Christmas Flower
Today I am working with one of Bizzy Bec's digital stamps - Christmas Flower.
I have used a Christmas serviette, a digital snowglobe from my stash, Christmas Flower and a chipboard sentiment to make a quick card.

Bizzy Bec's December Blog Challenge
Today for my Blog Challenge inspiration I am using one of Bec's digital succulents and designer papers.
 |
| Tropical Floral Digital Paper Succulent Rose digital stamp |
I have used the digital paper on a green square card and foam mounted a die cut (from Shein). I then placed the Succulent Rose on the centre square and used one of my dies for Thanks which I cut twice, once in white and then the designer paper.
Don't forget our December Blog Challenge, our last one for 2022.

Candle's Fairy
I love Alicia Bel's digital images. Have you taken a look at Alicia's Christmas images. There is a challenge on The Wonderful World of Alicia Bel Facebook Group and the theme is Christmas or Winter. I have used Candle's Fairy for my card.
For the layout of the card I have used the following sketch from The Outlawz Challenges Wednesday Sketch, turning it anti-clockwise once.
and Wednesday Sketch Challenge (theoutlawzchallenges-wednesday.blogspot.com)
Nearly forgot ...
I had so much on my plate this month, just realised I have not blogged my Progressive Challenge entry for November for The Outlawz Challenges.

SheepSki Designs November Blog Challenge
Not long until Christmas, it's scary in October and panic stations in November. To get you in the mood, our theme this month is Gems, Glitter, Sparkles. I am using "Mini Vases". I have paper pieced the vases and put sparkle on them and the sentiment, with a couple of gems in the opposite corners. The chipboard corners are from Make It Crafty (sob, sob, sob, wish Zoe still had her shop). The vases and the background paper are both digital papers from Etsy and "Thinking of You" sentiment is from Scrapmatts.

I hope you will join in our November Blog Challenge and don't forget if you don't feel like being sparkly that is OK. Our themes are always optional.
