time for this years last challenge at

ABC Christmas Challenge.

 

The letters are Y and Z and the themes:

 

Y is for 'Your Favourite Things'

and

Z is for  'Zzzzzz' (sleeping image)

 

 

I have a lot of favourite things; papers from Maja Design, Memory Box dies and

all of my House Mouse stamps just to mention a few.

But I think this stamp and die from Penny Black is my absolute favourite.

He is called 'Snowy' and I worked hart to find him

in a store in my country. But I succeed and I've used him a lot. 

 

This card combines some of my faves, 'Snowy', Maja Design,

and Memory box dies.  And CAS cards is also something

I like. Maybe because I often have to send my cards by mail. 

 

Snowy's hat and scarf are paper pieced in paper from Maja Design,

 

Show us your favourite things and participate in our

Y challenge this month. 

Or find an image showcasing a sleeping image for the Z challenge. 

We will love to se what you'll create.

Til en god venninde....

......og jeg håber vi er lige gode venner efter hun har 

fået dette kort til sin fødselsdag om et par uger!

 Stemplet er en af de herlige 'Golden Oldies' fra Art Impression,

noget af tiden til at lave kort. Hvad med jer? Får I også tid til

at være kreative med papir?

Jeg har lige købt dette nuser stempel fra LOTV, så det 

er i brug for første - men bestemt ikke sidste gang!

Det hedder 'Bunny Balloon'.

De små tag stempler er også fra LOTV.

Det skøre fugle-papir (mine Crazy Birds?) er gammelt, det er fra Basic Grey.

the card front is a little bit smaller than the back.

stamped onto a cloud made by a die from Magnolia.

Tillykke med de 21!

For ikke så længe siden fejrede min store 'dreng' sin 21 års fødselsdag.

Kortet for anledningen er det selvfølgelig mig der står for.

 Jeg har lavet et kort næsten som dette her.

Stemplet er et gammelt et fra Magnolia, nok det

Edwin stempel jeg har brugt mest.

Tallene er et stempel fra Woodwear, som så er 

klippet ud i mønsterpapir fra Maja Design.

 Eftertænksomme Edwin fik glitter på sine vinger.

Som en lille gimmick fik Edwin et lille overskæg i dagens anledning.

Det er da på tide når man fylder 21.....
