Barley There

I am so glad that I had my image coloured well in advance for this challenge.  The weather was horrendous last week.  Four days in a row over 41 C with two of those days reaching 44 C and no air conditioning at home.  It's just so hot, all I did was flop on the couch and watch the tennis.  I was very glad to go to work that week.  

This fortnight challenge at ABC Christmas Challenges as B - Barley there.  So put away all those embellishments, lace etc and go back to the land of simplicity.  My card uses a stamp from the Stampin Up! set "For the Birds".

Thanks for dropping by and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

T is for Transparent

Hi everyone!  I have finally been able to get back on the ABC Christmas Challenges schedule.  I took a break, but ended up with appendicitis, so would have missed the time regardless.  Then my daughter got sick!

This time round the challenge is to include something transparent on your creation.  I have created a recessed window card.  I covered the top of the recess with acetate after stamping it with the children sledging (SU "Welcome Christmas") as my transparent element.  The background stamp is also from SU, "Lovely as a tree".

The photo isn't too crash hot, (this is the best of a bad bunch), but it gets the idea across.

This challenge is sponsored by Stamp Fairy who are offering a $10 voucher to spend at their store.  Good luck to all those who enter!

Thanks for stopping by!
