It's Christmas at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges

Hi Folks
How are you all?  Sorry I haven't been around much the last few days.  We spent a lovely weekend away with some friends on the Norfolk coast.  There were 14 of us sharing a large beach house and it was lovely.  We were actually sunbathing on the beach on Saturday and Sunday.  But back to reality and now trying to get myself organised again.  It is surprising how even three days away can mess up your routine.  

Anyway, today sees the start of a new challenge over at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges.  Our theme for this week is:
Christmas in July

We have three sponsors joining us for this challenge:
Bugaboo Stamps - prize of 7 digi images to the winner
Sunsational Stamps - prize of 5 digi images to the winner
Digital Delights - prize of a $5 gift voucher

Here is my inspiration project using a cute image and sentiment from Bugaboo Stamps called Christmas Sheep.


These days I seem to be going along the route of simple layouts and less embellishments.  This card follows that theme.  All the matting has been done onto green glitter card.  The background paper was in my christmas paper pile and I must have had it for about three years. The image has been coloured using promarkers and I did add a touch of distress ink around the edge of the image and sentiment.  A large button brad and some paper trees were the only added embellishments.  Not sure is you can see it clearly but I also added lots of glamour dust to the image for added sparkle.

Thanks for popping by and looking forward to seeing all your entries.  Just pop over to Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges for full challenge details.  Don't forget to check out the super inspiration from my talented teamies.

    Great fun card love all the sparkle. With the cost of postage I think we are all getting very careful about adding too many embellishments.
    Thanks for sharing at CHN Christmas extra for July.

    Hi Mags! This is soooo adorable. I love the subtle touch of glitter around the image and sentiment. I've been defaulting to simpler designs and less embellishments lately too. Thanks so much for joining us at My Time to Craft for Christmas in July!
