Christmas Crackers

Well, one day we were knee deep in snow and the next, it was completely gone!! Like magic :-)) Don't worry if you're missing it though - we could have it all over again at the end of the week!!!
Here's a couple of Christmas Crackers to show you - I made them using Karita's tutorial in the Christmas Magnolia Ink magazine. I have put an envelope with money inside mine, but they are a really good size for a small present - (very) roughly the main body is 7" x 2.5".

Try as I might, I can't get the ends of my top cracker to stay pushed out, but it still looks ok!

Challenges

Stamp Something - Digi Day.     I have used Cuddly Buddly Digi Images.

Cuddly Buddly Crafts - The Icing's on the Card.    I added Star Dust Stickles glitter to both images and the edges of the leaves, punched the flowers from glitter card and sprinkled Diamond Dust on the snowflake.

CES Challenges - Anything BUT a Christmas Card - I know it 'Christmassy' but it's Not a card!!   ;-))

Just Cute Bears & Friends - Anything BUT a Card

 

Digital Images - Cuddly Buddly - these were freebies available here  but check out their shop for some more adorable images and tons of crafting goodies.      DP - My Mind's Eye, Signature Christmas.

Feeling Blue

I was really happy to be joining in with challenge over at
Just Cute Bears.
They have a lovely blog and it's so nice to see all the DT's adorable bears.
And then I realised - this isn't a bear is it??
It's a bunny... doh!!!
Cute though, right?

So instead I am entering this for the Pink Elephant Challenge,
where the theme is 'Ribbon'.
There is some stunning work from the DT over there,
so pop over, when you have a few minutes, and take a look.

Recipe:
Stamp - Daisy and Dandelion, Some bunny loves you,
coloured with Copics.
Design Paper - Daisy and Dandelion, Picnic Patch.
Lemon ribbon, card candy and sentiment from my stash.
