Traditional Christmas colours at Creative Inspirations



Good morning all! I hope you are well and feeling rested! I'm looking forward to a nice day today - not too much rushing around to do and I might evenn get some crafting done - Lol!!!! Yesterday was lovely - I was fortunate enough to see both my girls in their school play twice. I took my mum in the morning and went with Shaun in the evening. Here's a quick pic of Penny that my friend put on facebook - not downloaded my camera pics yet!!! She played the innkeeper along with the little boy Finley - and they were singing 'put the full signs out, pull the vacant signs in - to the tune of the hokey cokey!!! Brilliant!

Over at Creative Inspirations this week's challenge is Traditional Christmas Colours Only! Yes this means that we now ONLY want to see Red, Green & Gold! Oops - my card may have a few extras - but its dominantly red and green!

This week's prize is from STAMP FAIRY and is a $10 GIFT CERTIFICATE!


"Stamp Fairy officially launched on November 5th 2010. Gerda Burghardt, artist and owner, creates cute and whimsical digital images for the young and old, inspired by her life, love and 4 cute cats. You will find adorable teddies bears, young boys and girls, fuzzy little bunnies and whimsical critters. Please visit the store and browse Stamp Fairy’s wonderful images. We hope Stamp Fairy’s images inspire YOUR creativity."


Stamp Fairy are also currently having a SALE so do pop on over and grab yourself a treat!


Here's my card using one of the Mimi images from the Stamp Fairy.

I've coloured her with promarkers and added glitter - then cut with a spellbinders die and distressed the edges whilst still in the die. The background card came from a pack from Crafters Companion and the flowers are partly from WOC and some older flat ones that came from an old ribbon and blooms kit club I used to belong to. The ribbon is a very old piece of stash and I think it came from QVC and is a DCWV sticky ribbon.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

    A gorgeous card Rachel and it looks like it's red, green and gold to me. A wonderful picture of Penny, she looks like she's enjoying herself. It brings back memories of my own two (now 30 and 27).
