TTT Challenge "Party Favour Box" 25/11 to 1/12

There is a new Terrifically Thrilling Thursday Challenge (TTT) over on Shelly's Images Blog and for a change it's not a card but a "Party Favour Box". You have to use an image on it but it doesn't have to be one of Shelly's although I don't think you can get a better Father Christmas anywhere, so I used her Santa image as the front of the Favour box that I made.


This is the box out flat


This is the centre put together with four sweets inside - it would fit two choclates or two rum balls in this.


This is the front of the box tied with the ribbon


And this is the back of the box
Image used - " Santa " from Shelly's Images coloured using Copic Ciao Pens
Holly - Download from Cuddly Buddly "Cozy Dayz"
Embossing folder - Cuttlebug "Swiss Dots"
white/Red Card and ribbon from stash
These are so simple to make and yet look stunning on your Christmas Table. Why don't you have a go and enter this weeks challenge over on the blog?

Cuddly Buddly -The final "Linda's Card Challenge"

On the Cuddly Buddly forum there is a challenge called "Linda's Card Challenge" Linda gave a sketch to everyone and we had to produce a card using a CB image and the winner received a voucher to use in the store.
This challenge is finishing with a last flourish Nov/Dec so I decided to make two cards for this special one and I would like to thank Linda for her tireless effort in coming up with challenging sketches for us every month and for always being there to help everyone.
THANKS HEAPS
and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Linda for introducing me to the world of Copic Ciao Pens when I was in England earlier this year. I have never looked back and now own 117 of them and still growing as I am progressing on to sketch markers too


The above card was the first card that I made and posted to CB on 24th October.



This is the second card which I posted today 16th November

Both images are CB and both are stamps but I am sure they are also available now in digi format
