The sketch

My second Challenge card

Janet's cards

These first three cards have been made by Our Janet, three fantastic birthday cards this week, you have well and truly made up for lost time, you are so talented when it comes to making cards for men Janet, those first two cards are better than any I have seen in the shops.   The third card is a pretty card, The lovely flower giving a pop of colour to the white on white background, I love that Heartfelt Creations Bella Flourish die, it gives such texture to the card.  Thank you so much for taking part Janet xxxx

Lilian's Challenge card

Lilian, your beautiful card looks like an illustration from one of those  amazing Botanical Encyclopedias, you know those ones with the gold edged pages!  

I love the delicate green, decoupaged Christmas Rose, with the script as background, a perfect card that I could easily see for sale in a National Trust Shop! Thank you for taking part Lilian xxxx

 Margaret's cards

Margaret, 3 fantastic festive cards from you this week, all beautifully stamped and coloured, your matting and layering first onto white and then onto the red scalloped die cut circle, really sets the stamped image off perfectly.  I love the backing papers too, they work so well with your stamped images. Thank you so much for taking part, xxxx

Maria's Challenge Cards

Maria, two fab Christmas cards from you this week, the first card is just so pretty with the green strips of card in the background and the wonderful white poinsettia

placed upon those white fronds of foliage, that foliage looks just like snowflakes too, very clever Maria, the second card, you have created a lovely red glitter frame,

inside which you have stamped 3 trees, with ' iced snow' gathered at their bases, which looks just like a snow drift. I love the 3 gems that actually look like glowing

stars at the tops of your trees, the poinsettia in the top corner finishes your card nicely, thank you Maria for taking part xxxx

Michele's Challenge Card

Michele, I am not sure if its just my eyes,  but the Christmas tree looks as though it's made of 'snowflakes',  which is such a clever idea, so unusual too, the flat back gems you have added look just like baubles on the tree, I love the pink card too, not something you usually use. I love it, love that die too, thank you so much for taking part, you need to get that card box filled for work asap! xxxx

Sonia's challenge card

Sonia, Such a pretty, sparkling silver snowflake you have used as the centrepiece of this weeks challenge card, the sentiment embossed in gold glitter works so well in contrast to the silver snowflake, sometimes its the simple designs that are most effective, thank you so much for taking part, I know time is precious when you get home from work xxxx

Val's Challenge Card

Val used this weeks sketch as the layout for her friends birthday card, a fantastic man card Val, I'm not surprised your shop stock is always needing to be replenished! 

I love seeing your cards each week, thanks for taking part Val xxxx
