Some challenges!

Had a bit of a craft spurt yesterday! Lol! Have made four Christmas cards and have done 4 different challenges-not bad for a few hours yesterday afternoon-hehe! Firstly, I am really sorry about the picture quality-my camera is playing up, really think that we need a new one. They are a bit blurry!

Here is my first card that I made for Friday Sketchers challenge. Loved the sketch but my measuring didn't go to plan so might have to have another go at this sketch! I love the image! The paper is from the new Daisy and Dandelion paper packs and the image is one that Becky stamped for me-so cute all snuggled up under their blanket.

My second card that I made was for Sketch Saturday challenge. Loved this sketch and really like this card. I used a Tilda Santa image, again from Becky, and used the same papers as above. Used some velvet ribbon in Christmassy colours as well as finishing it off with a few flowers. I don't often make A5 cards but thought this sketch suited the size of the card.


The next card I made was for the Cutie Sunday challenge. A great sketch again and I included a little heart charm on this one. Think if I made this one again I'd do it on an A5 card too as I was struggling for room a little bit on this one! Made this with another image from Becky, same papers as the others as well as some of the new Papermania Christmas papers too. Love this image-so cute!


My final card was for a challenge I haven't had a go at before but I really enjoyed it! This card was for the Just Magnolia challenge. The DT cards are gorgeous and full of inspiration. I decided to make Edwin into a little tag and tucked him in his pocket! He is so cute as Santa Claus! I definitely will use this sketch again.


Thanks for looking. Hope you liked them-hoping to do a few other challenges throughout the week including some I haven't taken part in before! As for now I best do some school work-got soooo much planning to do! Eek!
Thanks again!xx
