I've got two entries for the One Stop Craft challenge. Love that mirror board for Christmas and snowflake projects. That red wall in my dining room doesn't do the wall hanging justice!! SU! stamp in nearly navy ink on the card background. Huge snowflake cut on my Cricut (twice!). Ribbon, button and bits from stash.

Classic Christmas
Christmas bag - One stop craft challenge
This A4 size white bag was given to me when I bought something in a local store. There is not a mark on it so it was ideal for decorating for Christmas. I used SU! stamps and inks and the papers are Papermania. I used my sewing machine to sew them together in a patchwork form. Ribbons, flowers and embellies from stash.
Creative Card Crew - strings attached
I have used fine cotton twine wrapped around the pink paper from My Minds Eye for the Creative Card Crew challenge. Ribbon and brad from stash. Star is grungeboard painted with white acrylic and glamour dusted!. Sentiment in SU! pixie pink ink on cream paper.

Red and White Christmas Cards
Colour scheme was inspired by Mish Mash who's gone mad on the red and white/cream from Christmas! Really pleased with my results. I have played with a new cartridge on my Cricut and managed to layer the scalloped circles up to create the toppers for this card. A bit of glitter for the paper and the organza ribbon are the finishing touches. The paper is Papermania Home for Christmas which I won on the Winter Wonderland challenge a few weeks ago - lovely!!!

Winter Wonderland prize candy!!
Sorry Sam - didn't do your card justice!!!! My photography leaves a little to be desired! This great card was from Sam who donated my candy for winning the Winter Wonderland bag, box wrapping challenge a couple of weeks ago - thanks again Sam!! x
Papertrey Ideas have rubbed off!!!
I got most of the inspiration for these cards from the DT at Papertrey through Mish Mash (Michelle Wooderson's blog) I love her ideas and would love to be able to keep up with her!!!! All the DT for Papertey do an annual make for a set of Christmas Cards and leave you a download of their ideas - it's great! So I have had a look at them all (there are about 12 DT members!) and come up with the cards you see here. Go over and have a look!
