Babies First Christmas

Hi bloggers, we have sun here today for a change yeaaaaaah !
Today I have some babies first Christmas things to share with you.
I made these for my  two young grandsons as it will be their very
 first Christmas with us. First is an easel type card, I made one for
 each of them but will only show one here as they are alike.Next is
a bauble I made for them both with their picture inside. I digitally
 inserted a Christmas hat on a picture of them. Also another 
keepsake tree ornament with their names and date on. I made
 those before I decided to make the baubles. Maybe they will
 just be kept hanging from a shelf ? Anyway come and have
 a closer look.......
ps. I am hoping my sons and DIL's don't see these just yet lol !
Book-a-easel is a digi from the Clipartfairy,so is the bear, I added  my own wording.

 
Closeup
Matching box made with a Clipart fairy digi paper/tag and  a Curved Rectangles Nesty
Image/hat and wording done in GCF, bauble from ebay, plastic and not flat like it looks here.
About 7 cm , just right size I found, not glass as I worried about breaking.
(Back) I added white feathers and a die cut snowflake in silver, may add some glitter tinsel later.
Used a heart nesty for the shape, ( two stuck together, then ribbon in between) ,wording/image done in GCF

Christmas Star cottage

Hi fellow bloggers, it's chilly here today 5C brrrr! here are two
 more DT cards made for  'Beccy's Place' again.They were
 made using Beccy's digi image 'Christmas Star cottage', I used
 the black and white version of each  image, with and without the
 star. I used a brick embossing matt for the first one and coloured
 it to match the bricks on the main image. Almost lost the will to 
live colouring all those bricks too! I coloured the second image
in more summery colours and used various pastel shades.Such 
a pretty cottage don't you think. Anyway enough waffling from
me come and have a closer look..........
ps. A very big welcome to yet another follower also, thankyou for
 choosing me to follow :)

Christmas pig card

Good afternoon all , I hope you are all well and free from colds
today. I have another DT card to show you made for 'Beccy's Place'
again using Beccy's digi image 'Christmas pig'.I used the coloured
version of the digi and cut along the top of the image and used 3d
 pads to add height behind it.I chalked a soft green background and
used a quirky sentiment curved to match the piggy shape.
ps. 'Beccy's Place' has some cheap digi's atm...just $1.00 so go check 
them out before they are discontinued...look HERE.

Good morning everyone, we have rain, rain and yet more rain
 here today.Hope it's a bit nicer where you are.I have some
quick Christmas cards to show you today. All made with a
pretty digi from 'Beccy's Place' again . It comes with others as
a whole  'mini sentiment set', there are twenty in all. Coloured
 versions and black and white as always. All very similar as I had a
 production line going lol. Take care everyone and happy crafting !
ps. I have a few older cards to show you , will get those posted 
asap. An all white one too with lots of handmade flowers which
 I am quite pleased with. Also I will do a whole post about my new
 'Happy Cuts' machine. There isn't much info in blogland as yet so I
 will put as much as I have found out about it here in one place
 for others to see. I am very pleased with it I must say, it's for
 Christmas though so trying not to play with it too much as yet.
Well .....apart from (ahem) research purposes ;) Viv xx

Christmas cow card

Good morning bloggers, it's a tad chilly here today,7c infact 
brrr  keep  warm everyone.Today I have another DT card
made for 'Beccy's Place' again to show you all. The digi 
is called 'Christmas cow' and I decided on a moving house
card. This would be ideal for a farmer friend I know who
 is moving house very soon...and he has cows.....and a good
 sense of humour of course. I came up with this sentiment and
was thinking...... moving to 'pastures new', so I chalked a
 pasture background too. I hope you are all getting your cards
made for Xmas. I have most done now apart from the inserts.
I have also made a start on making handmade pressies also, jam,
beer, chutney,and soap lol.....what a combo eh !
ps. I took some photo's in a lovely beech wood where we
 walk almost everyday,beautiful autumn tree scenes....photo's soon.
Also don't forget Beccy's November challenge, details HERE.
