Well they said that this week's challenge on Bah! Humbug! was different..they were certainly right about that. Not having any paper doilies in my possession I knew this was not going to be straightforward. Yesterday lunchtime I walked into town from work, to see if I could find any doilies and was not lucky. However mentioning the word to mum last night she immediately produced a selection - one of which is now on my table. It is flowery rather than christmassy, so at the moment several options are being considered.
I got a parcel of goodies this morning , including a cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder - I would like to be able to think of a card that uses it.

A bit of a challenge this week - one challenge wants red used & one doesn't.
Solution = two cards :)
Here is the first card I finished this weekend - spot the Doily :)
I used Crafter's Companion Adorables CD. I printed out three sheets from the image page,used one as the base and & cut out elements from the other two sheets, & decoupaged the image adding the doily instead of one layer.
There is a stamp of this image, but it is not one that I have.
I would like to enter this one in the Bah! Humbug Challenge 6 - Doilies
and Christmas Cards All Year 'Round - use some red
The second card is also for the Bah! Humbug Challenge
and also for Jingle Belles - "no red, she said!"

Lucky your Mum had some, I'm off shopping later to see what I can find. Good luck x
Love those fun doily corners with the gorgeous ornaments ... what an elegant holiday design ... thanks so much for joining our jingle belles fun.
oh my goodness Janet your use of doilies has astounded me. I can't get over the choir boy's ourfit - that is just so clever.
I also love your clever positioning of doilies on your bauble card. It looks very pretty and brings focus on the doilies.
