Yet another card for the Sugar Bowl and Sugary Sunday Challenges

Happy Christmas Eve to you All, its my younger brothers birthday today and a dear friends as well, and do you know if my dad had still been alive he would have been 98 tomorrow and my nephew has a birthday on Boxing Day, it was always a busy time in my home what with Christmas presents and birthday presents it must have driven my mum spare getting them ready and hidden. I can remember looking in her wardrobe to see what she had bought me for Christmas but I carnt remember ever finding out what we were going to get, its memories like this that keeps our thoughts of them alive at this time of the year.
Anyway next year is going to be a very special one for me as my eldest grandson is expecting his first baby in March so I will become a Great Grandmother for the first time, just wish my mum had managed to see this happen but I lost her 3 years ago but Im sure she would have been thrilled to know that she was to become a Great, Great Grandmother if she had, she adored her grandchildren and great grandchildren and to have had yet another dynasty would have been a great joy for her.
Anyway back to todays card this has been created for this weeks Sugary Sunday "Kraft" Challenge and the Sugar Bowls Sketch, Ive used this gorgeous Saturated Canary stamp image and stamped it onto Kraft card then used my Karisma pencils to colour her, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Die Labels No.8 to cut her out, I then used the Decorative Labels 8 for the mount.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of brown card, the papers I have used a Honeypots "Kraft" digi papers, Ive used two patterns in different colours of the same pattern and layered it up as the Sugar Bowl Sketch requires. The used some of the left over papers and a set of punches then embossed them with a tool and layered them up to create the flower at the bottom on the left hand side.

The sentiment is one of the Britannia dies which I have used on some red card.
The base care is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card and the papers I have used are papermania Xmas paper pack, the first a white background with red decorations on, the second is a another white background with hearts on, and the third a red background with Christmas trees on.

A Card for Sugary Sunday and Sugar Bowl Challenges

Good Afternoon all, well its been a extremely busy week for me as I have been involved with not only one Blog Hop but two and the second I had to organize myself, and I was so thrilled when it launched today over on my No.1 blog this morning beautifully, the girls worked so hard and it started at 9 oclock and each one of them was spot on time. I just want to thank them for all their hard work in making the launch an outstanding success. Anyway todays card was created for this weeks Sugary Sundays "Glitter and Bows" Challenge but also for the Sugar Bowls Sketch Challenge. I have used this sweet image of a girl with a gingerbread man in her hand, Ive printed her on to white card then coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Die No.8 to cut her out and a Decorative Die to mount her on. The sentiment is one from my stash and has been treated in the same was as the image, Ive added glitter to both the image and the edge of the sentiment.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card, on this I have used Lili of the Valleys Christmas papers and they are both blue and white, the first a blue background with white snowflakes on and the second the opposite way round.
I then wrapped a piece of organza ribbon around the middle and attached it to the back of the first mount, the mounted image was then placed in the center with the sentiment at the bottom on the right, I have then created a large bow and stuck it to the left of the image, and the final flourish are the three glittered buttons in the two opposite corners.
