S is for shepherds

   I matted paper from Kaiser Craft's Christmas Collection paper pad onto green card and wrapped green satin ribbon round the left hand side of this before matting onto cream card. The Di's Digi stamp called Shepherds Singing was coloured using Promarkers, matted onto green card and attached to the card. I then added a bow and a gold vertical peel off to the ribbon wrap.

L is for lantern

    This digi from Di's Digis is called winter carols. After colouring it using Promarkers I matted and layered it onto black card, falling snow mirri (which doesn't show well in the photo) framed with black card and blue patterned card. The sentiment was cut from black card using a Tattered Lace die. To finish the card I added some snowflakes which were offcuts from a previous project.

Beer bear

   This month the Send A Smile 4 Kids challenge has the theme of cards for dads from kids.
   I have used a Di's Digi stamp called Beer bear and coloured it using Promarkers. After cutting it out I inked round the edges and matted it onto the same shape cut in brown and off set. The lacy die cut used behind the sentiment was cut using the same die set - interlinked illusion squares from Tattered Lace. The letterd for the sentiment were also cut using Tattered Lace dies.

Rock around the clock

   What little girl does not make believe at some point that they are a famous rock star?  My grand daughters have certainly done so.
   I matted and layered paper from an old Papermania pad and turquoise mirri card onto white card. I then matted another strip of paper from the same collection onto mirri card and attached this across the bottom of the card.
   The digi image called 'Penny the rock chick' is from Di's Digis and was coloured using Promarkers. I cut it out using a Spellbinders label eight die and matted it onto turquoise mirri card which had been cut out using a decorative labels eight die. After attaching it to the card I added gems to the corners and smaller ones to the sides. I also added a little bow to the top of the frame.

Penguins fun

   I cannot help but smile when I look at this image from Di's Digis, The penguins are having so much fun getting the tree ready!
   I have coloured the image using Promarkers and then applied glossy accents to the baubles and Stickles to the snow. This was then matted onto red mirri card and the white base card.
   I die cut the Christmas tree form core'dination cardstock, added a peel off to it and then shaped it slightly before attaching to the card.
