WOYWW and Chris's challenge on the Christmas Card Club


Thought I would share a couple cards with the WOYWW this week for the Christmas Club Challenges. The fortnight before last Chris challenged us to do whatever we wanted to so I made a card using Stampin' Up! products. I love the classic colors and Christmas trees and I used the products from last year that are not available this year! I have decided I have to start using the stash that I have accumulating in the studio!

This fortnight Claire wanted some embossing with blue and silver and hopefully I can sneak this card in and make it count for the challenge. I love this little snowman globe and used a little silver glitter before covering the whole globe with glossy accents.

Thought I would share a couple more pictures this week from Mallorca. Love the food and the way it is displayed ie:
ensaimadas:

cafe con leche...coffee with milk:

Anyway thats it for today. I still have about 10 days here in Spain and will try to post again when I have internet access. If you would like to check at WOYWW or the Christmas Card Club click on the links on the side bar and any of us will share with you what it is all about. Have a great week!

  3. Posting on holiday? Now that is dedication. Cafe con leche and a bit of sunshine would go a long way to making me feel fantastic! I particularly like the snowman in a globe

  8. the top card looks great. My theme for this year is USE IT UP. I'm not buying anything new, no I'm not, no really. Well maybe some clear stamps . . . some ribbon, maybe a mag or two. . . oh maybe some brads!!!!!
    thanks for sharing

  10. I hope the tapas in Mallorca are as good as the ones we had in mainland Spain at Soria - they were to die for.
    That Christmas card is really lovely - you are so talented to achieve that perfection.
