I hope you had a good weekend. The weather was certainly kind. I had a lovely time at the Farnborough Craft show of course I spent way too much money. It was also nice to meet up with Littlelamb who kindly comments on my blog. The visits with our parents went as well as could be expected. Then on Sunday we had a nice time with our daughter and son-in-law when they took their hamster back. This week I will be mostly invigilating.
I do enjoy making Christmas cards all year round and it is good to find challenges to enter. This is my entry for the Rudolph Days Challenge that starts on 25th of each month and runs to the end of the month.
When I got near to the end of making Christmas cards last year. I had lots of bits left over like where I had cut too many things for a project or the circles from an aperture I had cut. These are the bits I used on these cards. The mats were cut with the Double Pierced Square dies set. The paper in the background came from a magazine.
The deer from the Deer Family had been cut for another project and not used. The circles were cut with the Double Pierced Circle dies and were left over after cutting an aperture for another card. I added a glitter card line of snow and added some trees cut with the Winter Trees dies set. All the sets I have mentioned are from Creative Expressions.
I think this design worked quite well considering all the bits were leftovers. I do hate things going to waste.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Have a great week
Happy Crafting

ReplyDeleteA brilliant way of using your left overs and a lovely card. I have a lot of left overs and keep saying I must make them into cards but a lot of birthdays at the moment so haven’t had much time and now got new dies from Farnboriugh so playing with them. Was good to meet up with you on Saturday. Next time will be Ally Pally.
