February Rudolph day challenge

It time for the February Rudolp day challenge over at scrappymo's......I am slowly getting back into the swing of getting my christmas cards made.....I made a version of this card with the holly striplet last year so thought I would see how it looked with the poinsettia striplet.....




the poinsettia striplet is cut out of the Sue  Wilson Noble pierced Squares...the 2nd largest size of set A...and rotated round..adhered to the same size white backing square covered in double sided adhesive....sprinkled with iced snow glitter jewels...matted and layered onto white card embossed with Sue Wilsons contemporary poinsettia embossing folder.a bow made on my Bow it all...love that tool.....the sentiment is a Sue Wilson die too....
hope you are having fun crafting this weekend....I am keeping warm and cosy in my room between doing a bit of TV catch up and some knitting....no rest for the girl!...
I hope you will popover to Maureens blog and enter the challenge there are lovely prizes to win
thanks for popping by my blog today hope you liked my creation.

Christmas card club challenge 4...snowy mountains and skies

this weeks challenge is set by Kate.....




made using mainly Sue Wilson dies...with only the addition of the dynamics stitched hills...sadly because of the snowy acetate reflecting the light my little scene of trees and a mountain lodge are not showing up very well...

get well Beverly Fuchs

Beverly regularly post on All things Sue Wilson on facebook and before christmas created a wonderful card which I much admired...she said she was happy for anyone to use her design and I was inspired to make this card.....
a homage to Beverly who has broken her wrist and has hurt her other wrist and so cannot craft at the moment.....get well soon Beverly I am missing your wonderful creations




I hope you are all well and to those who need some TLC a big hug.....
