It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Hello lovely people,

It's not long to go and I still don't have all the Christmas cards I need, so guess what my Dies to Die For DT card is today?!

I definitely didn't need any more Christmas stamps but somehow a set from Neat & Tangled came home with me when I was on the DtDF stand at the last Motorcycle Museum show!

This little snowman and the sentiment are from that set and there are a whole heap of other cute images in there too.

I did basically the same design with the penguin from the set, but he was feeling camera shy and I don't have a photo of him!

I hope you have all been enjoying some Christmas crafting!

If I've tempted you with any of the lovely supplies I've used then you can go straight to the individual products via the links at the end of my post or just pop over to Dies to Die For and have a little browse around!

Hello lovely people,

It's a bank holiday weekend here in the UK so I am making the most of it!
I was once again sampling some tasty beers at a beer festival yesterday and the weather was pretty good for it; fairly warm and no rain - hurrah!
I started today with a lovely cooked breakfast, which powered me through cleaning the bathroom, and then I've been doing some colouring.

Speaking of colouring, I do have a card for you and today I'm showcasing some LOTV products as part of the Design Collective.  I'm still on a roll with my Christmas cards so here's number 3...

I added die cut snowflakes under the ribbon to create a border effect.

I liked this design so much that I did another version with a few little twists, using different DP, twine instead of ribbon and a different tag sentiment.

Version 2.0 also has a little line of Stickles on the snow and since it looked good, I went back and added it to the first one after the photos were taken!

Do you have a favourite?  I still can't decide which I like best!

Either way I can say for sure that I love this cute snowman and he is sure to feature on a few more Christmas cards this year!
