This week at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge we are looking for a Christmas project featuring Santa Claus. I used an SVG file from my favourite SVG company, Dreaming Tree and this design is currently available for free. It is called Santa Wine Bottle Wrapper. It comes with a fabulous how-to video.

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge March 2020

This challenge runs for the month of March. The Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge Design Team is looking for a card or project that uses Patterned Papers. I tend to buy all kinds of patterned papers and hoard them. This challenge makes me look through my stash and come up with ways to use them. For this challenge, I purchased one of the latest SVG designs from Dreaming Tree called, "Le Chapeau Bundle". The bundle includes 3 hatted ladies plus a free lady tag. They are gorgeous. I started with one but will make all 4 by the end of the month. If you want to see them refer back to my blog. I used patterned papers for the har, flower, palm trees, and hair. Because there was enough pattern to the hair I added extra colours with Copic markers. I made the SVG with my Cricut Explore Air. 

This is my second card fromthe bundle called Juliette
