Allsorts challenge week 626 - Any celebration except Birthdays

A new challenge over at Allsorts and Mervi has chosen the theme for this week which is....

Any Celebration but NOT Birthdays.

Well, a no brainer for me as I have chosen - Christmas.

Our sponsor this week is Chocolate Baroque so I have used one of my favourite images using 'Baubles' Big bold backgrounds.



Chocolate Baroques Lesley will be back on our screen on Friday 4th June with lots of stamps, both old and new along with loads of inspiration using them.

As you can see I have made two cards using this super image, which is available here.  I have also used it using other colours which I am sure you will see at a later date, to me it is  an image that will never date, me thinks. The hard part is trying to remember who I have sent this card to.

For those of you who felt sorry for me about loosing my lovely robin stamp you will be pleased to know that I have found it. Silly me had put in in my Woodware drawer instead of my Christmas stamps drawer.

Thank you for popping by and any comments you are kind enough to leave and please do pop over to the challenge blog to see the lovely creations from the rest of the team.

It looks great in the two colours, you don't need anything else. Glad you found your stamp!

So a bit of miss filing with that Robin Kath! But isn't it frustrating, When my craft room was re-fitted a few weeks ago, I was quite brutal and did send some stamps off to the charity shop so you can imagine what I thought had happened when I could't find one of my favourite PN sentiment. Thankfully that as miss-filed as well.

It's a super image with so much interest and looks good in both colourways.

I have that stamp on my wishlist, I love that you have kept it simple as it really doesn't need messing with. Gorgeous xx

What an amazing Christmas stamp and both cards are stunning! It's so frustrating when we lose things, isn't it!! I've recently lost a favorite star die (I had used on this week's Allsorts card) but I didn't quit looking until I found it. Turned out it was in the box of jewelry wire I had used on that card, I honestly don't think I would have ever found it, had I not searched for it the same day. Because I almost never get into my jewelry making stuff.
