I can't believe that we have got to the fourth week of my GDT spot at Lasting Memories. It really has gone quickly. This week the challenge is called Pumpkin Spice. We want to see pumpkins of course and some glitter to represent the spice. It's on the pumpkins although it doesn't show up.

Christmas Birds
When Penny Black produced the stamp Ode to Christmas I thought it was lovely and had to have it. However I've only used it a couple of times as I found it just very difficult to get a good image.

OLC Christmas
This has to be one of the simplest cards I've ever made! I used a very old long slim card blank from my stash. I still have quite a lot from my very early crafting days! They are all coloured and pearlescent, so never quite know what to do with them, hence the reason they are still at the bottom of my card blank box.

Embossed Christmas Tree
Well this card for CAS Mix Up was as difficult to make as my last two! I have never been successful embossing with dies as the card has always cut in places. This time was no exception with my Grand Caliber. So I dug out my Big Shot which I rarely use and it worked a dream.
I nked the die with Versamark so that I could add colour as well. I wish I'd gone with gold embossing powder now instead of green.

Trees for Twofer
The Twofer challenge this month is Trees. I have lots of tree stamps in my stash so this should be easy - wrong! If I used a pine tree I couldn't see past a Christmas card . If I used any other sort of tree both designs turned out much the same. My mojo has defintely taken a bit of a long hike.
In the end I used one of the trees from a HLS set Christmas Joy. I stamped thtree three times with Versamark and heat embossed in red sparkle on a piece of alcohol inked card. Of course I forgot to use talc on it so embossing powder stuck everywhere! I brushed most of it off but couldn't get inside the trees so made a feature of it by adding some more, and then some stickles.
