It's A Blue, Blue Christmas...........

.......here at Sparkles Christmas Challenges for the next month.  Please pop over to the blog to see the super blue inspired cards from the Design Team.  I love blue and white cards, they can look so elegant and they don't always have to be snow scenes. For my card the background paper is from a CD - Walter and Winnie Does Christmas. The sprig is a Marianne die - our sponsor for the month- 

the stamps are from a set which were free last year with a magazine. I used DI Chipped Sapphire and Brilliance - Mediterranean Sea to stamp with and to blend the edges of the card. A few strings of  peel offs to hang the baubles along with a peel off greeting. This was an easy card to make, so I think I'll be making a few to add to my stock. Have fun everyone, don't get too cold when your working on your Blue, Blue Christms project. 

Thanks again to our sponsor for this challenge.

For a Child

Here we are at the beginning of another month and time for the monthly challenge
Sparkles Christmas Challenges. For October we challenge you to make a project For A Child. Please pop over to the main blog where he team have produced some fabulous inspiration for you. My card is made up of layers of Papermania Christmas papers, the main image is a stamp from Walter and Winnie Designs, coloured with Promarkers. A little glitter added for the snow, can't have a Christmas card without a little glitter can we? I hope this card is bright and cheerful for any child to enjoy.
