Sundays with Santa on a Saturday - Weeks 8, 9 & 10

I have spent the day playing catch up for the Facebook challenge, Sundays with Santa. Here are my cards for week 8 - snowflakes, week 9 - polka dot and week 10 - never seen ink. I have had a lovely day cocooned in my craft room, where it is cosy and warm, only ventured out for a brisk walk to blow away the cobwebs, but was pretty soon back in my craft room, oh boy was it bitter out there today! Off now to continue with the big tidy and maybe even make a start on tomorrow's card.
Hope you're keeping warm and enjoying a crafty weekend.

Sundays with Santa - Week 7

Okay so I'm a little behind with these challenges but this one has me stuck for a while. Determined that I was not going to buy any new stash, mind you not sure I would be able to get any Christmas supplies at the moment! Anyhow while continuing the craft room clear out I came across some images in a magazine - problem solved...... Pearlescent card from The Range, holly background paper from a First Edition paper stack I bought ages ago but not used until today and coloured the image with copics. It's not too clear in the photo but the mini tags spell Happy Christmas - good old peel offs.

Sundays with Santa - Week 6

I'm on a roll here, third card of the day, only another 2 more to catch up! The theme for week 6 is birds, so thought I would use this cute penguin stamp, from Inkadinkadoo, coloured with copics. Paper is from the Wonderful Winter paper stack from My Minds Eye, another oldie.
That's it from me for today, time for a quick tidy up and then off to bed.

Sundays with Santa - Week 5

Playing catch up here with the above challenge, 3 weeks behind now! The theme for week 5 is non-traditional colours. I'm not normally a pink girl but I loved the papers in this pad, 'Rose Tinted Christmas' from DCWV. It's an old paperstack as I am on a STASH DIET - my crafts are taking over the house so I need to use what I have before I buy any more..... Lets see how long that lasts!!
The snowflake was cut on my Cricut with the Accent Essentials cartridge. SU punches for the tag and good old peel offs for the greeting.

Am off for a walk now, won't be long as its freezing down here on the South coast, but I need to get some fresh air before I get cabin fever and it also means I can have a toasted hot cross bun with lashings of butter when i get back and feel less guilty. I will also have to thaw out in my craft room so hope to be back with another card later.

Sundays with Santa - Week 4

Okay so we're 8 weeks into this years challenge and I'm already 4 weeks behind - eek better get my skates on! I have been busy with my sewing the last few weekends and not got round to making my cards but have made a couple of star cards over the last couple of days and thought while I was in my craft room I should make some attempt to catch up!
The theme for week 4 is Santa, the image has been on my desk for a couple of weeks coloured up waiting to be put on a card. It is an image from Creative Expressions which I have had for as long as I can remember but he is an old faithful who makes an appearance every Christmas. The good old CB snowflake embossing folder came out to play too.

Sundays with Santa - Week 3

Here's my card for the Sundays with Santa Facebook group. This week's theme is Trees. While sorting my craft room out, I found my iris folding patterns so thought it would use the tree one - I enjoyed it so much I made a second one!

Sundays with Santa - Week 2

Here's my card for week 2 of the 'Sundays with Santa' group on Facebook. The theme this week is 'Traditional Colours'. This card was started in late 2011 for a challenge, I missed the deadline and it got tidied away early last year. In my mission to tidy my craft room this year I am going through my boxes of half finished projects and this is one of them!

Sundays with Santa

Pops has set up a just for fun group on Facebook - Sundays with Santa, so we can get one step ahead of the game with our Christmas cards.
Every Sunday there is a new theme so we should have at least 52 cards by the big day this year.... thats the plan anyway!!




I missed the first 2 weeks, so this is my first card for the group. The snowman stamp is one I've had for ages but he is still a favourite of mine, this one has had 3 different hats and scarves on, thank goodness for copics, at least you can colour on top of a colour if you don't like the original one IYKWIM... I used gunmetal gems for the eyes and buttons then covered the snowman with glamour dust.
The papers are from a My Minds Eye, Wonderful Winter stack, really lovely papers.
DCWV cardstock run through a CB snowflake embossing folder and sanded, bit of raffia ribbon - job done!!

Hope you've had a good weekend, the next one will be here before we know it!!
That's it from me today, off to do a bit of sewing now.
