Two DT cards from me again this Wednesday. First up is my card for
THE PAPER SHELTER challenge #138 and our theme this week is 'Christmas is Coming'. The 2nd card is for
I ♥ PROMARKERS challenge #195 and our theme for that is 'Wedding or Anniversary'.
Even though I'm not a Christmas Card person, I love this image, lol. I can just hear Santa as he collapses on his sack..."And....relax". I bet Mrs Claus is on her way with a mug of hot chocolate for him. You can purchase this fab image
HERE. My backing paper for this card is actually some left over wrapping paper that I'd just wrapped my son in law's pressie in but I thought it was perfect for what I wanted to do, so a case of waste not, want not, lol. Don't forget there's a great prize on offer every week at the shelter, and it's even better if you use a TPS image.

My second card for I ♥ Promarkers uses a Lily of the Valley stamp. It's just so cute. Our sponsor this week is
INKY IMPRESSIONS.
I used an Embossalicious embossing folder for the background and a Cheery Lynn die for the lattice type bit. I'm afraid I can't tell you who the paper and die cut flowers are by as they're left overs from my daughters wedding album which I did...umm, must be over a year now. I computer generated the sentiment and cut the backing by hand, then added a bit of lace and some gems to finish the card off.

Cute Card! I guess Santa gets pooped out too. Saw it on MIM. Monica
Two gorgeous cards!! Wonderful coloring!

Starting with TPS card: this is adorable. I specifically love the color theme and the only white is what's around the image. Your coloring is beautiful on this sleeping Santa...and GREAT embellishments...just enough for this card without overpowering one of the cutest Santa's available in the digi world (my opinion). Next, the LOTV card...the gray and white and yellow as the third color...fantastic looking. This image is sweet to start with, but the colors you chose and the lovely embellishments on this card turn it into an awesome card. Beautiful cards, both of them! Hugs, Gail
Two, very different, but fabulous cards Lorraine. Great use of the wrapping paper...it's certainly perfect! xx
I love the little Santa card! Such great color combos and details. (I know red and green are traditional Christmas colors, but I find I don't like most shades - I love these).
WOW, two great cards Lorraine. LOVE this Santa and your creative wrapping paper find. Wonderful Anniversary card too...I like how you arranged the rhinestones. Pat K x

Lorraine, these cards are both so beautiful. What a cute image you have chosen for your anniversary card and I love your 'wedding themed' backing and embellishments so sure to take the couple back to the romance of their most special day.
Your Christmas card is such fun and so beautifully created. I'm so pleased Santa is being looked after so well ....I recall feeling just like him on 26th December when my mob were little. I'm just wondering if you are aware that you could enter this card in our challenge as our rules do allow for up to three entries of non Stitchy Bear images. Perhaps you've got more of your beautiful work saved for our challenge :-)
Good luck in our challenge this week. Ingrid xx ( OSAAT Team )
Two beautiful projects, both perfectly executed! Your coloring is always top drawer and your designed well thought out! Thanks for sharing your fabulous talent with us each week here at 613 Avenue Create!
