Wild Rose Studio Santa and Rudolph

It's time for a new theme over on the Papertake Weekly Challenge!

ANYTHING GOES!

with the optional extra of torn edges

The Wild Rose Studio has a new release of super cute Christmas Goodness and I used a few products on this one ;-)

I used some embossing paste and a snowfall stencil to add texture to a sheet of printed paper from a Painted Poinsettias Pack and then used a Cottage Die for the snowy slope. I coloured and cut our a Santa and Rudolph and popped them up on the front. I added a glittered Holly Vine Corner and finished with a sentiment stamped onto an Elegant Frames Die Cut.

We are sponsored by the lovely peeps over at Lili of the Valley so a fabulous voucher on offer this week ;-)

Challenges :
Animal Friends Zoo
Christmas Cards All Year Round Snowflakes

Simon Says Stamp Kids Summer Vacation Challenge

Hi all and welcome to another of our annual Simon Says Stamp Summer Vacation Kid's Challenge where we host a special challenge dedicated to our young designers.

ANYTHING GOES

It is time for all you crafters to let your children loose in your crafty corners for a few hours. Just close your eyes and set them free to explore their creativity! You are allowed to hide your Copic Markers and extra special papers and you are allowed to help just a little bit if necessary, but we really want the children to 'DO IT' themselves as much as possible :-)

This challenge is open to all children aged between 2 and 16 inclusive.

We have not 1, not 2 but 3 surprise parcels of crafty goodies, hand picked by Simon!

For this challenge we have a very special Junior Design Team who I am sure you will agree have done an excellent job.

Please give them a warm welcome and leave comments for them on their blog posts. Thank You xx

This was made by my niece Evie, age 6, using Newtons Nook Summer Vacation Clear Stamp Set

and she made this one too using Newton's Nook Day Dream Stamp Set

and this is the super talented and gorgeous artist, Evie :-)
Evie and her Mum came to spend a week here with us in Gozo. During that week she made a pile of cards and postcards, keeping me company in my craft room and even found the time to learn how to swim! It was a very busy and productive week ;-)
