Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge


This week the challenge is 

Lets Get Ready For Christmas

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $50 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store! All you have to do is take out your crafty supplies, make something following this week’s prompt, and add a link in the Inlinkz at the bottom of this post!

This week we are welcoming the lovely Thi Lam aka Lemon Tea Crafts into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!

Please pop by the challenge blog to see what our lovely guest, and the DT have made :-)



I really love these little deer, aren't they adorable!!  This set is partucularly popular with the DT this week too, several of us chose to use this set!!

For the background I splattered the Watercolor Paper with Distress Resist and when that was dry I bended Tumbled Glass and Broken China over the top. I then used a Falling Snow Stencil and White Embossing paste, together with a sprinkling of Prisma Glitter to add more texture and sparkle. 

I then coloured the images with Copic Markers and used the dies to cut them out (so much easier than fussy cutting, I always try to get the coordinating dies whenever possible ;-))


and I finished the inside 



So now it's YOUR turn, Happy Crafting

Wild Rose Studio 'Owl Family'

Hi all and welcome back to a new theme on the ABC Christmas Challenge! If you have been joining us from the beginning of the year you should have a healthy box of cards ready to use! If not then maybe you should think about joining in!

The lovely Lisa is our hostess for this month and the themes are 


'U' is for Upon
and 
'V' is for Very Quick
You can choose any or all of the themes, just don't forget the Christmas bit ;-)

I used a new and adorable Wild Rose Studio Owl Family for my 'Upon' card, they are all sitting upon a branch ;-) 



I coloured wih copic markers and added prisma glitter on their hats and stockings.


for my 'Very Quick' card I used die cuts, the easiest way to make quick cards I think ;-) 




Thanks for looking! You have until Wednesday 31st October to join in so plenty of time ;-)
