Morning Bloggers.

Time for a new challenge over at sparkles Christmas challenge - this time the theme is "Christmas Songs". As soon as I saw the theme I knew which song I wanted to do - "Christmas Time by the Darkness (I love them and am seeing them live in nov.... cant wait!!!) but it was a real challenge to encorporate it into a card of some sort. Below is what I have come up with.....

The picture is the song cover, and the wording is part of the lyric. i love the blues in this work. added a bit of sparkle to make it a bit more christmassy!

The sponsors this month is Di's digi with 5 digi images up for grabs & Lill of the valley with a £10 voucher.

Wedding card & matching box

Morning bloggers, as you may have seen from a previous post a friend of mine recently got married & I made the favour boxes for her (80 of them!). Well, below is the card & Matching box I made:

looks a bit wonky in this pic but it wasnt - can't explain that.

I am very much into ribbons and bows at the moment. The Image is Teddy Bo, the backing paper is a free sheet I got ages ago from Jak Heath, the flowers are from Crafty Emma's store and everything else is from my stash.

I didn't intend to make a box to go with it, but the card wouldn't fit nicely in any envelope I had so had to knock something up quickly before I went :)

I would Like to enter this card into the following challenge:

Teddy Bo challenge - Say it with flowers.

Thanks for stopping by :)
