A stary Christmas - #MOJO421

Today's card uses the non-traditional colours of black, white and silver.

One of the images I think of when I think of Christmas is stars. So I carried this star theme throughout my card.

The small banner on the front is out of Whisper White and stamped using the stars from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set in memento black. The white piece of card on the front was stamped with a sentiment, then embossed using the lucky stars embossing folder.

My inspiration for my card today came from this week's Mojo Monday sketch.

I hope you like my card for today. If you would like to follow my blog feel free to subscribe and you will receive an email each time I post.

Congratulations On Your Engagement!

Not so long ago we had some wonderful news, my nephew Andrew got engaged to the lovely Laura. Now I wanted something elegant but simple, so instantly black and white came to mind. 

I needed to leave heaps of room to write, so just added a little something to one corner.

Mojo Monday MOJO410

Not enough time in the day and sometimes not enough inspiration while we have time. There is a solution for this - challenges!

Today I have taken the sketch for this week's Mojo Monday challenge to produce my card.

In fact I liked this card so much that I used it  for my classes this week. Once again I have stuck with my all time favourite colour combination- black and white.

I love the stamp set "Lovely as a tree". I find it can be used for so many different occasions, which is what I love.

Thanks for visiting. If you get a chance, take a look at the Mojo Monday blog and see all the different creations that have been inspired by this week's sketch.

Crazy Crafters December Blog Hop

Thank you for joining me for our December Blog Hop. This month we are showcasing projects using Designer Series Paper, or DSP as it is also known.

I love DSP as many of them are so pretty. I'm very good at buying them, but not so great at using them. So for me this month's theme has been a challenge, pushing me outside my comfort zone. I'm hoping this will mean that I will start to incorporate DSP into my natural crafting. It will certainly help when I browse through the other blogs in the hop.

I decided that I would make a box with a matching card using both sides of a sheet of DSP from the Back to Black set, which is in the current annual catalogue. I even created my own embellishment using the paper and a simple floral black button from the neutrals button collection from the same catalogue.

Thank you for joining us on the Crazy Crafter Blog Hop. I hope you enjoy the rest of your journey.
