P,Q and R are for...., DT cards for ABC Christmas Challenge.

It's the first Wednesday in August, and time for some new letters at 

ABC Christmas Challenge.

 

Lindsey is our host and the letters are:

 

P for Plump (Robin, Father Christmas, Pudding)

Q for Quality Street ( use the chocolates or the colours)

 

R for Ribbon

 

 This time I've made three cards, but I couldn't find anything

fot the Q for Quality Street, so there are two P cards.

First out a P for Plump (Father Christmas)

The image is an old Whipper Snapper called 'Santa Face'.

 

And the papers are from??, I'm on vaccation in Denmark at the moment, 

and I can't remember the brand and have no chance to check it.

The sentiment is from LOTV.

 

Card number two is also with an oldie, this time

from Forever Friends. 

The papers are from Photoplay.

The hearts are punched out, and the holy border

made with a Martha Stewart punch.

And at last I had to use 'Snowy' from Penny Black.

Papers here form Maja Design, and a snowflake

made in glitter foam with a die from Merianne Design...(I think)

Lindsey is giving this wonderful prize to a lucky winner.

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.

ABC Christmas Challenge.

with dies are from Memory Box and Magnolia.

 

 

 

My X for Xtra Special project are tags meant to be used for 

calendar gifts for my 'boys'. They are age 26, 23 and 21 and

have started their own life now. 

 

But I'm still making them advent calender with four gifts-

one for every Sunday in December

So here you see the first four tags made with the cute die and stamp set 

from Altenew,'Merry Reindeer ' is the name. The papers are from......

yes, Maja Design (your guess was right)

One of the gifts that contains gingerbread dough and cake tins from IKEA, hyssss

don't tell it to the boys.....

 

My boys were here last week and I thought it would be better 

to transport the heavy gift in the suitcase, instead of sending by mail.

Hopefully the Security guard at the airport could see it wasn't TNT....
