Silver, Glitter, Blue for Christmas + Recycling - Challenges by Two!

 Hullo there everyone! just a very quick post to submit cards for some challenges, first for the LOTV Challenge,  about time I did another one! The competition was a  sketch, see below!












Decided to do a Christmas card as way behind on them! and as I don't have many LOTV stamps - it limits me. However, I do have some of their lovely Cute Squares, so I titivated this one up (from Christmas Animals Set) with some glitter and glue pen, silver Mirri card on Spellbinders Square Scallops, some blue DP paper and blue vellum with Cuttlebug snowflake folder. For the strip below across bottom, I used a Martha Stewart Punch (Layered Arches) top and bottom, and debossed inside silver card with the Cuttlebug Edge (Just My Type)embossing folder, and Cuttlebug Vintage Corners with a brad + bling on the side.
My second card is for the ABC Christmas Challenge, 
and the theme is R for Recycling and Ribbons or Rhinestones. You must create a Christmas project using at least on recycled item and it must also include either ribbons or rhinestones or both.

And on this card (similar to one done before) everything is recycled except the white background card it is mounted on – the white sheeny piece of card stamped and the red cardboard are really beautiful and it along with ribbons and holly are from last year's Christmas bonbons (see link here) – what a stash there was after my sister's Christmas, and heaps more not used yet. :D Used the Christmas Cuttlebug set, Baubles, + Nesties Labels 8, with a very old stamp, bought at $2 shop about 20 years ago!
Thanks for looking everyone and may God bless your day wherever you may be!!

    Like both your cards. The penguins are cute. The debossing is nice. I learned calligraphy before my daughter was born & enjoy it. Like your photo of the giraffes on your sidebar. One of the zoos here has a baby Giraffe that was recently born on exhibit with its mother.
