James Big Star - Lili of the Valley DT

Hello Everyone, 
I can't believe it's been two weeks since I've made a card!  Life has just been a bit mad!! I had my first fair for 2 years today, I'd forgotten how much I can talk!
Anyway here's a little Christmas card for you. This is 'James Big Star' from Lili of the Valley.

I've coloured him with promarkers and the background paper is from Make & Create. I've used my 'new' favourite die from The paper Boutique - Christmas Wishes and a Dees Distinctively stacker tree die.The gorgeous bear is 'James' from Lili of the Valley. The sentiment tag stamp is also from Lili of the Valley.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my little blog and for all your comments and encouragement.

Hello Frosty Snowman

Hello everyone, 
My crafty time has dwindled again! Emma started cricket again last week ready for the season next year! (We had 4 weeks off!). I've also spent quite a bit of time trying out new recipes as my son has recently been diagnosed with Coeliac disease. There's a fantastic range of gluten free things available but they are so expensive. Friends have given me lots of tried and tested recipes so that's kept me busy too. Anyway, I have a little card to share tonight using an image from Polkadoodles. This is 'Hello Frosty Snowman'.

I've coloured him with promarkers and the background paper is from Make & Create - Snowy Christmas. I've used a Marianne Creatables snowflake die, a Spellbinders snowflake die, Creative Expressions winter tree dies and a sentiment stamp from Lili of the Valley.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
