Crafty Catz challenge - ATG with optional CAS

Good morning and Happy Black Friday. Have you bought anything nice in the sales. Here in the Uk we have had them for at least a week and now it is the big day alot are already sold out.

I got the odd thing for Christmas presents but nothing Crafty.

Well back to my post. As it is Friday then I am bring you my DT post for Crafty catz and this weeks host is Christine. Now Christine has made it kind of easy for you. CAS now I struggle with this and I guess it depends on what you call CAS if you like to add lots of embellishments and layers then I guess a single layer maybe the think and no embellishments.

Well I dont think managed it but is is a flat card and has very little so fingers crossed I wont get put on the Naughty Step and Santa will come and visit me.

Our sponsor for this challenge is

ALL DRESSED UP

and 

CRAFTY RIBBONS

I have used a image called Santa from All Dressed Up

Image coloured with Promarkers

DP is a mixture of making Memories and a un named 12x12 pack

Stitched square die

fussy cut Santa and placed on DP

a touch of ribbon and a few gems (oops sorry not CAS)

Now it is your turn pop over to the challenge blog and checkout the teams makes.

Hi and welcome today i am bring you my Dt card for CRAFTY CATZ.

This weeks host is the lovely Talented Chris and she has picked our optional twist

SPOTs & or STRIPES

dont fancy that then ANYTHING GOES at Crafty Catz

Our fabulous sponsor this week is

LeAnne's World 101

We got to play with some of their images and I have used a image I had on File yes sorry another Christmas card. Are you all done with your cards yet. I really must start writing them I know I keep saying then at least i will know how many I still have to make.

So here is my card featuring

 Kandi Kane

I have made her into a little Christmas helper with her elf Green outfit.

I have gone with Stripes but the DP with the trees on has spots and also my tree has different coloured round Spot pearls. The Candy Cane has Stripes and so does her stockings so thinking I have comepleted the twist for this week.

The Tree I found in a box of diecuts that I placed diecuts that I had been sent from friends when we used to do card swops. I had forgotten about the box untill I did a sort of my off cut box/ boxes.

Ribbon I think is from Crafty Ribbons and all dp are from stash various old supplies.

Yes so far if you dont count buying images I have kept to no spend November. Wonder if I can continue it till Christmas. Then maybe a treat for the new year.

Well enough rambling pop over tot the challenge blog and checkout the teams amazing creations.
