Week 1 ~ December Challenge

[Janice]

This design is taken from the Doodlebug Design website.

My thoughts are - see if you can take this design and make it into a funky or traditional Christmas Card.

I am having a clear out in my craft room and have discovered LOADS of stash that I in excess. So, everyone that uploads a Challenge, will go into a draw and I'll get my husband to pull a name from the bag on Sunday and they will get a little prize :D

Lets get making!!

[Beany]

Ooh, this looks good! Thanks Janice, I'll see if I can squeeze one in :)

[passionflower]

[Janice]

Excellent - glad you want to have a bash :D :D

[passionflower]

Ok Janice loved the challenge as it made me get my sewing machine out which I have been meaning to do for ages!:rolleyes: Anyway I finally get it out and I have gone through so many bits of paper and card trying to sew it you wouldnt believe!:lol: Well I have done my take on the challenge but the stitching is very wonky mind you I dont think metallic thread was the best choice for first time sewing:wacko: not sure I will do much more of this sewing lark!:P but thanks for the challenge.

Oh I can't believe I missed this this week - have found some Christmas ribbons I didn't know what to do with! So am going to give it a go!

[Janice]

Ohh good - the more the merrier :D :D

[mysticclare]

Well the Christmas ribbons were a bit big so I had to cut them in half - but I quite like the "raggy" effect! (The stitches are drawn not sewn!)

[Hysteri-CAL]
