Pink and Blue

It's time for a new challenge at Crafting for all Seasons, this is our last challenge this year and the theme is Christmas - Anything but a Card.

I have used an adorable Ultimate Kit from Paper Creator's Crafts called Candy Star Ted - it is available in both pink and blue versions, as you can see I used both to make a pair of Christmas gift bags.  If you pop over to Paper Creator's Crafts and place an order enter the code PAULINE at the checkout and you will get 20% off your order.

I loosely followed a sketch kindly shared by Jules from Always with a Heart.  Everything is from the Ultimate Kits, I inked the edges of everything and just added a little twine to attach the tags.

I would like to enter these gift bags into the following challenges:

Creative Card Crew Challenge 102 - Holiday Season

Melonheadz Friends Challenge - Winter Holidays
ABC Christmas Challenge - Y is for Youngsters

Crafty Boots - Christmas

The Crazy Challenge 211 - Christmas

Our Crafty Corner Challenge 4 - Anything Goes/Winter

Christmas Wreath

This is another card that I made for my Mum to send one of her friends.  I used a gorgeous image and papers that came with my Making Cards magazine a while back.

I have kept things quite flat again because this card will be posted, I just raised the image and sentiment a little with foam pads and added a few gems.  The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat.
