My Favourite Five Christmas Cards of 2014

Pink Christmas

I love Mo's Valerie so perfect for quick cards and easy to colour but still allows me layer the image.

Non Traditional Papers

I love how this card turned out, I used normal Prima papers and some dies, can't believe it turned out so well.

Poinsettia

Although the die was really tricky to use, I was really proud how lovely this turned out, so much I still have it couldn't bear to be parted from it maybe next year I will be able to give away.

Left Over Tree

When I discovered that the stamp set from Simon Says Stamps Be Joyful had a snowfalling stamp I was over the moon and quick cards like my leftover tree suddenly was made much easier than using embossing paste.

Santa's Clothes

My favourites have to include a  Penny Black somewhere and this one is that pipped the post.

You may have noticed that I have 6 cards this last one although not 'my' favourite it needs a special mentioned. First of it was a DT card for Simon Says Stamp which was for a Shaker card. 

I don't like making shaker card they usually end up leaking. What was amazing that this card was pinned 1946 just from Simon Says Stamp Pinterest Board and it was view 1873 times on Splitcoast Stampers. So I reckon this must be my most sucessful card I ever made.

To win my candy just add to Mr Linky your post of your favourite Christmas Creations, one rule they have to be made by you and in 2014.

Thank you everyone for being patience with me this year, I haven't been a good blogger this year, I promise to try my best for next year.
THIS IS NOW CLOSED PLEASE DON'T ADD TO MR LINKY 

Favourite Five

Yes I am going to do My Favourite Five Christmas and My Favourite Five of 2014 again this year. There's not many rules they have to be handmade and don't necessary have to be cards, some people do their favourite for each month thats fine by me too. If you can't decide on a final five I can even stretch to a few more.
On Christmas Eve I will put up My Favourite Five Christmas Cards and the candy is a Christmas one for a random entry.

Then on 30th December I will have My Favourite Five of 2014 again same rules as above and this will be kept open till the 7th January so plenty of time to enter. Again I have another candy for that one to for a random winner. There will be some ribbon which I will sort out before I post.
I will do my utmost to comment on everyones blog but it may take a few days to get round to everyone. I apologise for not having a fancy blinkie because I simply haven't had time to work out how to make one.

Favourite five Christmas

So here we are Christmas Eve with a enough food to feed an army even though we promised to buy less this year, the presents are wrapped and the double sided tape and glitter have been put away till at least after Boxing day.

But it does mean I have a little challenge and if like me you were prepared and have the post in your drafts waiting to be published. My Favourite Five Christmas Creations (or in my case cards) of 2013.

There's a link after each card to take you to the orginal post.

Snow Pals

A Portrait of Snowmen

Miles in Winter 

Family Snow People

Now all you have to do is make a post of your Five favourite Christmas Creations and using the linky thing add your link to the post. This time I called it creations because we all seem to be diversifying into other crafts including myself.

Favourite Cards

Yes once again I'm repeating My Favourite Five. One day I'll actually work out how to make a fancy blinkie.
The plan is on Christmas Eve you put on your blog your Five Favourite Christmas Cards/Creations of 2013 and I will run it till 4th January
Because I'm away for New Year, My Favourite Five of 2013 will start on the 30th December which I will run until the 11th January. This will only work if I can get to work out how to use two linky things.
There will be a random draw one of Christmas goodies to set you off for next years Christmas Cards and one of everyday goodies. Just need to find them from their safe place and photograph them

 Do hope you can join me again this year.

My Five Favourite Christmas Cards

It's finally here Christmas Eve.

The first is a Mo Manning card of that gorgeous Winter Fairy Talva the original post is here 

My second in no particular order is these fabulous snowflakes from Memory Box, 

you will find the post here.

Originally made for the Less is More challenge but love the Penny Black Stamp

You find this post here.

I knew everyone would love this Magnolia image, find the post here.

There had to be a cute Penny Black card somewhere, find the post here

Ok I know this is the sixth card but somehow I couldn't leave this one out cos I was so pleased how it turned out especially I had carried the idea in my head for several days before it was made, you can find the original post here.

So here's the Christmas candy, you know I love Mo's images and Penny Black so the stamp ticked both boxes. The snowflake is the one I used in my card above obviously a new one. I've also added some fun flock and flower soft which I use for snow and fluffy clothes.
So all you have to do is to use Mr Linky to your Favourite Five Christmas Cards to be in with a chance for the candy. You have till Sunday 30th December.
