Mo's Fruitcake!

This was an image that nearly got away!   I'd forgotten that I'd coloured it up when it first came out  and so have made a quick card for next year!  (So organised haha!)  She's called Fruit  Cake - the link takes you to the image in Mo's store.

The papers are from NitWits and the sentiment is Lili of the Valley.

Hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas and you haven't eaten too much cake!!

Hugs, Juliexx

We've had an incredibly busy week leading up to a great Christmas weekend with most of Nick's side of the family so lots of house guests and kiddies running about!  So I've not been about much and I've certainly not had time to get in my craft room.  Luckily, I have a few cards that haven't been blogged yet and I'm hoping to get in there today/tomorrow now that our visitors have left!  

I used  Sharing a Song from Mo's Digital Pencil for this card - so cute!

'Tis the Season to Sparkle and Shine!

It's new challenge day at  A Passion for Promarkers  and our theme today is all about the Sparkle and Shine.  And some of us on the DT have been able to work with one of  Sponsor's, Leann's World 101, gorgeous  images.  This one is called Fun With Stockings - click on the link to find it in the online store.

I've used lots of frantage  and sparkle dots (as you can see - I did do a bit of heavy breathing using so many sparklers in one go!} and the sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.  The tree and the snowflake corner panel are both Marianne dies, details below:

Snowflake Corner Panel - LR0497

Christmas Tree - CR1230

Sparkle Dots are also from Marianne Designs.

The Thinker for an Accountant!

Another break from Christmas cards - and another male card using The Thinker from Mo's Digital Pencil.  This image was just perfect for the recipient who's an accountant and teamed up with this Woodware sentiment sealed the deal for me!  

The  ledger background papers were from an October Afternoon pad, I think and the stitched wonky squares dies are MFT.  and of course, all coloured with my Promarkers as usual.

Nearly the weekend, so enjoy your Friday!

Hugs, Juliexx
