A Joyful FUSION Christmas

Is it just me or is Christmas arriving faster every year?!? Whatever the case may be, it's good to be able to stop a while and catch your breath. While you do I hope you get a chance to join in the fun @ FUSION this fortnight. This gorgeous sketch and super cute Christmas photo inspiration are a great excuse to add to your Christmas card stash!

I had a play with paper piecing this Winnie and Walter owl duo in woodgrain, adding a Christmas pinecone branch and JOYful sentiment to match.

Hop along to the FUSION challenge to check out some more fabulous inspiration from the FUSION design team, and spread a little love in the gallery.

FUSION - Gratitude

Have you seen a missing week - I hope you have because I lost one! Sat down to do this fortnights FUSION card and realised that somewhere between last fortnight and this, I lost a week! May have something to do with hubby's new job, daughters final exams at highschool and sons birthday perhaps! Regardless, here is my card for this fortnight's FUSION. I do hope you can play along!

Taking inspiration from this super versatile sketch and gorgeous inspiration photo this week, I re-purposed some background paper I had originally created for my last FUSION card to cut out some more gorgeous Autumn leaves from Lawn Fawn Stitched Leaves set to create an Autumn wreath. This is paried with a gorgeous Sweet Stamp Shop stamped greeting and Winnie and Walter diecut Thanks atop some super cute patterned paper from my stash.

Hop along to the FUSION site to play along, and while you are there make sure you check out some more fabulous inspiration from the FUSION Design Team...
