Christmas Festivities




Today is the first day of our new monthly challenge at Crafts-Too Challenge You.   

Our main theme this month is Christmas Festivities - with Twist 1 being to create a scene either indoors, outdoors or through a window, but most of all have fun creating your design.


I am really enjoying making these little book cards using a set of Nestabilities dies and the moment these lovely Authentique papers arrived in the post I immediately made them into a card.  


I used one of the new Crafts-Too fir tree dies for the lovely trees to which I added a little glitter.



I loved the look of the die cut tree shapes and so I used it as a stencil to create a matching envelope.


So this is my little outdoor scene - with these lovely waltzing skaters. 

I hope you will join us this month in our challenge.  Click the link HERE to see more of the DT inspirational pieces and also the link for your entries.  Most of all have fun!

I will be away for the next couple of weeks so there will be a few scheduled posts.  I am so looking forward to seeing my new baby granddaughter next week and then I am off to Rome for a city break with an old school friend. 

See you all soon!

I absolutely love these layered cards you're creating - so effective, and elegant - just as I'd expect from you!
