Hullo there everyone!
A great privilege today as sharing with you my first card for the Guest Designer for Scrappy Mo's Christmas challenge - Rudolph day which runs from the 25th of each month to the end - in this case the 31st of Aug.
As Mo is in Canada you have extra time if you're in different time zone, as I am!

| As I'm still not well, my goal was easy if possible. Took the verse already made up from from snippets in my Christmas bits box, "For unto You is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the LORD", from Luke. I like the One Who is the real reason for Christmas to be on every single card I make, that's the whole point. Next goal was to use "neglected" dies. I found in my box of tricks a a new- bought-on-sale "American Crafts glitter card" in 6" x 6" pad. Decided to try this and love it. It is fab! So thin, cuts well and glitter stays put. Used it on the Martha Stewart leaf punch, Memory Box Piestra die, Memory box bauble die. |

| So added ribbon, bling and silver thread and that was it! you can see glittery bits better on this photo. |
Well, short and sweet from me here today as still recovering (see previous post - if you didn't know I have been very ill).
I keep forgetting how slow I have to take things. I maybe slow at returning your very kind comments too.

ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry you have been so poorly Shaz and equally sorry I only just got to know, sounds like you have really been through the mill and I pay you are soon back to full strength again. I too have been non too good and was sent away to recuperate mid July ahead of our holiday, but it's still slow going with left arm not really working so everything is taking an age and crafting slower than slow.
ReplyDeleteBut it's so nice to see you have made such a lovely card for Mo's challenge.

Congrats on your GDT slot, and you've made a beautiful card for it. So sorry to hear you've been so ill, but glad you're on the road to recovery now. Just make sure to take things slowly and let your body heal.
ReplyDeleteShaz, such a beautiful card today and I agree. Every card I send at Christmas points to the real reason for the season. I am so glad to see that you are well enough to post but so sorry to hear that you are still struggling in your recover. May God be with you and bless you each and every day.

So very happy to see you blogging again Shaz! I love your card- so lovely! the glitter is beautiful and love the sentiment. Have been thinking of you- take it slowly and take care!!! Hugs!
ReplyDeletea very beautiful stylish card - Lesley x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sparkly card & love having that verse on the front!
ReplyDeleteThis card really stood out for me when I went to the Rudolph day challenge. I love the glittery card, but I especially like the way you have incorporated a Bible verse with a 'secular' image. I too like the real reason for Christmas to be on all my cards, but my verse is usually on the insert. Well done for putting it right there on the front. Kate x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and all your pretty details!! Happy to hear you are on the road to recovery...it all takes time for sure....hope you are back at full speed soon...take care!!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully sparkly and shimmery Christmas card, it's how I love them!
ReplyDeleteHi Shaz, a stunning make considering how ill you have been, love the piestra tile down the side of the card and your colours, so many fabulous new dies around we can often forget just how many are hiding in our stash! The glitter cardstock the finer looking one from Spotlight? I don't get to our local one often it's over 1hr away... Sending hugs and get well wishes... thank you for the inspiration...Megan
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to see you back and crafting. Your card is just stunning. I love the shine, the ornament, the greenery and the holly. I hope your recovery is uneventful and I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteLovley colours on this gorgeous creation. Hope you are feeling better thinking of you ..xx{aNNie}
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, I have that die you used for the side, looks wonderful on white glitter paper. Its good to have you back and making cards. Take it easy.
