B = Buttons

Here are my gnomes. The first is a bit shaky, but after some very useful tips from Carole I managed to do more decent one! The second one is in the colors for 2021 and I see now the dropshadow on the hat should be under the pompom.

Annie, lovely work with such "dull" colors and still so X-massy in style! You are so creative!  Love it.

A = Another snowman or snowgirl to keep him company

W = Wobbly , because they never stand straight

I have all my holidaycards ready for posting tomorrow and was able to finally finish my snowman LO. I almost forgot I had him waiting. So I made something with a lot of separat elements. The garland with icicals was a freebie from Carole, just as the angels and the speechbubble. The background paper is from a christmas kit  by Marissa Lerin  at Pixelscrappers that I adapted somewhat. The photo under the mask is my own, it is the big tree on the marketplace where I live. This was just fun to create.

 

 

 

 

Annie, you had a lot of work to do on this delightful LO! We are all so far apart from each other and we all know the same songs; it's a small world after all and somehow connected.

T = Top Hat

Annie, thank you. Our climate in the Netherlands is very moderate with once in a while some snow but mostly windy and rainy in winter. When I was young it was colder than now with the climate change.  In those days we had natural ice and could go skating on inundated land, canals, lakes. Now you have to go to an icerink! But every year comes the question will we get a white christmas? The answer tends to be no!

P = Pole, that snowman need something to lean on!

P = Pole, those snowman need something to lean on!

Finally I have something to show for the Christmas Song Challenge. Because I'm late making my holidaycards I made a card that I can print as a double card. Here I'm only showing the front, as the backside is mostly white with only my logo on it. The song I thought of at once is "Silver Bells" . This one is a old one and performed by many singers in many different settings/films. Now I have to print and post my cards, luckely most are here inland. The ones that had to go to the States are posted weeks ago and then you have to hope they arrive in time!

Hi,  1,4,5 and 6 worked for me. By 5 and 6 from GD I get to see the files and can then use the GD download button, just as in the email you send me. I'm on Windows 10 with the latest updates installed and on Chrome browser.

 

If you want me to test more I'm more then happy to do so. Ofcourse we have a time difference of 6 hours, so my answers may come a little bit later.

 

I looked at the results from the others and there does not seem an obvious denominator between us.

 

Good luck!

Thank you ladies. When I'm need of a specific element/paper and I don't have the time to make it myself or when I cann't  I always turn to pixelscrappers.

H = Handkerchief

Okay, it is december by now, but I started this one in november . It is a quicky because I used a template from PixelScrapers but left out some of the papers and elements. The papers are from the Fire-and-Ice -kit I have just as the other elements. I did not make anything myself, not enough free time left.   Nice to do for a change between all the christmassy cards etc. I like these scavanger hunts. Now back to the Xmas LO's.

Thank you Annie, the subway art is lovely, do give it another try. I'll certainly will over the next month, its also great for birthdays etc, You can make it so personal for the recipient of the card. I'm also working on the scavanger hunt at the moment.

 

Michelle, I like your background made from that gorgious dress, it looks very much like a painting from Monet.

Thanks Annie, I'll try but scrapping is also taking my mind of the problems at home and do something I like! Your Safari page is great and so much work to in making. Michele what a lovely silver LO. It is amazing to see what everybody is doing with Sue Thomas's idea!

 

I gave the Subway Art a try with a Christmas theme.

Annie, Thanks and he is back home, but it will take him quit some time to recover! But it is giving me at least more time to do the things I like. When I'm scrapping or just looking here at all those lovely LO, I'm nearby if he needs me to help him with something and it gives me some distraction from the whole situation. But it will be okay in the end!

M = Madeira wine

I was already trying to make a christmas card "stealing" the idea of Sue Thomas with a triple. It's only now that I have the time to finish it. For those who know: my husband is home at last after 13 days in hospital but it will take him a while to recover. As I don't have to go to that hospital every day  any more, I will get a little more time to scrap. Because of the Covid-19 he could have only 1 visitor per day and preferably the same person!  The photo is one I got from a friend  to use. The corner elements are dingbats, after that masterclass this is the first time I used them.

K = Kirsch, a liqueur made from cherries and often used in cocktails

Cristina and Lynda thank you for your best wishes. It helps to know there are people who care! Corrie

 

 

B = Baileys Irish Cream, an Irish liquer with wiskey and cream 17%

Z = Zero Coke
