Challenge #5 for Get Creative Challenges

Well, I'm a bit late posting. It's hubby's birthday tomorrow and he wanted all the family and a few friends to get together for a barbeque and to watch a live music radio broadcast. It finished about 30 mins ago and we've just finished unpacking the table and chairs and the remains of the food. I made a couple of salads and my famous baked pumpkin cheescake which went down well. Cheese and crackers and a dip to finish off whilst watching the various acts and I think all have gone home happy. I even got to snuggle with one of our cute little granddaughters during the night, so I'm happy too, lol.
Also I noticed I have a couple of new followers, thanks for joining and I hope to see you calling in from time to time. 
Now onto the reason for my post tonight and that is to share my DT card for the new challenge starting today at Get Creative Challenges.

Challenge #104 at 613 Avenue Create Challenges

Hi everyone, sorry I've been missing in action but have had a couple of weeks feeling pretty low with bad headaches & nausea as well as tooth problems! It's not been much fun. I'm finally headache free and had an enjoyable Christmas get together with family members here at home. We had 22 here at dinner time and then six at tea time. I hope you all had a wonderful time. It's hubby's birthday tomorrow so the family are getting together for a simple barbeque and then watching a live radio station music programme called the Hillbilly Hooters. Hope everyone enjoys it and they have some good acts. Most of the time they are quite good but occassionally there are one or two not so good ones, lol.
My card for today is my very last Christmas card for 2014 and is for the new challenge starting at 613 Avenue Create. It's an Anything Goes Challenge with No Twist this time. Our sponsors are Melonheadz and QKR Stampede. My cute little elf comes from Melonheadz and is a part of a bundle.

Christmas Greetings from Down Under - Challenge #41 at Completely Christmas

It's been a busy day today with grandchildren arriving to stay overnight, a craft breakup party (with crafting too, lol) I had to do some shopping to buy ingredients for zucchini slice for tomorrow's church choir Christmas luncheon. I will be glad to sit down and relax after the kids go to bed!
This week at Completely Christmas our challenge is as usual Anything Goes and the twist this week is to add some Holly.
Our sponsor is Lacy Sunshine and I had recently purchased a few digis so decided to go with a non-christmas image to make a card to send overseas. Thus the title of my post......Christmas Greetings from Down Under and my image is appropriate as she is called Kenna, Aussie Girl. I coloured her clothes in Khaki and Denim with some red and green thrown in to represent Christmas. Hope you like her and her little Koala friend.
Here is my card......


 Here's a second picture, was trying to be arty with some of the garden in the background, but the word "Christmas" doesn't show up so thought I had better go with the scanned pic for the challenge blog.
The colours show up a bit lighter too- the top pic is more correct.

Recipe:
Cream Shimmery cardstock from Kaszzaz
Green card stock from stash
DP was also from Kaszzaz
Image is from Lacy Sunshine - Kenna Aussie Girl
Holly is from a freebie set of stamps
Copic Markers
D/S tape roller
Foam Dots

My teamies and I would love it if you popped in and left us a comment and we are looking forward to checking out your entries on the challenge blog. I'd better go and check on these grandchildren, lol and start thinking about what I am going to feed them.
Thanks for stopping by,
