Midway reminder for CCAYR plus a one layer card

Hi there - hope you are feeling good? I'm much happier today - thanks for all your kind words - you blogland people are so wonderful! Thankyou xx

Today I've got two cards to share with you - the first is one made as a midway reminder that the challenge over at christmascardsallyearroundCCAYR this month is 'red and white, hearts and flowers'. Here's what I did:



I have to confess for having a soft spot for this card - it really is up my street - I love the gorjuss girls - I love red and white - I love polar bears - and hearts and flowers - so together it all works for me - I hope you like it too! The sentiment stamp is LOTV - the charm came from the ribbon girl and the flowers are WOC. The image was coloured with promarkers and I used festive berries DI around the die edges.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

charismacardz Anything goes
jandccreationschallenge: Friendship
pennyschallenges Fave colour combo
ilovepromarkers: One for the girls
abcchristmaschallenge: Case the card - I've cased the colour scheme of Jackie using 'Mimi Christmas 1'
papertakeweekly: Hearts and flowers
christmascardchallenges: Scallops ( on the egde of the diecut)
Sugar Bowlsugarbowlblog: anything goes- challenge 100
winter wonderland:christmasblogchallenge a christmas card

My second card is a one layer card I've made for my nephew Nathan who will be 19 this time - he's a musician so I thought I would try out my Little Claire changing tree with some of the music stamps and some of the male stamps.



I'd like to enter this card in the simplylessismooreLess is More One layer  music challenge.

I think thats all for today - I may be absent tomorrow - I'm going to be attempting to make Penny's birthday Cake - if it looks okay I may take some pictures and blog it! And on Sunday it will be her birthday party - so I may be absent again - I just don't know how much time I'm going to get! Bear with me though - I will try and get around to visit you all ASAP!

Big Hugs and thanks for visiting

Rachel xx

    Hi, Rachel - how cuddly your polar bear looks. Your monochromatic card looks amazing - I love how your gradually shaded the red background, too - an amazing effect!
