Catch Up

You might notice that in yesterday's post, I said it was going to be a catch up post, well, after all the waffling I did I though that I would keep yesterday's post to just the card for the Cards for Men 2nd Challenge, so here is the rest of the stuff I made over Christmas.
As always, click on the images to enlarge.

Firstly is a cheque/money holder I made for our nephew, James.

The front.

Inside, complete with moolah.

And the back.
See the recipe at the bottom of the post.

Two tags that I made using one of 'The Snowman' stamps that I got for Christmas (early).

A faerie christmas tag. I made a few of these for my own pressies lol
There was loads more tags, and a really nice one using another 'The Snowman' stamp and sentiment, but I forgot to take a picture of it lol I'll have a look through my scrap box later to see if I remembered to save them!

And finally, a cheque/money holder that I made for my brother, which I haven't even mailed out yet!! Sorry Steven, it will be in the post soon, I promise!

The front. Love this digital stamp!

The middle, complete with cheque.

And the back.

You might not be able to tell but that little lighter colour on his nose is dusky pink! Also I coloured him in twice and popped him up onto foam pads to make him stand out some more!
It looks a lot better in real life!
