Joanna Sheen DT card and goodbye

Good morning and a Happy Sunday to you, 

I have so much to get through today and the main thing I want to do is visit your blogs, yesterday I did my rounds a bit and loved all the gorgeous cards I have seen, so inspirational.

Well I am kicking off today with this card for the last challenge of 2012 for Joanna Sheen

our challenge theme is 'With love at Christmas'

I've used this Thomas Kinkade stamp, Pion papers, pretty doily and aqua colour ribbon, plus a few pearls. 

This is my final card for the Joanna Sheen blog, I've had a wonderful year with them and enjoyed making the cards but I feel it's time to say goodbye and move on to other things.

I hope you will join us in this lovely challenge.

Because this is a longer challenge over the Christmas and New Year period there will be a wonderful prize of a £30 voucher to spend at Joanna Sheen

Well as I said I've lots to do so I shall see you again shortly :o)

Loads of hugs

Joanna Sheen ~ Cold & Frosty Challenge

Good morning dear crafters, 

are you ready for another Joanna Sheen challenge?

Today we are having a Cold & Frosty Challenge 

 

I received a decoupage set of animals and I know what you're thinking, that's not decoupage, you're right, I admit to being hopeless at decoupage so I chose the cutest picture and made a card with it. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I used Pion papers

pretty lace

and the silver filigree corner.

Sentiment was part of the decoupage set. 

Don't forget to pop back to see if you are the winner of the £15 prize for Joanna Sheen and there's some great weekly candy up for grabs too. 

Thank you for stopping by

see you again shortly

Hugs
