Glitzy notebooks

A long time ago (when I first started crafting and thought that peel offs were OK) I bought some dress peel offs and they have stayed in the cupboard ... until I decided to alter these notebooks and mount the peel offs on gold mirror card. The background foiled cards are Hunkydory. The butterflies with gems and wiring have been in my stash for ages and ages.As I've had most of these items for ages, I'm entering these into If the shoe fits fashionista Friday 98: use our stash. But the background Hunkydory foiled cards were recently acquired, so I'm also liking for Jellypark friends: old year/new year - use something old and something new, also for Paper creations ink 15: something old, something new.


These are for:

ColourQ 117: basic black, white + any 1 colour (gold) - the first notebook
Create me pink 6: colour splash challenge - black and white with only 1 other colour - the first notebook
Sisterhood of crafters: black, white and one other colour - the first notebook
Pile it on 49: bling it up
Sparkles forum 27: anything but a Christmas card
Ooh-la-la 95: anything but a card
Prairie fairy Fridays 69: things with sparkly wings

A couple of birthday cards (for a change!)

Before Christmas I was asked to make a couple of birthday cards with dogs - these were made from a Kanban kit, using some card blanks with the bottom corners rounded. There is some gold foiling on the patches on the dogs.

Oh Christmas tree

'Oh Christmas tree' is the topic for Crazy amigo's challenge this week, so I thought I'd share a couple of cards with embossed trees.

The first card has a Websters pages paper as background - anyone who has seen my recent posts will know how much I love these papers - that vintage Santa is so lovely - it's for I brake for challenges 15: vintage, and It's all about the vintage 9: anything goes.

These trees have lots of hearts hanging on them, so this is for Paper cutz 119: all hearts come home for Christmas, also for Some odd girl love inspiration challenge where there is a photo that includes hearts.


The second card has some Basic Grey eskimo kisses paper as background, so I'm also linking this for Basic Grey 59: anything goes.

Traditional Christmas colours

The photo inspiration for Cupcake inspirations 141 concentrates on the traditional colours of Christmas:


This is a card that I made with some more of the lovely Papermania Classic Christmas papers by Stephanie Dyment, using these colours. The centre piece has foiled leaves that shine in real life:


he colours are also good for the Play date cafe 112:
