And finally,

Hello again blogland,

If you are here looking for my Sweet Stampin' challenge card it's the post before this one.

This post is all about Crafty Calendar Challenge, this month the theme is Anything Goes and is sponsored by Lawn Fawn, with a great prize on offer. As we are a monthly challenge and this month is December (the last month of the year, if you hadn't noticed!) the next time you see us we will be in 2023! I know I'm going to sound cliched, but my goodness this year has really flown!

Here's my card:


Supplies used:

Digital stamp:
coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp:
Neat & Tangled - Hello There

Dies:
unbranded stitched rectangle set
Pretty Pink Posh - Scallops
Lawn Fawn - lawn cuts 'hello border'

Anything else:
Lawn Fawn stencil - Brick
Distress Ink
blending brush
wood effect card

And done! As with the previous post this will be the last time you will see me for Crafty Calendar Challenge, so I hope you all have a great Christmas period (if you celebrate) and see you either in the Challenge or here on my blog in 2023!

Sweetie Christmas

Good morning blogland,

This is the first of two posts from me today.

As it's a Saturday it's time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' Challenge - this time, as we are coming up on Christmas, we are having a month-long challenge. You probably won't be surprised to learn the theme is Anything Christmas, any type of craft is welcome but please remember there has to be some stamping (digital or rubber) on it somewhere.

This is my card:

Supplies used:

Digital stamp:
Pollycraft - Happy Mail (no link as Pollycraft no longer exists)
coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp:
Altenew - Festive Sillouettes

Dies:
un-branded DL stitched dies set

Anything else:
Creative Expressions - Clouds stencil
Distress Inks
blending brush
red card

I'll be back myself (today, inf fact!) before the end of the Year but that's it from The Sweeties this year. I hope you all have a non-stressful run up to the Christmas season and as a pleasant a Christmas (if you celebrate) as is possible.  See you in 2023!

Not a Reindeer!

 Good morning blogland,

Running slightly late here, as TTT is not feeling well and I've been doing the whole yes/no school thing - which has ended with a 'no' and mucked up my morning. She's back in bed and asleep now so I can get on, but with less 'waffle' than normal.

And, getting on is telling you it's time for a new challenge over at Colour Crazy Challenge.  This week's wonderful sponsor is HettyClare.  The DT were very kindly given digis to pick from, this is my make with the super cute Pony Xmas Hat.  

My line of thinking went a bit like this - could someone be trying to dress the pony like Rudolph the Reindeer, and would that annoy a cute, but possibly grumpy, pony? Hmmmm, maybe! Let's go with that, it could be funny!

Card that arrived from that idea:


Supplies used:
Digital Stamp:
HettyClare - Pony Xmas Hat
coloured with my Copics

Sentiment I created in Publisher

Dies:
un-branded stitched DL set

Anything else:
Picket Fence Studios stencil - Artic Winter
Distress Ink
stencil brush
bit of twine
red card

So, I do hope all you colourists out there get a chance to pop over and join in with the Challenge, there are some fab inspiration cards from my Teamies and a great prize on offer.

See you soon,
Sarah
