Jingle Bells - Half-way

Jingle Bells is the theme for this fortnight over at ABC Christmas Challenges and we are half way already!  I have interpreted this challenge as including a bell.  This is what I have come up with.  

It is a Pollycraft image from the Swings 'n Slides collection called "Ring out those Bells".  Unfortunately the shop closed down and this image is no longer available, but some of the other Swings 'n Slides images can be found over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps.

For this challenge our sponsor is:

Wild Orchid Crafts

one lucky winner will receive a £10 gift voucher

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

My Time to Craft - Christmas in May
Christmas Stamping All Year Long - Christmas Carols (Jingle Bells)
Oldie but a Goodie - Inspired by a song (Jingle Bells)
Card Mania - Spots and/or stripes

Levi's Birthday

Finally finished Levi's birthday card, just waiting for the glue to dry.  Glitter gives you a great effect, but it is a pain to work with.  I think I got more of it over myself, the table and the floor than actually ended up on the card.  I'm very happy with the way it has come up, just wish I could have got the scissors inbetween his arm and head, but I was a little concerned I might have chopped his arm off!

Boy's Birthday Card

I'm really proud of this card, I think it is one of the best I have done to date.  One of those that I would rather not give away, oh well.  For once I actually chose the paper BEFORE I coloured the picture, made life so much easier (mental note for the future!).  I had already decided to colour in this Pollycraft image before this weeks challenge was announced, the girls are off to a boys birthday party this weekend.  When it turned out to be a layout, I just followed along with their design.  Hopefully they like it, I do!
