oh no a double post - Welcome to Mo's Digital Pencil Dreamteam Blog hop-Let it snow + Colour Create challenge 60-Plum and White

Good morning everyone I hope the bad weather that's supposed to arrive today hasn't hit you yet...keep warm and safe if it has, you will have to excuse the bad photos but I dropped my camera yesterday and it actually bounced...oops...so they are a bit blurry at the moment but I'm hoping (fingers crossed) it will settle down...its a double post day today so without any further waffling first is the Mo's Digital Pencil Dreamteam blog hop which you should have arrived here from our fabulous Guest Designer Heidy, if you haven't then you could hop on over to our wonderful Peri's blog, our host this month who chose the theme Let it Snow, so you don't miss any of the fabulous creations..I used the stunning little Kai in the Snow for my card, isn't this image just the cutest little thing



I coloured him with Distress inks and used this lush Basicgrey Marjolaine Mint Fudge paper, I'm loving this new collection have you seen it yet, the snowflakes are gel stickers and I finished with some glitter (of course you cant have snow without glitter) and ribbons from my stash...your next stop on our hop is the amazing
I used the sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp and I'm also entering this for the Stamp with Fun Christmas card challenge
My next card is for our new challenge at Colour Create which this time was our lovely Julies choice and she chose this rich Plum and White, gorgeous colour combo isn't it, I had the great pleasure of meeting up with Julie at the NEC and she is gorgeous and a really nice woman too...I used one of the new Crissy's digis from Whimsy Stamps its called Touched by Love, isn't this image so beautiful just a perfect Christmas image...I coloured it again with distress inks and again used a mixture of Basicgrey papers
when you have time pop on over to Colour Create and have a lot at the rest of the DT's amazing projects...it always amazes me how everyone uses the same colours but gets such different pieces of work, brilliant isn't it...thanks everyone for sticking with me for this long post and I will be back tomorrow at 8am with my Just Magnolia card and then at 9am with something I have been bursting to tell you about....have a warm, snug day everyone
