VLV September Week4 & more

OK I told you another card would follow.  This one is a little crazy and shows a sneak peak of a set being released by Marks Finest Papers, A Heinrich company this week called Tweet That. 




I have used the colours from this week colour challenge (CC393), the layout from VLV week 4 and the little bird and sentiment from the new set.  I have paired it with a sentiment from the Christmas Greetings set.

Run over to the MFP store in a couple of days and you will find all the goodies.  Pop back here and to my team mates blogs and you could win some goodies - the hop starts Tuesday.

VLV September Week 1 - CCC12

I continued to use the September VLV sketches to add to my Christmas cards.  This time with sketch one I have used bling - perfect pearl sprayed doily, metallic card for the baubles and plenty of Stickles on the cute Penny Black image.

This is what I ended up with

Thanks for checking this out - another card coming really soon!

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.
