NEW DESIGN TEAM MEMBER - CHRISTMAS CARDS ALL YEAR ROUND!!


Happy New Year to you all out there!  I was in bed well before midnight, with earplugs in situ, just drifting orf nicely when all hell broke loose!   As the crow flies we are just a few miles away from a Racecourse and they do (hearsay only) lavish parties for all occasions, so last night was one of these very events!  It sounded like a war going on, I have never heard such loud bangs and thumps coming from fireworks, thank goodness it was relatively short-lived, although I am sure all the people taking part totally enjoyed themselves!

 Anyway I've started the New Year with some good news, I've been invited onto the Design Team for Christmas Cards All Year Round, I really am chuffed and pleased with myself!!!  Woo hoo!  This is my first card for the Team, the theme is Anything Goes so if you want to carry on with your Christmas Card making for next year (being so cheerful keeps me going - lol) here's just the Challenge for you to enter.
I bought the digi from Funky Kits (one of the Sugar Nellie range) 'cos I thought it was quite cute.

 Ingredients

 Digi - 'A gift' for you' Sugar Nellie at Funky Kits
Card Blank - Anna Marie Designs (White)
Papers - LOTV 'Twas the Night' paper pad
Copper coloured paper from stash
Star Border - Bazzill Basics Cardstock strip
Sentiment - Vintage Christmas 'Home for Christmas' - Crafters Companion
Rectangle Die - Lil'Inkers Stitched Rectangles dies
Star Die - Lil'Inkers Stitched Stars dies
Flexmarkers (and 2 Copics)
Stardust Stickles
Docrafts 'Glitz-it' - white glitter

 I'd love to see some of your cards in our Challenge this month, why not give it a go.

 Lots of big hugs, take care and I hope 2015 is good to you

    Hi Sue
    So, it was fireworks in bed then? Go Maestro!
    At least you didn't have a hot tub party to contend with lol!
    Congrats on the new DT call up.
    Your first card is a cracker (pun absolutely intended) so look forward to seeing many more.
    Happy New Year!

    PS as the other Sue keeps asking if its March yet, does that mean you're coming to the NEC again?

    Hi Sue, fab card and congrats for DT! Well, I actually ended up, for the first time in living memory (whispers) actually not making all my cards this year (to be fair I did get caught up in sewing a lot of decorations as gifts though!), so all my Christmas craft stuff is remaining at arms length this year and I will look forward to the challenges! hugs and Happy New Year, Carole Z X
