My shining star

My shining star

its an Elvan Christmas!

Good Morning all - well its surprisingly dry here in Lancaster this morning - I was expecting rain but I've dropped the girls at holiday club at nursery and I've had my five mile run in the dry - so now I've got time to sit here and spend some time in blogland!

I hope you are all well? I'm raring to go - I've got another Christmas card to share with you today - its got that fabulous elf from Mo's digital on it again - he's just too cheeky for words - love him!





I've followed Angie's sketch from the sketch and stash challenge - I love it  and will definitely be using it again! The papers are my stash - they're very old - at the bottom of the Christmas scrapbooking paper pile! I've used promarkers to colour my image and added glitter. I've paper pieced the bauble with new paper from Wild rose studio. I've followed the circles theme onto the inside of the card too.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
abcchristmaschallenge: O is for Open it up
Winter Wonderlandchristmasblogchallenge : Elves
Sketch and Stashsketchandstashchallenge: Angies Sketch
Sweet Stampin' challengesweetstampinchallengeblog: Christmas in July
Cutie Piecutiepiechallenge: Christmas in July

I'm going to have to sort some Rainbows stuff out when I've caught up with everything going on out there and hopefully I'll get into my crafty attic later - I've just got one of the new releases from the scrapbook book stamp society and I want to get a card made soon! 
Big hugs and thanks for dropping by!

  4. We have rain here its just started and very heavy, thank you for visiting, your comments are always lovely and I do appreciate them .
    I have been absent for a few days again I try to blog every now and then, but it often takes so much time .

    I love this Christmas card you have finished it off so beautifully. I must get this image its fab .
    I only finish the fronts of my cards,I wait until I know who they are going to ,then I create an insert to personalise the card. I have boxes of them , my family visit , they choose a fist full of cards, say who they are for and I set too with the inserts before they leave.
    It would be nice just once in a while if they gave me something in return, to help replenish my stock but they don't. I have thought about selling them in a local store or something, and now Tim and I are staying here I might do that.
