Here's another chance for you to continue with your Christmas card preparations as our challenge this week is entitled
Jingle all the Way!
For this we would like to see some reference to any of these things.... bells, reindeer, Santa, elves, stockings, presents, decorations, Christmas songs/music/instruments... in fact anything Christmassy!
Before you see the cards from us, I would just like to say a huge
THANK YOU
on your behalf to both
Sarah and Anne
for their tireless work in visiting and commenting on EVERY submission to our challenges.
Not many challenges can boast that the DT comment on SO many entries.
What very special people they are! True LIMettes!
Thank you girls, you are absolute stars!

The 'jingle bells' image is from Pink Petticoat;
it's coloured with Derwent Coloursoft pencils,
drizzled with Wink of Stella, generously coated with glossy accents
then left to dry overnight.
Next day ... distress inking to the background before
spritzing with water and Perfect Pearls.
I've used textured embossing paste on the panel behind the circle,
Mama Elephant: Index card dies, sentiment from Uniko Studio
with some gems and twine to finish
(she has an hilarious card on her personal blog... you must visit to take a look!)
A DL card for a change. I found an image of Jingle Bells music using Google and cut a strip including the margin. Added a bit of Old Paper Distress Ink, stamped Tim Holtz trees and added a Tim Holtz diecut word.
I used a whole bunch of die-cuts for this card.
The wreath (x2) is Memory Box, the holly - Impression Obsession, the sentiment from WPlus9 and the jingle bells from Memory Box. The mounts were cut with Spellbinder square dies.
As ever I have a few more cards for you to see, I love to see you on my personal blog too!
This is a week to have fun!
If you don't have stamps for this week, there are various digi images which can be easily found!
SO go on... enjoy yourselves!
