Here comes Frosty the Snowman again...

Just had to use the snowman image from Your Next Stamp more than once - he really is a cutie. This time I used a scalloped acetate circle folded in half to make a semi circular card. The acetate has a blue pearlescent circular card attached to the inside of the acetate and a white paper overskirt attached to the outside, which means that all the DST is hidden sandwiched between the two layers.

I must admit I went a little crazy with the snowflakes and gem stones, but hey it's nearly Christmas!!

My card fits some of the same challenges as yesterday...

• Paperplay - Christmas without red or green (shhhhhh don't look at the candy cane!)
  
• Stamp Something - Glitzy
• Crafty Calender Challenges - Winter Sparkle
• Caardvaarks - use digital images and sentiments
• Pile it on - Tinsel Town
• Cupcake Craft Challenge - a Christmas song or Carol
  

Have a great day everyone - and spare a thought for those of us facing job interviews - eeeeeeeeeeek!

In all the panic (see interview note above) I totally forgot to mention that Karen at Your Next Stamp is offering 10% discount this week to The Pink Elephant participants so if you fancy treating yourself pop over there and use the discount code TPE when placing your order. Yeah - Happy Shopping.

Naughty blog gremlin!!

Just read and clicked publish four lovely comments from friends and the comments vanished!

How awful is that?

So Irene, Vicki, Beryl and someone else (sorry can't remember who that was now) thank you I did read your kind comments, but for some strange reason they have got lost in blog land.

Pink Elephant Day...

It seems to be the season of favourites at The Pink Elephant as last week our challenge was 'favourite colouring medium' and this week we have 'favourite colour combo'. It's really hard to choose actually as there are so many gorgeous combinations around, but I went for one I haven't used for some time...

Lilac, white and silver.

Our sponsor for the week is Your Next Stamp who do some really cute stamps in both rubber and digital format. The image and sentiment on my card are from the Christmas Digital package, which is both bargainous and such fun to work with. Watch out for this snowman being around a lot this week - I really must get my Christmas cards done!!

I used the great sketch from this week's Friday Sketchers challenge and my card also fits the challenges at...

• Paperplay - Christmas without red or green
• Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog - Texture
• Stamp Something - Glitzy
• Allsorts - Purple (hope lilac counts for this)
• Crafty Calender Challenges - Winter Sparkle
• Caardvaarks - use digital images and sentiments
• Pile it on - Tinsel Town
  

Thanks for looking and do check out what my team mates have created using their favourite combos.
