12 cards of Christmas

TSE is holding another card inspiration 'contest'. There are some prizes available but its more just a chance to get some card inspiration and make some cards ready for Christmas. There are two challenges each week, feel free to join in at anytime.

Here is my sample for week one Build A Scene Card.

Congrats to Krissy who won this challenge and Kirsty who won Tanya's photo inspiration challenge.

Its week two at the moment and there's a great bookmark card by Mary to make and photo/sketch card by Heidi. Check them out here.

While on topic of TSE and Cards here is a card Mary asked me to do to represent TSE in a recent Christmas Special publication: i came out a few months ago i think?

I made a 'fake' journalling pocket. the journal card looks like it moves up and down but in fact it is adhered direct to the page

In this layout i have used the Lisen Paper and corners and cherished one slide from the Sei range and mixed it with papers from Websters Postcards from Paris range.
