As You Like It Challenge (DT) Your Favourite Person To Make For

 Hello chaps, hope you are all keeping your toes toasty warm in this

little cold snap, anyone would think tomorrow was December!

So, before I tell you about the theme for this challenge, I have a little bit of news for you.  This is my penultimate post as a DT member for AS YOU LIKE IT CHALLENGE.  After several years of putting up with my scatterbrainedness, insanity, and hysteria, the team have finally sacked me.

KIDDING!  But I am stepping down, it wasn't an easy decision, and I'm sure I will regret it by January, but I need some time to recharge some creative batteries.  I have had a blast with the team, will miss all my teamies, and I should say that I will miss Red Leader, but she doesn't get rid of me, mwahahahahaaaaa.

ANYWAY - the theme for this challenge is

Your Favourite Person To Make For (and please tell us why)

For me, it's my darlin' mum, she loves receiving something unique that she knows has been

hand crafted just for her, and I know she stashes all her cards in a drawer in the dining room (she thinks I don't know about that)

What could I use for Mummy Bear other than the adorable James Bear from LOTV

Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

Sentiment is from a set of rubber stamps (ancient now) from C C Designs

Papers are from two different Christmas sets from Dovecraft

Star punch from Hobbycraft

Red cardstock from somewhere random on Amazon

I do hope you will be able to pop over and join the fun, after all, everyone has someone to make for

As You Like It (DT) Favourite Christmas Critter

 Hoorah!  It's Thursday, it's challenge day, and I'm ON TIME!

Yes folks, it's another challenge from the AS YOU LIKE IT team and this time around

the theme is Your Favourite Christmas Critter (and why)

I do love a teddy at Christmas, they're cuddly, cosy, and oh-so-comfy to squeeze, there is

something reassuring about a snuggly bear, especially a slightly plump one

So we have

Whimsy Stamps Teddy Bear Christmas Eve

painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

absolutely no idea about the Christmas word die (sorry)

the wishes word is from a Clearly Besotted typeface set

Matting layers, including Lawn Fawn 6x6 papers

and please don't ask me about the stencil

As You Like It Challenge (DT) Modern or Traditional (Colours)

 Well looky here, first Thursday of November and the Christmas adverts

have started on the telly already!

And speaking of Christmas, the AS YOU LIKE IT CHALLENGE

would like you to join in with the new challenge and the theme is

Modern or Traditional Colours (and why)

I tend to flip-flop between the two, one year modern, the next year traditional.  This year

traditional is back in favour, I love the richness and warmth of the reds, greens, and a sprinkle

of gold, it's just a lovely cosy feel.

You can't get much more traditional than holly for Christmas
