Dig Choosday Challenge – Week 47: Christmas Celebrations!

Hello, how are things?

It’s Choosday so we have another challenge over at Digi Choosday and our theme this week is Christmas Celebrations!  As usual there is a fab prize up for grabs so check out the blog for details.

For my card this week I once again used some of the gorgeous papers and elements from the can’t-live-without-it Work & Play 5 – Festive Hollybobs Full Collection!!!

So what do Christmas Celebrations mean to me? Well family of course! Parties, of course and skating parties definately………..
……OK so that’s not true! I don’t skate! I don’t see the logic in standing on an unbelievably slippery surface balancing on a blade less than an inch thick!! Falling over will be involved here, people! I know I’ve tried it! And then there’s the spinning and the one legged acrobatics!!! It’s a Health & Safety nightmare! Graceful yes!  Beautiful yes! Utterly bonkers?! Definitely!! J

And breathe…..

……Anyhoo unnecessary anti-skating rant over I wanted to use the totally adorable and completely competent Hollybobs Skater on my design and made an easel card as a platform for my ‘rink’!
And here is why I adore digis! I printed Hollybobs Skater 3 times, shrinking 2 and flipping 1. Versatility-tastic!!

Ingredients:
Image: Hollybobs Skater
All Digital Elements/Papers: Work & Play 5 – Festive Hollybobs Full Collection!
Dies: Couture ‘Winter Flurries’
Other Card: Neenah Solar White – Centura Pearl
Colouring/Ink: Spectrum Noir markers & pencils
Others: Stickles - Gems

So glide over (no slipping and falling please) to the blog to see the amazing Christmas Celebrations inspiration created by my uber talented teamies and join in with this fab challenge! And don’t forget to check out Nikky’s scrummy designs in the shop!

Thanks so much for looking (and not falling over), and have a great day!
See ya!

Colourful hugs
Jane xxx

    You know, I used to go skating all the time as a teen. LOVED it. Did sponsored events every year where people would sponsor me per lap for various charities... Made a killing because I refused to get off the ice for hours! lol. Was never one for figure skating though... Speed skating is maybe less graceful, but also less of a H & S hazard... (and far more lucrative, lol).

    Either way, LOVE your card! And that street lamp in the background is a perfect touch. x

    I agree with you Jane about the utterly bonkers sport of skating but how talented and fearless are the competitors? Love your card and the use of the digi image by flipping it.
