ALL LIT UP!!



Hello Everyone...well, I'm a happy camper, I'm all lit up and ready for the big day..3 hours of pushing bulbs and a few mutterings and BINGO!!..on came my lights on my Christmas Tree..so happy and sparkly..500 of them twinkling and shining...ahhh!!

But we are not here about lights, we are here for a new challenge over at .....

CRAFTY SENTIMENTS DESIGNS....  and this time we have a theme of .....SNOWMEN .....

On my card this week I have used the gorgeous SNOWMAN AND FRIENDS image, and I just love this snowman.....




Awww, he is lovely.

Coloured with...well, nothing really....1 grey copic and then loads of glitter...and his hat was supposed to be black, but of course I put glitter glue on it and it turned green...but at least it matches the papers now...

The papers are MME 'O Christmas Tree'...and the doily from 'Kaisercraft'..




A close up of image with his little birdie friends...and his green sparkly hat..lol..



The cute little alphabet clothes pegs, spelling snow....as if you cant read...




And the side view...made the trees by cutting out some of the papers..

LOTV sentiment...my favoutite from last year...

So glad you got your lights working, Chrissy - and boy was it worth the effort! A riot of colour and light - fabulous!

And as for this card - it's right up there with my all time favourites of yours... I absolutely love the layout - such a lot of movement, and great shapes! The trees are fab, as is the lovely doily surrounding to your sparkling image - and those pegs are a brilliant finishing touch.

500 lights!!! People will be coming from miles away to gaze upon your tree as it gleams it's "lashing of lights" through the window! LOL..couldn't resist. This is gorgeous and I LOOOVE your snowman card. It's only 5 in the morning, so the help you gave with the spelling was great..LOL..coffee isn't all the way to the bloodstream yet. I loved the pictures you posted last year with the tour of lights you took. I wonder if there will be more this year? That story was so sad, but inspiring too...
Hugs to you and thank you for the Christmas cheer Chrissy.
hugs,
Lisa xx
