CCC - MY CHALLENGE - 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

Hello lovely blogsters out there - well  YEEHAAA it has happened!!  I have 100 followers thanks to the lovely Darcy Schroeder (Crafting with Darcy) and I am now going to tell you that I am putting together a smidge of CANDY to celebrate!  Keep your eyes on my blog - Blossom is helping me with this one ... and she is GOOD!   Anyway all will be explained when I have finished collecting the goodies for the CANDY BOX! 

Now for my card for the CCC - this time it was my turn to select our Christmas theme, so I chose ... The Twelve Days of Christmas.  I didn't mean all on one card - although if someone has decided to depict all 12 days, that will be wonderful!  I just meant for the girls to depict the day of their choice. 

Here is mine - I couldn't get past the first day - lol!  As it usually is with me, I couldn't remember all the days ie how many Lords were leaping, how many swans were swimming etc.   I just popped '12 Days of Christmas' into my search thingy and amongst the thousands of bits of info I found some pics (free of course).  I liked this one because of all those juicy pears! So .....

On the First Day of Christmas my true love gave to me ....... la la la la la la!

A Partridge in a Pear Tree - boom boom!!

Ingredients
7" x 7" White Card Blank - Anna Marie Designs
Digi from th'internet
Green Mirror Card - Creata
White dotty embossed card - C&C
Joyful Peace Paper Pad - GCD Studios
Sentiment - LOTV
Promarkers
Flowers/Holly leaves - WOC
Red Berries and leaves - Anna Marie Designs
 
I thought I would mention that the card (matting layers) which looks black is actually a dark green 'mirror' card from Creata - it really is a lovely colour but just doesn't show up on the pics - apologies to the Maestro because I asked him to do loads of them just to see if we could get the green to show up!  Eeeeeek!
 
This is another one to add to my collection of Christmas cards and another one I won't have to make the week before Christmas!  Woohoo.
 
Thank you for stopping by and checking out my cards, please take care of yourselves and have a lovely weekend.  It is quite nice here for a change, chilly but at least it isn't raining ........... yet!
 
Hugs to you all and thanks for any comments you have left me.

  3. So you'e made the big 100! Do you get a telegram from the Queen or something? Lol! Anyway, congratulations!
    I love your partridge sitting in his pear tree. Hope he doesn't eat them all or he'll have a terrible tummy ache!! Great card Sue. The Christmas roses look really pretty with the berries & leaves etc. Mirri card is so difficult to photograph isn't it? Silver always looks black, and now we know that green does too! Poor Graham - I bet his battery was just about flat having taken all those piccies. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, and please join in my singing!

    Love and hugs from Christine x

  7. Congrats on your 100th follower...What a wonderful image you found. I never thought of looking on the web...you were smart to think of that

    Pretty card Sue...those blossoms are gorgeous...reminds me of magnolias in the southern US. They sell those boughs here at Christmas...but crikey,,,they are a fortune each!

    This was sure a fun challenge theme...really enjoyed it.

    1. Thank you so much Judy - I also love the Bugaboo 12 days of Christmas set but I'm sorry to say that this is not one of them. The style is not as 'curly' as the Bugaboo one.
