Friday has come round again. I just can't believe how fast the weeks seem to fly by and Christmas is looming every nearer. Thank goodness I have been making cards each week for the Bah! Humbug! Challenge since the beginning of the year. I still can't believe that this year there will no last minute rush to get things finished. So smug I could almost smack myself!!
This week our theme is Reindeer either the famous red nosed variety or maybe an elegant deer such as mine. When I first started to think about this challenge I was going to make some Reindeer Poop bags similar to the ones I did last year as I need to do some for the Christmas Fair at Laura's Nursing Home, but this year I'm adding raisins instead of marshmallows and I haven't really had chance to get them yet.
Oh okay confession time - I ate the raisins, but I am gonna buy some more - honest!
Anyway the less said about my chocolate addiction the better!
On to more important things. My reindeer contribution to this week's challenge was just such a quick and easy creation I felt like I had cheated big time.
The gold metallic reindeer is a die cut from a Create and Craft set that I won in a recent competition. The white embossed and glittered background was one of the cards from the same set. I'm afraid I cut the 'pretty' part of the card off and used it as you would use designer paper matting and layering onto silver mirri card and then on to a base of gold swirl embossed card. To finish the card off I added a gold sentiment peel off and three gold 'mock' brad peel offs in the top left corner.
In the words of the famous meerkat 'Simples', but while it may not be one of my favourite cards I do quite like it and much as I love making cards you just can't spend a whole morning or day on every card.
In addition to Bah! Humbug! my card is also for the following challenges...
- Crafts and Me - Glitter
- ABC Christmas Challenge - Winter Wonderland

Oh Ann ... I absolutely love this card - the die cut reindeer is just fabulous in gold and the subtle swirly pattern around the edges is beautifully elegant. You shouldn't feel guilty for choosing to do something 'simples' -(I do it all the time LOL) - besides it seriously needs nothing added. TRUST ME!
Luv'n'Stuff

Your card is simple but elegant Ann, so nice. Like the idea of the Reindeer Poop Bags too, they look good either with marshmallows or raisins!!! I could eat either.

Love the hat. I think you like metallic shiny as much as I do. Beautiful card.Thanks for all the wonderful comments you leave for me.
HI Ann - just popping over here to say how much I love your hat!! Whilst I'm here, I would also like to say how much I like your Reindeer card too!! There's nothing wrong with "quick and easy", especially if the result is as beautiful as this. Also, there is nothing wrong with "eating all the rasins" - they are good for you! (although I prefer chocolate myself)!!!! I can feel a visit to Betty's coming on!!!!
Hugs, Sylvia xxxx
Evening Ann,
