October Theme Challenge

 Hello, Christmas lovers and cardmakers!

There are less than 70 days until Christmas.
And I already welcome you to the third challenge of October on 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. 
Valentina B here with you again today.

What is the best gift you can receive in the mail? 
Happy mail in the mailbox with a handmade greeting card, right?
It's like a big hug in an envelope.

For the theme challenge I picked the Christmas Mailbox.
I love sending and receiving Christmas cards and I hope you too.

Let there be Christmas Mailbox on your holiday card as we continue the countdown to Christmas.
I hope that you will have fun creating with the theme that I picked.

We can't wait to see you interpret the theme with your style
and we're looking forward to all the beautiful cards you'll share with us!

October Colour Challenge

  Hello, Christmas lovers and cardmakers!

Autumn is in full swing. This means that the days are getting shorter and
the rainy weather also help us to enjoy more time to craft.

Did you know that is only 10 Fridays until Christmas?
I welcome you to the second challenge of October.
Valentina B here with you again.

For this challenge I picked autumn colour with a twist of Christmas.
I smell the pine tree in sage green, the cinnamon in pretty brown and
mulled wine in dark red wine colour.

How about you? What does the colours remind you of?
I hope you will find time, a lot of inspiration here and that you'll enjoy playing along with us.

We can't wait to see you interpret these colours
and we're looking forward to all the beautiful cards you'll share with us!
