It's Snowtime at St Luke's

I'm not going to start this post by saying how close we are to Christmas because it will panic me...arrrrgghh!..... I said it!

It's the first of December so no doubt James will be bouncing out of bed this morning to see Hannah open the first door of the advent calendar... he has given her the odd numbers so he gets the largest chocolate on Christmas eve, crafty little monkey :)

The beginning of December also means a new challenge at St Luke's Charity Card Challenge and this month the theme is  'Let it Snow' so we are talking snowmen, snowflakes, penguins, polar bears or even a snowy landscape which is exactly what I have made on my card....

(sorry about photo, I need to re-think the settings on my camera!)

Yep... I had another idea to use the Country Landscape die from Memory Box on a tri-fold card and this time I coloured the houses and trees with Promarkers and added enamel accents for snow with white gel pen highlights.
The falling snow is a stamp I've had  for years and is nameless but is extremely useful, the sentiment is by PTI, oh and of course frosted lace stickles to give that sparkle in the snow :)

Last weekend Tara sold a lot of your wonderful cards at a local craft fair and raised an extra £152 to add to the money raised so far which now totals £487, so thank you so much for donating your time and cards for this worthy cause, please join in this month too and continue to send them in... you could be the lucky winner of Decembers prize, kindly donated by fellow DT member, Deborah, which is this set of Dainty Doilies stamps from Waltzing Mouse....yummy or what??? 

So please pop over to the blog and see what the other DT members have made to inspire you and check out the background to this Crafty Card Challenge as well as the address to send your cards too :)

Thanks for visiting me, I'm going to hopefully make a start on the Christmas shopping today.... the first trip is never successful !!
