Hello crafty beings!! I have some cards for you today, that will probably be the last until next year (maybe), some of which are for some last minute challenges and others are just for my 'stash'. I know you are all extremely busy at this time of year, but I just wanted to thank you all for following me, supporting me, and inspiring me throughout 2015. Without all of you, my fabulous blog friends and your continued inspiration my card making would have probably stagnated, instead - I think - it has grown and blossomed. So, thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can't wait to see what you all create in 2016!
Without further ado and no more 'waffling', here are the last of my cards.
First up is another card for the Freshly Made Sketches #217 - A Sketch by Linda
It is the 'negative' of the first one I made for this challenge. I am also entering it in the Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge 'Favourite Technique', because my favourite technique of late has been 'negative die cutting'
The next card is made from 'snippets' laying around on my desk and getting in the way. The snippets are, the striped piece that was made using black sparkle gel through a striped stencil and a flower that I had punched out quite a while ago, and I am going to enter that into Pixie's Playground I'm ashamed to say that I keep forgetting about this fun challenge and have neglected it during 2015. Sorry Di, I will try to do better in 2016!
Finally, the last two cards are just for my stash for next year - I'm determined not to be so behind next year - a couple of New Years resolutions in there somewhere!
There you have it my wonderful, wonderful friends, all that is left is for me to say is , have a truly magical Christmas wherever you are and whatever you do and I can't wait to see you all over in 2016!
Thanks for taking time out of your busy lives to visit! Hazel xx

Your cards are gorgeous! Looking forward to your 2016 creations!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wealth of very different & lovely designs on each of these fab cards. Loved each one of them, and I'm looking forward to more of our 'crafty chat' in 2016. I've appreciated YOUR support & encouragement as we've gotten to 'know' each other, and hope we can inspire each other to be more organized in 2016. So happy to see you went over to the Playground, but watch out, I hear the Elves are up to some naughty high jinx...which regretfully I didn't have time to join in. I need to do better with visiting Miss & Parsnip in 2016 as well. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and prayers that 2016 will bring all that you desire. TFS & Hugs.
