New, new, a DT card for HM&FMC!

Hello House Mouse lovers and Happy New Year to you!

We are ready with our first 2017 challenge.

With the start of a new year the challenge theme is almost given by itself,

 we'll start with the theme:

New, new, new!

 

 It can be new goodies, new technique, new baby, new home,

 just name what's NEW in your creation.

We are sponsored by our lovely teams America and Sue.

 America will be giving this gorgeous

 Jelly Bean Cling Stamp

  

and Sue Drees will be giving away this super cute

'Say Cheese' Cling Stamp to a lucky winner too!

We are happy to be back after break, and hope you will join us for this

fun challenge.  The design team has some great examples for your inspiration.

  Head on over to the challenge blog and check them out.

My niece gave birth to a little baby boy on the first day in the new year.

Such a lovely start on 2017!

So my 'New' card is made for this little one wishing him welcome.

I do not know the name of this stamp, I have borrowed

 it from a friend and forgotten to write down what it's called.

But It's cute for sure.

Papers are from Echo Park, pearls, charm and ribbon are from my stash.

The text inside is a clear stamp from LOTV.

A quick made backside with my personal stamp.

Good morning & Happy New Year everyone!

welcome back to the ABC Christmas Challenge!

We have, of course, gone right back to the start of the alphabet...
and are easing you in gently with two super easy themes:

'A is for Anything Goes'

AND


'B is for Something Beginning with B'

(Just don't forget the Christmas theme!)

 As you will (hopefully!) have seen last month, we're changing things up a little this year, and will have one challenge post each month...so obviously there will be more than one letter for each challenge, but also more time for you to play along! 

You can play along with one or all of the themes for the month...combine them if you like...you can still also enter as many projects as you like each month  and combine our challenge with as many other challenges as you wish to  - we just want to help you prepare for next Christmas and have some fun (and perhaps win one of the fabulous prizes from our generous sponsors!) the way! 

 Our sponsors for this challenge are:

 Sami Stamps

Prize $12 gift card to the shop at www.samistamp.blogspot.com

AND

Wild Orchid Crafts

One lucky winner will receive a £10 gift voucher


There's also a little prize from Helen too...a couple of Docrafts Christmas stamps:

 

For my first Christmas card in 2017, I've used an image from House Mouse

combined with papers from Maja Design; with other words my cardmaking

continues in the same track as in 2016 LOL!

For the shape of the card I have used a die from Go Kreate

and distressed the edges of the paper.

The word 'Juleklem' means 'Christmas hugs', it's cut out in some glittery foam

 with a die from Kort og Godt. The flowers are a mix of brands from different shops.

The card is similar with this card from December 2016.

Sidste julekort i 2016!

Det er vist på høje tide at blogge de sidste julekort, og nu regner jeg

med at de er nået frem til sine respektive modtagere.

Jeg kom i manko for kort og lavede denne serie på

2x 5 ens kort- helt mod hvad jeg plejer at gøre.

Men vaner er til for at brydes!

 Først ud er stjernekortene, stjernedie fra Spellbinder og tekst die

fra Simon Says. Den sidstnævnte består at både dies og tekster.

Meget anvendelig, men husk at lime tape på før du kører dien

 gennem din udstanser. Ellers er det svært at lime den på en pæn måde.

Pynten består af små stjerner og sølvtråd.

Næste serie er kuglekortene, lavet med denne die fra Kort og Godt.

Pynten på disse kort er perler og sølvtråd.

Jeg brugte samme die til at lave nogle af til og fra kortene,

hovsa...dem har jeg da glemt at tage fotos af!

Alle 10 kort.

Til sidst vil jeg vise hvad der er sket med min kære Cuttlebug,

den er godt brugt og tålte ikke helt en 'skævert'.

Heldigvis står der en Ebosser klar til at overtage...

Y and Z at ABC Christmas Challenge!

We have another fun ABC Christmas Challenge starting today...Samantha 

is the host and the themes are:

Yes...that's right, we have two themes for this challenge!

'Y is for Yikes!' & 'Z is for Zoom!'

 

E.I

Yikes only a few weeks left so I am gonna make 10 cards the same!
or

Zoooooom! Zooming around on skis or Skates or in a car/truck

 to buy your Christmas tree...

After seven trips through the alphabet, we're changing things up in 2017, and are breaking you all in gently with a practice run for the last challenge this year. We will still be using the alphabet as the inspiration for our challenges, but will be switching to a monthly challenge, so each month will have more than one theme. You can use either or all of the themes..make a project for both or combine them in one...the choice is yours! Remember that we do not have a limit on the number of times you can enter each of our challenges, or the number of challenges you can combine with ours! Our challenges will start on the first Wednesday of each month, and will end on the last day of the month, so you'll have plenty of time to play along! We will also continue to have lots of fabulous prizes on offer...with multiple winners each month!

Since my pile of Christmas cards are looking bad, I went for the: 

Yikes only a few weeks left so I am gonna make 10 cards the same!

I copied a card I found  in the latest edition of the  magazin

 'Ett Trykk', it's made by Else Irene.

The die with the word 'Juleklem' (Christmas hugs) is from Kort og Godt 

and I've cut it out in some foam, not easy to tell from the pic!

All cards are made with the same desing, some with hearts and bling........

and some with snowflakes and pearls!

Easy to make and cheap to send by mail!

For more inspiration from my lovely DT buddies, please pop over to the

 ABC Christmas Challenge.

Our sponsor for this challenge is East Wind:

Prize - 3 Digital Images!

No challenges for my cards since the idea isn't mine!

But what a pleasure to change my Christmas card counter  36  46 😊

Endelig luft under vingerne.

Det går ikke så godt med mine julekort, jeg er håbløst bagefter!

Målet var et kort ca hver uge og nu er vi i uge 48.

Og jeg er klar med 35 kort. Øv!

Men her er et til. Og denne gang er det ikke med et House Mouse motiv.

Nej det er med 'Flying Angle Tilda' fra Magnolia. Der er længe siden jeg sidst

gav henne luft under vingerne! Baggrunden er embosset med

en masse ønsker om en glædelig jul.

Tilda her fået glitter på vingerne og Frantage rundt sig- og lidt på sig. 

Det var et lille uheld!

 Til dette kort fik jeg også brugt lidt rester af noget mønsterpapir fra Maja Design.
