Forever Friends for Christmas


Here's one quick card made this morning - just dropped the little one off at school and got straight down to the crafting!  The Forever Friends stamped image was a free magazine cover gift last winter.  I've coloured it with pro markers and added a bit of glitter to the party hat.  I used my nestabilities to cut the aperture and placed the image on the inside of the card.  The scallop frame was again made with the nestabilities.

I have used a Sizzlits die "Sparkle" for the snowflake because it matched in with some of the snowflakes on the papers.  Both of the design papers are by DCWV.



This picture does help to show the inside of the card and the smaller snowflake paper that I've used.  Sorry its not a brilliant picture!

I am going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Passion for Pro Markers - Animals (I hope bears and robins are okay!)
Secret Crafter - Include an aperture
Die Cut Dreams Christmas Club - A very Beary Christmas 
Just Cute Bears - I used their sketch

Before I go, the observant ones amongst you may have noticed that my photo has changed - YES! It is still me!  The old pic was about 3 years old so it was time for an image re-vamp.  The new pic was taken last month - without the specs and with  straight hair.

Right, I really must go now, lots of house work to do and plenty of crafty clutter to try and sort though (yet again)!  I'm sure I could win the prize "The World's Messiest Crafter".

Pop back soon!
