DCM - Santa's Little Extra Helper No 7

Well, well, well, I must have psychic tendencies as I made this card last night then read the DCM Little Extra today:

It's Tuesday again so we have a midweek challenge for you to play with. Santa's Little Helper this week is themed "Buttons and Bows"Just in case you're one of those super-efficient types who've made all the cards they need already, you can still join in with a non-Christmas card for this one.I made this for someone at work to give to his daughter and boyfriend. I've got another 4 cards to make for him, so need to get a wriggle on. Diecuts are Sizzix, Quickutz and a mistletoe one I got in a swap. Font is Chopin Script. Tree brad and gold bow were just stuff I had lying around. Papers are from the English Paper Company - hope it's not cheating to use printed buttons & ribbon.

Thanks for looking.

DCM Little Extra - We've got your Number

Finally managed to get round to the Daring Cardmakers Litte Extra this week.

• Here's the brief: This week we have a numerical Little Extra challenge for you:
  "We've Got Your Number"
  Numbers and Fun? Those two words don't often appear in the same sentence, do they?Well, we'd like you to have some fun with numbers and put a numeral on your card - it's as easy as that

I made this one especially for the challenge, although it is a style I do pretty regularly:

First time I've used my MM Boho Chic Olivia papers. I feel it's still lacking something, but I'll personalise it when I need to use it, then it should be ok. Letter were just printed in word onto white paper, then I cut them out and drew round them onto the MM paper.

Thanks for looking.
