The Artful Stampers Holiday Catalogue Blog Hop #5

Welcome from Anna’s blog. 
This week our Theme Challenge was Aussie Christmas. 
This was a challenge as I didn't really know which direction to go but after a bit of experimenting and searching through my Pinterest boards, this is what I came up with: 
CASE'd from Lorri Heiling @ Confessions of a Stamping Addict.
I am glad for the Kangaroo on the Animal Expedition DSP as I think that is what is making this look that little bit Aussie. And I just had to add the Aussie traditional bon bon paper crown on her head. The little koala gazing up at the star on top of the tree is a little bit cute as well, don't you think?

The Artful Stampers Holiday Catalogue Blog Hop #4

Welcome from Annette’s blog. 
This weeks Theme Challenge is Metallics

This is what I came up with: 
I think I am liking my cards clean and simple lately and I am sorry that my photo doesn't show some of my elements very well. There is Wink of Stella on the stamped little stars for a bit more glimmer as well as silver metallic thread behind the die cut star.

The Artful Stampers Holiday Catalogue Blog Hop #3

This is the 3rd Blog Hop of this series. Somehow I totally missed the last one which was using Untraditional Christmas colours. I have now printed off the list showing the dates & themes so that I won't miss another one 😉. 
So... welcome from Anna’s blog. This week we have something a little different with a Scrap page or Memories & More page Theme Challenge. I really don't do very much scrapbooking so this was a little bit of a stretch for me.

My husband and I celebrated out 25th silver wedding anniversary at the end of last year so I decided to scrap one of my favourite photos from the occasion.
This is what I came up with: 

I did an A4 size page and tried to keep it pretty clean and simple.
