Anything but a square card and Christmas!

Good morning everyone, I'm here with a post for 2 blogs today, but only one make to cover both. I very rarely do this but needs must this week I'm afraid. Our poor little Nico was taken in hospital last Saturday night very ill and was placed in quarantine. The poor little mite had days of blood tests and scans to endure to try to find out what was wrong with him. Alas no definite reason was given other than an infection which caused problems with his white blood cells and Lymph nodes. So we have all had a few sleepless nights and no concentration whatsoever! I have tried crafting but everything ended up in the bin, hence to one make for 2 blogs. Thankfully he was allowed home last night and seems to be picking up, his neck is still really swollen though bless him.
Anyhoo here is my make!
It is for the Polkadoodles blog where the challenge is Anything but a square card and the Doobadoo challenge which starts on Sunday and is Christmas.

The image is from the Work & Play Festive Hollybobs CD as are the papers. The collection is also available as an instant download too! She is coloured with my Graph'It Markers. The shape of the card is cut using the Dutch Doobadoo shape art square 15x15cm.
All the dies are from Tattered Lace.

Good morning blogland, I hope you are all well. I'm here today with my DT make for We Do Doobadoo. The theme this time is Pins and Pearls and here is my make.

 For the card base I used the cream Centura Pearl card and used the Dutch Doobadoo Chicken Wire mask to emboss the card. I then cut out some layered shapes using some of my dies (Spellbinders) and used a distress ink around the edges of everything. I then tore a small piece of  the Dutch Doobadoo Honeycomb Softboard laser Art to the corner and ribbon strip and bow. Finally I added the hat pins and all the pearls.

Ribbons

Happy weekend everyone, I hope you are enjoying some lovely sunshine where ever you are.
