Father Christmas

This week I selected Father Christmas as the theme at CD Sunday There are loads of Father Christmas stamps and digis to choose from ( so this should be an easy challenge) and this stamp is from Stampendous. My Cd element is the green backing paper from Crafter's Companion Nordic Christmas.

As long as your card has an element from a Cd you can join in with us. Pop over to the blog to see the other DT member's cards, I'm sure you will love them.

Fawn

This image was on a free CD which came with an issue of Making Cards earlier this year, it contains all of 2015's papers and images from 2015 and was a great buy, I've found loads of images and papers I will use.

I love the colours and design of this image of a fawn and as the weather is still autumnal chose papers to match the season. Papers from Crafter's Companion Inspiration CD No. 11 the Autumn Edition.

My lovely boys have organised a surprise holiday in Florida for us all and gave me 1 weeks notice to get organised, we leave midweek and have a night in London ( going to see Aladdin the musical) then off to warmer weather, the temperature forecast is for the low 20's it will be lovely to leave the colder days and enjoy the warmth. Apologies in advance I will be unable to visit and leave comments (any form of blogging is forbidden) but will enjoy catching up when I get home. I do hope they let me sneak away to have time for some craft shopping

This is a card made with a specific person in mind, they know they are having a boy hence the colours I chose, the white space on both sides at the base of the image will be used to place die cut letters of the babe's name and date of birth, I've added a name digitally to the example below to show the idea, but will use die cuts on the actual card.
