VLV September & CCC12

Well I am back from holiday and not working right now.  With more time creating seems more difficult! 

I am back working from Tuesday for a few weeks and then I will be moaning that I have no time to breathe - just can't please some people!!!

It is a Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich company, blog hop next week and I got my new stamps yesterday.  I haven't completed any cards yet although I have done some colouring and plenty of thinking. 

Today I have two Christmas cards to show you using the sketches from VLV for weeks 2 and 3.  Week 1 was too difficult to start with!  They will be 2 of my 12 for September as part of CCC12.

This card uses the week 2 sketch, some paper scraps from my desk and a lovely deep red ribbon.  The sentiment embossed in gold is from Verve.

The second card uses the week 3 sketch and one of the new expandable dies from Spellbinders ( I just used it on a circle).  Lots of glitter, a sentiment from Verve and 2 different DPs - DCWV for the dark one, Reminisce for the turquoise one.  I also used some plain white card with the Swiss dots folder from Cuttlebug and some perfect pearls!

Now that the temperatures have started to fall and the colours are changing Christmas does not seem that far off. 

I hope whatever you have planned you have a great weekend.
