Indoors Decoration

Good morning everyone!

It has been very quiet on my blog this week and I haven't been able to visit all the other blogs I love as I have been struck down with the flu :( Thankfully I am feeling much better again now, as a new challenge is starting today at Fab 'n Funky themed "WHAT'S INSIDE", one of my teamie Beccy's ideas, meaning that we want you to decorate the inside of your card. I always do that anyway, a great way of using up scraps of paper, but thought I would make a bit more of an effort this time around. I got to play with my new purchase, Card Candi, which I really enjoyed, so versatile but it doesn't add much in terms of weight to your card (very important if you want to mail your cards, which I usually will).

Here is my Christmas-themed card, both inside and out!

Spicy New Release @ PCD

Happy Monday everyone!

Well, as happy as a Monday can be I suppose ;) I wanted to share a new release from Platypus Creek Digitals with you this morning, featuring a lovely gingerbread man. You can have a look at the whole new release at the PCD challenge blog. There's several "accessories", such as a sentiment and a baking sheet. There's also a cutting file for those of you with cutting machines, that was released a little earlier last month. This is my make with the digis:

I've been raiding the scrap box again as you can see, though the mountain never seems to change in size very much. I guess that's what happens when you save every last piece of scrap, however small :) For this card, these little snippets actually came in really handy, as they were used for a quilting-inspired panel. Hope you like it! You can find this new release and other lovely digis at the PCD Shop.

Materials:
* Platypus Creek Digitals Gingerbread New Release image and sentiment, coloured with Promarkers and Spectrum Noirs
* Several scraps from my scrap shoe box
* Eline's Winterhuis sentiment stamp set
* Cosmic Shimmer Red Fire Twinkles
* Flower punch (used as snow flake)
* Pearl, gem and ribbon from stash
* Green, red and chocolate brown ink
* White gel pen to create some faux stitching

* ABC Christmas (Quilting)
* Bearly Mine (Anything That Glitters)
* Creative Card Crew (Christmas)
