MTTC Challenge #163 - Quite White

The new theme on My Time To Craft this week is Quite White - to have lots of white space.  I actually find this quite difficult as I like to fill in all the gaps, especially when I am scrapbooking!  However for my DT work I made a simple Christmas card using an image I've had for a few years now and haven't used for a while, so I got it out and made this simple card with lots of white space!

I am also entering this for
Crafty Ann's Challenge - Clean and Simple
Crafty Sentiments - No DP

For my DT work I altered a beermat, and kept it quite simple using a poppy image from some lovely NRN papers I have had for years, and the sentiment is from a See D's set, also had for years!

MTTC Challenge #162 - Punches and Dies

The new theme on My Time To Craft is Punches and Dies - to use either or both.  For my DT work I altered another beermat - I think I've forgotten how to make cards!  I used some bp with a printed image and edged it with Stickles.  I punched some butterflies and a pretty border using Martha Stewart punches and added a Tim Holtz doodad and gems to finish.
