Make my Monday #109 - Colour Combo - Red, Green and White

I'm here today as it's time for the Make My Monday #109 challenge, This challenge has been chosen by Silvi, and you need to use the colour combo - Red, Green and White.

Here's my card for this challenge,

I decided to use this gorgeous design by Alex Syberia.  Alex sent me her latest release, the 2019 Holiday release to play with and unfortunately with being ill, this is the first time, I've had to play.. Please pop over to Alex's store she has the most stunning designs and I am very honored that she chose me to colour/play with her designs! 

I coloured/painted the wreath with nuvo mousse and Arteza pens, I cut the sentiment Joy out of the middle of the wreath and mounted it to a die cut bauble,   and added a ribbon bow.  The background has been splattered with gold and white gold paints. And just a couple of sequins finishes the card...  This card reminds me of those posh (hand made ones) that you buy in a Hallmark store LOL.  I think this card is going to be me go to card for the season, as it's very easy to colour and mass produce LOL, and I need EASY haha

I've tried to take a close up of these so you can see the shimmer!

So other news, my face ache/sinus problems are still with me :( so I've just hopped on to Amazon and bought a facial steamer, with the hope it may clear my sinus problems, and on top of that its the start to the hay fever season (my grass allergy goes off the chart so I've been told :(  LOL  The good news I can get my glasses on again, but it hurts after a while, so I haven't been spending much time crafting or on social media as I can't see to type or see LOL.. The joys of getting older and needing glasses for reading and for distance.. And hopefully my blood sugar is back under control... Because when I go back to the doctors as I don't want to be told off again haha..

Anyway, hope you all have an amazing week, hope you have something crafty planned and thanks for popping in to see me! I do love that you are all still with me!

AAA Birthday Challenge - #7 Include a number.

Hi all,

Its that time of the month again ... It's the first Monday of the month which means it's time for a new challenge over on AAA Birthday and this challenge #7 is to include a number on your card! The design team have been hard at work for this one, we have so many amazing creations, so I hope we inspire you and you come on over and join us!


We also have Izzy  as our guest designer for this month too! So don't forget to pop over and take a look at her card and leave some love too!

Here's my creation for this challenge,

For my card this month I have tied to use up scraps, you know the ones that end up in a basket, either you just don't like them or they are the wrong colour ect... well this is one of them, the inked background originally was a thank you card, but the placement was slightly off, so I found a die cut circle in my scrap bin and stamped the Happy Birthday from the Simon says stamp circle sayings,  I adhered that with foam tape and then die cut "50th" out of mirror board and glued it to the circle...Simple card, and I've used up 2 scraps LOL.

I won't be needing this card just yet, but it's good to know that I have one in my stash ready, now if I could only find my mojo to complete some Christmas cards and I'd be laughing!

Hope you all have a fab week and have something crafty planned!
