Good morning everyone, I’ve been such a bad blogger and didn’t realise how long it had been since my last post!
We went to Tenerife, it was lovely just to get some sunshine and relax but I’ve come back and it’s Christmas, and I haven’t done a thing!!
I promised myself I would make all my own cards this year and despite good intentions I only had about a dozen done (which admittedly is better than usual) so I’ve frantically been trying to get them all made over the last couple of days. I’m not good under pressure and when I know I have a deadline my mojo goes out of the window
These are a bit of a change for me, the challenge this fortnight for AYLI is your favourite Christmas animal so I looked at some Polkadoodles collections as they are our sponsor this time
I’ve used the images in them quite a lot but never really taken notice of the design sheets which are included. What a revelation, they are fabulous! You just print the A4 sheets and all the toppers and embellishments are ready to cut out and use, I printed the matching backing papers too and was really pleased with the results
The first one is my challenge card, my favourite Christmas animals have to be polar bears and penguins so this image is perfect…
The snowflake background I used is a Marianne die
I thought I’d share this one too as I made quite a few…
There’s still time to enter the challenge and we have a fab prize up for grabs from Polkadoodles
The bundle I used for my cards today is Winnie Winterland. The prices are very reasonable anyway but if you want to buy anything do it on a Tuesday when they usually publish a fab discount code on their blog

Thanks so much for stopping by, I’ll be trying to catch up on all your blogs later this week when I eventually get myself sorted for Christmas
Oh my, all that oodles of fussing cutting. You are a glutton for punishment ! They do look wonderful. I have several of their cd collections and have only ever just used one or two images and not everything that is included. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteThanks Valery - I do like cutting!
DeleteOh WOW Anne, I love your cards, they are so beautiful.
