Christmas card set for Scrapbook Boutique

This month at Scrapbook Boutique, I am playing with Kaisercraft Home for Christmas. For my first project I decided to make a set of Christmas cards showing how simple and easy it is to make using the Collectable diecuts that come along with the collection. More details on how I made these cards can be found here  My fellow Scrapbook Boutique DT member Linda Langes is coordinating the Caring Hearts Card Drive, which involves making cards to send to people in nursing homes. I have decided to get involved this year as it is close to my heart as my mum is in a nursing home on the other side of the world and having recently moved to a new one and unable to write cards this year I doubt she will be getting many. More details can be found on Linda's blog here


Here are some close ups of the cards:





Hopefully this gives you some inspiration to make your own Christmas cards or perhaps contribute to the Caring Hearts Card Drive

I did this layout earlier in the month but as I am working 3 days a week in Melbourne at the moment plus working from home I don't seem to have much time for blogging etc, but after finishing another 2 layouts last night I am determined to get them all blogged tonight.
First up is one for the joint Stuck?!Sketches  Sept 1st sketch and Scrap Our Stash Stash Challenge #30, which was to use items beginning with the letters that make up LAYERS.

Here is my effort:


Some photos from our holiday to the Gold Coast last December. Eleanor and I had our photo taken with Foghorn Leghorn at Movie World.

My stash items are:
L = Leaves
A = American Crafts (the yellow background paper) and arrow
Y = Yellow
E = Enamel dots
R = Rhinestones
S = Stickers, Stitching, Spray

And here is the sketch it is based on: 


Thanks for looking.
