I had an exciting evening yesterday..... photos at the bottom of this post.
A Christmas card today to join in with a few challenges. The Rudolph Days June Challenge begins today which means it's only six months until Christmas. 😲
The Crafter's Companion 'Jolly Gingerbread Man' is one I won in the Snippets Playground Challenge and I used it for the first time today. I used brown textured card for the gingerman and attached it onto a Sizzix 'Stitched Oval' die cut I used the die again in black, white and red card and inlaid and the little pieces. I wasn't sure what to do about a sentiment, so I decided to emboss the cream background with an Apple Blossom 'Merry Christmas' embossing folder.
Everything apart from the card base was snippets, so I'll be sharing my card over in the Snippets Playground.
I am joining in the following challenges:
So, yesterday evening I was finally able to use my Balloon Flight voucher. The last date was cancelled at the last minute as the winds suddenly got stronger. Yesterday was a perfect evening with light winds.

I love your gingerbread man Liz and the dry embossed background is very pretty and love the ornate oval mats you put him on and the cream and red are the perfect colours to go with him. Great photos of your balloon trip. Hubby went up a few years ago but I wasn't sure that I would like it so I stayed with my feet firmly on the ground..lol. x

Your Christmas card creation is wonderfully festive and filled with snippets of creativity! The Crafter's Companion 'Jolly Gingerbread Man' is a delightful focal point, especially with the intricate inlaid die cuts from the Sizzix 'Stitched Oval' set. The embossed cream background adds a classy touch, making it perfect for the upcoming holiday season. It's great that you could also share this in the Snippets Playground, and congratulations on finally using your Balloon Flight voucher! Great pictures!

What a great card, and oh my ... how fun to get up in a hot air balloon!!! A wonderful experience. I did tandem skydive once, but I think this would be better.
ReplyDeleteThat was brave! I don't think I could do a tandem skydive. xx
