MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hi Everyone
  
I hope that you have enjoyed your weekend.  They seem to be whizzing by very quickly don't they.

Today I made a card for taking over to Fezziwig's Festive Frolics where the theme is "Let's see Santa".

Lots of Santa's in my crafty stash but I particularly love this one:




This used:

Image, Sentiment and Backing Papers all from Polkadoodles "Winnie Winterland" Big Kahuna Digital Craft Download Bundle.
Memory Box "99031" Snowflake Heart (the snowflakes are the lovely waste)
Gems
Crystal Glamour Dust
My Trusty Sewing Machine

I love playing with this Polkadoodles download very much - the gorgeous images come plain or pre-coloured. There are some gorgeous Christmas papers alongside but you can hardly see mine here unfortunately.

Today I used pre-coloured images to create a little scene using my Serif Craft Artist 2 programme.  

The only thing I changed was adding a mouth to Santa's "significant other".  I do struggle with images where the characters don't have mouths .. .. .. and yet I love my collection of Willow Tree ornaments and they don't have any eyes, nose or a mouth!!!  So where is the logic there?

Anyway, that is me for today.

Let's wait and see what this next week is going hold for us shall we?

Take care and stay safe.  

Thankfully there is snooker on TV this week so my Mum won't be asking "Can I go out yet?".  She will be glued to her TV.  Bless!

  2. Love this image Jules. Such a cute card. I'm with you about mouths on images!! I also have a collection of Willow fairies!!
    I had a CT scan today for my smelly nose problem. No idea how long I have to wait for the result.

    Hope you have a good week.
    Stay safe,
    Big hugs, Carol S.xxxx

  4. Hello Jules! I'm behind you at Fezziwig's so I came to leave a comment. That's a lovely card, done up just right. I had to look and see if Ive ever used any of my Polkadoodles and I haven't. I hope I can use them as well as you do! XOX

  5. Super card. I took a guess at the source of the image before looking to the end of your blog and I was right. Polkadoodles come up with some really great images and I still turn to some of their CD's which I've had for a long time. Might have to investigate this download though 😉

  10. Haaa just had a wee flashback to when Tom was tiny, Mum in Law has lots of Willow Tree ornaments and wee Tom was scared cause they had no faces. So Gran happily drew pencil faces on them for him. Bless! I love your card and she looks like she has always had her smile, thanks for joining in with me again over on Fezziwigs, Have a great week, Hazel xx
