7 Months until Christmas Fun Blog Hop

Can you believe only 7 months to go!!!
The lovely Shari from Shari's Pink Palace has invited me to join her monthly Christmas Blog Hop which happens on the 25th of each month...
Shari wants to get a bit more organised for Christmas and so asked a few friends to join her and have a bit of fun with a mini hop!
The plan is to make 2 cards......one card using a colouring medium and the other one using die cutting medium.
Here is the blog hop list.....I hope you can pop by and see what everyone has made..

Next month will be 6 months until the big day and we will be offering some candy along the way :)

So here are my creations...
For my die cutting medium I have used Bauble nesties with some patterned paper added.
This was then matted onto red bazzil cardstock.
Sentiment is from Hero Arts and is stamped with Memento Black Tuxedo Ink around the image.
It is finished off with some twine and stickles.

For my colouring medium I have used a mixture of Prisma and Polychromo Pencils...

The image is from Whimsy Stamps illustrated by Crissy Armstrong and is called Snow Fun.

I loved colouring this image as it really made me smile.

Paper is from my stash

Sentiment - Hero Arts

Buttons and Twine from stash.

Well thats it from me....

Top 5 Christmas Cards

Have you all had a lovely Christmas? Ours was very quiet but we had a lovely day with Mum and Dad.
The super talented Debby is asking us to share our top 5 Christmas cards of the year.  Everyone seems to be having a struggle choosing just 5 and I have to agree it is difficult but here are mine. (can you see a bit of a bear thing going on.......)

The very cute Fizzy Moon

I really enjoyed making this with the paper pieced coat

Another cute bear from the Stamp Fairy

Molly Blooms Shepherd George

Cute Polar bear and Penguins from Whimsy stamps.

So why not join Debby and share your top 5 and you will be in with a chance of winning some LOTV stamps.

Have a lovely day. It looks like we are in for a nice day with the sun shining.

Thanks for popping over today.
