Well, I've been dying for this day to come around (and been a bit nervous I admit). Its been so hard not to share with you all that I'm the Winnie and Walter Leading Lady for December!!!!
I still can't believe it and keep pinching myself to see if I'm dreaming or not. And what a way to end the year, especially amongst all the drama of our recent earthquakes. Thank you so much Shay for taking a chance on me and giving me this opportunity!!
Here is one of the cards I have in my post on the Winnie and Walter blog. To find out how I put it together and see my other three cards, pop over to the blog for the details.
I'm also very excited that I get to giveaway a $30 Winnie and Walter Gift Voucher. Please leave a comment on this blog post and the four other Leading Lady posts on my blog, each Saturday this month. I will randomly pick someone from all of the comments and contact them so they can go shopping. Good Luck!!
I really hope you enjoy all the cards I've created and there are five Saturdays in December so you will be sick of me by the end of the month!! I hope you will follow along with my W&W adventure and see you next Saturday with more Winnie and Walter goodness!
Take care

I know the title of this post doesn't give much away (its not supposed too....) but I wanted to let you know that there is something rather fabulous happening over at the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog and I suggest you go and have a look!!!
Its all very hush-hush and I'm not allowed to even give you a hint. I can though give you a sneaky peek of my card, which you'll see on the blog:
So what are you waiting for???? Rush over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog to see whats going on!!

Hi everyone! I can't believe its the first of December already, I'm so not prepared for Christmas, feels like I just got over last Christmas!! And I still haven't made enough Christmas cards, so the current Time Out Challenge is oh so handy to build up my stash!! The theme for this challenge is:
CHRISTMAS with optional twist of shimmer/glitter
I think Christmas cards and glitter go together like coffee and cake, so I was more than happy to create for this one. And I can see that many of you have felt the same way as the Gallery is packed with glittery goodness!!
We are very lucky to have Uniko as the Sponsor of this challenge and they will give a gift voucher to a randomly picked 'twister'. Lucky them!!
I couldn't wait to get out my glitter paper for this one and felt that some die-cutting was in order:
I realised that I had a whole lot of small pieces of glitter paper, so decided to cut them into strips and adhere them to a scrap piece of white CS. This way I could die-cut the tree design without the strips coming apart. I used a wavy-stitched die to cut a panel of white CS and stamped the sentiment in grey. A piece of silver glitter paper was adhered to the card front, with the white panel glued over-top. All I had to do then was pop the tree's up on foam tape and add some sequins.
I really liked the design and decided to make some pink tree's as well. I'm trying to take a leaf out of Jennifer McGuire's book and make at least two cards when coming up with one design. It's not as hard as what I thought as you already have everything out you need, so will see how long I can keep it up!!
The pink, blue and green glitter paper is from DCWV 'Glitzy Pastels Stack'. The silver glitter paper is from American Crafts. The tree die is from Memory Box 'Pine Trio' and unfortunately I don't know where the stitched hill die is from. The sentiment is from Ellen Hutson 'Mistletoe and Holly' and the sequins from Neat and Tangled.
I'm going to link this card to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge where their theme is 'O Christmas Tree'.
Will also link to the Uniko Studio November Challenge where their theme is:
You have one more week to link your projects to the TIME OUT Challenge and for any help with ideas, pop over to the blog to see what the rest of the Design Team and our fabulous Guest Designer Valentyna have created for you. Can't wait to see you in the Gallery!!
Take care
Shona
