Paper Issues December Challenges

So, I am finding lots of Christmas inspiration over at Paper Issues...They have loads of challenges for December. and I played along with their card challenge this month. There was a sketch..see below:

And here is my card based on the sketch:

I used some patterned papers from the Jolly Christmas, Kaszazz range, love them!!! Made an embossed background, and tag and blended edges with some Colorbox chalk ink. I used a snowflake punch, (have been making loads of things with snowflakes lately!!!) Finished off with some seam binding ribbon and diamantes!!!

And here's some tags I made, have made loads of these for our Christmas presents this year and they look pretty lovely under the tree!!! These were inspired by a Pinterest image I pinned

Kraft Plus march challenge

• So I was lucky enough to accomplish 2 layouts on my days off. Funny story...The sketch I decided to use for my previous layout below, YOUR LAST BOMBIES FROM TOP ROCK, was a Page Maps sketch by Becky Fleck. I have loads of her sketches in my collection. When I looked at this month's Kraft plus challenge, I did a double take and realised they were using the same sketch! SPOOKY. I don't think I've ever used the same sketch twice in a row before, but the fun part was I turned the sketch on it's side and played around with placement of things a little and only used one photo! I'm happy with the result! So here's the sketch from Kraft Plus !

And here's my take on the sketch!

I've used some of my Heidi Swapp Project Life cards & chippies from the Glitter kit!!! (No escaping the glitter in this baby!) Assorted washi tapes, sequins, Francheville enamel dots, Arrow Stamp, A Heidi Swapp sequined arrow, love these!!! A little Heidi stamp, chippy and some glitter on glue dots!!!

I don't think I have ever used so much bling on a layout before, but I like it!
