November Cyber Crop

This month we're giving you the opportunity to get some of your Christmas cards made during the Cybercrop. It's all about mail: cards, letters, postmarks, envelopes, stamps, postcards and pretty packages tied up in string.... these are a few of my favourite things! :-) 

Of course all our challenges are suitable for layouts as well, you don't have to do just cards.

This is our last Cyber Crop for the year, so I hope you can all join in and make it our best one!

Challenge 1 - Sketch 

I have a sketch for you, I've designed this with either a card or a layout in mind.  If you're using this sketch for cards, please make a set of 3.... and if your doing a layout, you can add 2 embellishment clusters, and adjust the balance and measurements to suit your page size... as long as the over all sketch can be seen in your work.

Here's my examples.  I've used the lovely Kaisercraft Christmas Edition range for both my card and my layout.

I love this range as it doesn't compete with my photos.  I've done both, cards and a layout... which I've turned into a double.  See my blog for more details.

And I've decorated the envelops with some left over PP.

Challenge 2 - Use an envelope, stamp and a tag.

Again this challenge can be used for either card or layouts.

If you are making cards (set of 3 please) , I would love to see a decorated envelope to match your card.

If you are doing a layout, please add a envelope, a stamp and tag to your page.

Here's my page, another Christmas page from last year, my stamp is a real postage stamp, I've made a little envelope to pop some journalling in.

Again I've used the Kaisercraft Christmas Edition range found in store here - Christmas Edition  with Bazzill Bling cardstock - Blank Check, which I think goes so lovely with Christmas photos, it's soft golden shimmer is perfect!
