Penguins - Bah! Humbug! GDT

I can't believe i'm on my final week as GD for Bah! Humbug! over at Humbug Hall, it's been such fun , I don't know where the month went it's just flown by.  I'll soon have to pack my bags ready to go home.  My wing at the hall has been very warm and humid lately.  Even after all these years of card making I still find it quite weird making Christmas cards at 5am ( too hot to sleep) in cropped trousers and t shirt and watching the day arrive.

This week I'm using images and papers from a Debbi Moore CD called Penguin Fun.  My fancy fold is inspired from another Debbi Moore product, I've added some glitter in the form of my Sakura Sparkle pens and some stars from my stash.

Mittens & Scarves - Bah! Humbug! GD

Woohoo it's Friday, can't believe i'm already on my 3rd week as GD over at Bah! Humbug!.  The ladies at Humbug Hall are looking for "Scarves and Mittens" this week, I know the weather's not always that great up there, but I reckon scarves and mittens might be a bit too much right now!!  My little offering is an easel card, poor Mr Snowman was feeling the cold and has his scarves and mittens on.  The image and BP's are both from Joanna Sheens Chrismas Creations CD, I used this for several cards last Christmas and this image was one of my all time favourites, the snowflake border was made using an MS punch, although it doesn't show up I also used a Sakura sparkle pen on the image.

Teenagers Card - Bah! Humbug! GDT

It's time for my 2nd GDT card already over at Bah! Humbug!   This week the ladies over at Humbug Hall are after a card for a teenager, I found this theme quite hard, not having or being in touch with any teenagers, I'm not sure what teenagers would think of as a cool christmas card, so this my take on the theme. The images and papers are from MCS Christmas Sparkle CD, the snowflakes were made with an MS punch from pink linen effect mirri, I used my ever favourite centura pearl base card made into a centre stepper card and highlighted some areas with a Sakura clear glitter pen.

Surprise Surprise !! - Bah! Humbug! GDT

Two Surprises, 1st one is I have been lucky to be selected for a GDT spot for the month of June over at Humbug Hall which I am so excited about.  

The 2nd one is the theme for this week over at Bah! Humbug! the humbug ladies would love to see your Christmas projects this week "containing or hiding a surprise".  

Despite my best intentions to make a christmas card each week this year, I've been overtaken by various events recently and haven't managed to make one for weeks now, so it's good that I get to make some over the next 4 weeks. 

Here's mine for this week I hope you like it. It would be lovely if you join us this week, you know it makes sense to get a good head start on all those Christmas cards

My image and papers came from the Crafters Companion Popcorn range, embossed card is from my stash, the holly and berries were cut and embossed from mirri using my Marianne Creatables dies.

Christmas Tree - Bah Humbug

I haven't been able to enter Bah Humbug for a few weeks, due to being quite ill, (a long and boring story, but I'm slowly picking up again now).  Thankfully I'm into forward planning and my current and recent DT cards were all made well in advance.  This is the first card I have made for weeks, I need to try and get back on track with my Chrissy Cards, so Bah Humbugs theme this week helped me to decide what to do, as my mojo seems to have gone AWOL right now, I do hope it comes home soon.

I printed these papers and images a while ago from Debbi Moores' Let it Snow CD, the card is a small A6 card.  The scalloped edge was hand embossed on my CC Board and hand cut with scissors, oohps don't look too close it's a bit shaky, the gold mirri was corner punched with an MS punch, glitter, ribbon and brads are from my stash.
