Merry Christmas – Jane’s Doodles

Jane's Doodle Banner

Can you believe it is less than a month until Christmas? Well today I have a new card up on the Jane’s Doodles blog that will hopefully get you thinking about Christmas, if you haven’t already.
I did a little stamp modifying…the snowman does not have a hat in the set, but with a little masking (like Jane showed in a tutorial here), I gave him one. This card has lots of sparkle and glitter and was fun to make.

25 Days of Christmas Tags and Tag You’re It Challenge #11

This week the Tag You’re It! Challenge team are playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas tags.

25 Days of Christmas Tags

Maureen Merritt is the the designer this week for the TYI Challenge #11. I love everything about her card, especially the chevron backdrop.

TYIC_11

It is pretty obvious where my inspiration came from. I have never made a double tag before, but I quite like it and it certainly adds more interest to the tag. And I just had to get those chevrons in there somehow 🙂

Tag You’re It Challenge #10

It’s time for another Tag You’re It! Challenge. We had an amazing 44 entries last challenge. You guys rock!

This week we have a very sweet card made by Lynn Put. I just love that gorgeous cluster of pretty flowers!

TYIC_10

I fell in love with the softness of her colour scheme and I used her layout, just changed the placement of the sentiment. I switched up the flowers for a butterfly and some vellum leaves. The pink chevrons are embossing paste (coloured with some dye ink).
