Furry Friends at Fussy and Fancy Friday

I think I may have stretched the theme a tiny bit here but Lions and Tigers are definitely furry and Elephants are kind of hairy - and they look kind of friends to qualify for the Furry Friends challenge at Fussy and Fancy this time round it was going to be lions and tigers and bears in true Wizard of Oz style but Jellybean from Whimsy stamps insisted on joining in the fun with paper from Sassy Designs and sentiment from Lili of the Valley

Merry Merry Christmas

A Merry Christmas to everyone I'm sharing my hubby and daughter's card as we always give them Christmas Eve

Images are from Stampfairy, Little Scraps of Heaven and alphas were a freebie last year from the Clipart Fairy

I hope you all have a wonderful day and thank you for dropping by and looking at my creations.

Whimsy Challenge Reminder

Anything goes so long as it's festive at Whimsy Inspires is the current challenge and you still have time to get your entries in.

I've used Christmas Birdhouses 10  by Moon Cookie Gallery for my final Christmas card of the year.
Sorry for the weird colours in the picture but it doesn't seem to get light here just at the mo.

TUSAL

And I'm running very very late for the last TUSAL update of the year we finally have some Christmas decorations but seem to have mislaid the main box full some where in the move - it was desperate enough to get me up in the loft although I did have to have a bit of help to get back out again. No idea where they went but suppose it's a good time to replace them. we do have the trees and the lights but it's just a bit sad to be without some of the other things.

And here's santa!!!! Anyone who knows him will have fainted in shock I spent quite a while falling about in fits of giggles as he is the most anti Christmas person I know fortunately I resisted the urge to dress up as one of his elves.

Brilliant! Really surprised how much I enjoyed this

Chubby Robins

Here are some chubby robins to welcome in December! I'm even more Bah Humbug with Christmas now but these little guys are kinda cute. I stitched them then ironed them onto interfacing to stop any fraying and cut them out with tiny scissors. The papers are My Minds Eye and the Scrabble letters are Whimsy stamps.

Fairytale Fussy and Fancy Friday

I don't normally combine challenges but if I'm honest I'm fed up with making Christmas cards so decided to kill 2 birds with 1 stone as we have a new challenge today at Fussy and Fancy Friday - We love Christmas and it's also team A's turn for Fairytale Friday at the Teddy Bo Challenge

Paper: Vintage Papermania

Sentiment: Cuddly Buddly

Tools: Sizzix Framelits Stars and Snowflake embossing folder

Challenges:

Boys Card

Sometimes you just regret not buying a stamp and this is one of those times - fortunately my friend was not so restrained. I've stamped it on Kraft and just highlighted some bits with sakura pens.

EDIT: I've had a couple of queries about the stamp it's by Magenta and according to Google is called sail away trio

Challenges:
365 cards
Loves Rubber Stamps
Here Come the Boys
Cards and More
Shopping Our Stash - I've used an odd strip of mirror card, an offcut of card and the paper is a left over bit from *cough* years ago

Cute Little Rabbit

I'm a huge fan of the stampfairy although I don't use her images as often as I would like and found this cutie printed off in a pile of neglected digis. Sorry for the rubbish photos it's been so dark here recently but I now have a cunningly constructed light box type thing :0)

Challenges:
Creative Craft Crew
Digital Tuesday
Partytime Tuesday

Teddy Bo Tuesday

Team B are in charge over at Teddy Bo for our anything goes challenge this time so I found this card that I hadn't posted that was made with a vintage Fairy Doodler design (you can use those to enter as well).

We also have the last new release for the year as we're all really busy with the big "C" word and the boss has something new up her sleeve for the New Year

Owl wish you a Happy Birthday

Sorry for the rubbish photo but it's just one of those cards that hates the camera again. After 8 shots this was the best one and he needed to get in the post.
I would like to enter him into:
