Wags n Whiskers

Good morning all

greetings from sunny Florida - I've had such a busy few weeks and have been very absent I'm so sorry I haven't been visiting at all lately.  We are here in Florida with our good friends Jan and Tony having a very grown up holiday with no kids or other family in tow  - a real treat for us ....after we got delayed on one flight, missed another then an unexpected stay over in Boston for a night  - then finally the airline lost our bags for 2 days we finally got down to holidaying! 

We did a Segway tour up in lovely Mount Dora today - a bit scary when we first started but we all absolutely loved it- give it a try if you ever get the chance - it's an amazing experience.

Anyway onto today's card - my DT card for Wags'n'Whiskers

Our theme for this challenge is

Frame it

We have a charming challenge for you at Winter Wonderland this week

Hi all

I'm here today with my DT card for the new challenge at

Winter Wonderland

it's my turn to host this week

and our theme is

How charming

I've had a bit of a week this week with one thing and another so was looking to make a quick and easy card - these artpads from LOTV always fit the bill for that - so I decided to use this cute snowman.  We also were lucky enough to be given some digi papers to work with by our sponsor this week

who are providing a 20 euro gift voucher to this weeks winner

MR Designs

I used faded jeans distress ink on the paper to tone it to a blue - it looks a bit rubbish in this photo - in fact the whole photo looks rubbish when I look at it closely : ( - but it does look much better IRL. - honest!!!

This is what I did

Image - LOTV artpad

Papers - MR designs

Distress ink - TH faded jeans

Tree dies - Marianne dies

Organza Ribbon - coloured to match with Spectrum noir pen BG04

Charm - a freebee from My craft heart ages ago - such a lovely online store which I miss!

Twine - MFT twine

Glitter - Stickles Diamond

Hope you'll come and join in with our challenge this week - we'd love to see your charming Christmas projects - less than 6 months to that big day now - just in case you needed a reminder he he

I decided to go with a really CAS look

 using the dies stamps and sentiments that came with the new Crafters Inspiration at 

Crafters Companion - available here

I decided to keep it really simple - but that didn't mean quick - ooooh no! 

I can't believe how long it took me to make this card, the stamps and dies were really easy to use - but my head kept on falling out of gear and I just couldn't decide what to do with it!!

So after much messing about 

this is what I did....
