Welcome to my crafting blog. After retirement, my husband and I moved to a beautiful location in the Okanagan area of British Columbia. I love all paper crafts including mixed media, journaling and cards. I also dabble in papermaking, photography, fibre art, and altered books. I am an active member of several card and mixed media groups and on the design team of several challenge blog. I love the world of blogging, it has opened many doors for me. My favourite quote is by Maya Angelou. “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” I hope you join me in my search for my creative side. Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy a Cup of Christmas Joy

 




It is a tag challenge at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges this week.  Use a tag on your card or make a Christmas theme tag.  Bugaboo Digi Stamps is the sponsor this week and one lucky person  will win a great prize.  Hope you will join in.


For my card I used a Bugaboo image called, JJ Ornament 'Tis the Season.  I used the directions on Splitcoaststampers for the double diagonal pocket card and two sentiment digis, one from Arty Pants and the other from Crafty Cats Designs. 

Both tags after I embossed the snowflakes I rubbed on gold rub on paste to highlight them. To one tag I added the fabric snowflakes that I coloured with gold ink and glittered. The second tag I added a little metal angel to give the tag some interest. 

Need inspiration, check out the other design teams creations at Holly Jolly this week.  Thank you for stopping by and do something creative for yourself today.

    I've never seen a double diagonal pocket card before, and I really like the look of it! I like how you've decorated this card in traditional Christmas colors, and the golden touches look fantastic! Thanks for the inspiration!
