Christmas creatures

Hi and welcome back to my second post of today. This time it's my Papertake Weekly which is in focus. It has been really chilly around here for a few days and during the weekend the first snow of the season fell over us. I love it, but now it's starts to melt again. Wish it would stay, the days get a bit brighter that way.

So what is going over at Papertake weekly this week then? Well, we would really love to see all your Christmas creatures and that is a really fun theme to work with. I love it! Maybe because I love this fabby image from the PaperShelter. It's from last years Christmas collection and is called "Are you ready my friend?" The cutest one ever!


I have coloured my little friends with my Letraset marker family and paired them up with some designer papers from Dove Craft: Back to basic, Modern. Love the great colours in this pack. I did many layers and used a strip with text on it and punched a broders of Christmas trees for a bit of fun. Once again I used my "God Jul" die from Rox stamps. I found some "snow balls" in my stash and used those to build a snow lantern to fill the empty space under Mr Santa's hat. To add a little "fun" I used another findings in the never ending stash. It's some kind of chrystal ribbon. Well, here it gets to represent the snow and ice during the winter.

Well, I think this is it for today. As always I hope you come and join us over at Papertake Weekly. It's such fun challenge so you really should take part. :) Can't believe that half of my guest designing period is already over with this challenge. It goes way to qickly, I really enjoy the superfun challenges over here. Oh well, that's how it is, time passes by whether we like it or not.

Love n hugs
