I have a few challenges I can enter with my sweet festive card: both Sweet Stampin' and Crafty Catz blog challenges are for Christmas in July, while the Cutie Pies challenge is pretty in pink, and the Papertake Weekly theme is dieing for a punch.
And the theme for the monthly challenge over on LOTV's Ideas to Inspire blog is for a touch of pink - perfect!
I've created a tent fold card with a scallop blank then added the mats and pretty papers before decorating with lots of Marianne Design die cut pieces. These are the dies I've used:
star border - LR0134
holly sprays - LR0244
mini poinsettias - LR0142
I have to do a bit of tidying up now as the grandkids are coming on Sunday, plus there was a swarm of flying ants in the conservatory yesterday evening that caused a minor panic! I went around with the fly killer, Jason siliconed up the hole they were flying out from, and after leaving them to die I had to go and dyson up the bodies. The spray has left a residue on the windows so guess what I'm doing later today .. ..
Whatever you are doing, enjoy your weekend and hopefully the sun will keep shining wherever you are.
ooooh wow love youre christmas card :)
