Day 27 - "X"

It's "X" day, and thankfully for me I have a ready stash of XPress It blending card just waiting to be coloured. Arguably "X" is the most difficult letter of the alphabet as far as our challenge goes, but over the years I've seen some really great ideas. Feel free to interpret this letter as loosely as you like, and do let me know if you can think of any other words we can add to the list. 


YOUR TURN: Create a card using the letter "X" as your prompt.

INSPIRATION WORDS:
X-Press It blending card, Xmas, xyron, XOXO, X-tra

Stamps:
Grumpy Goose

Beccy - you forgot your wonderful card fold - X-Fold. I'm certainly going to be using it.

Suze said...

Oh - and xylophone (I have seen some in christmas images before)

He's a feisty little goose that one.... How can he be so grumpy about Christmas? Doesn't he know it's the 'Most Wonderful Time of The Year'?

Sarah said...

He really is adorable with his little attitude going on. He is just grumpy on the outside. On the inside he loves Christmas and everything about it he just doesn’t want anyone else to know that. Great card Beccy.

Great image and card...maybe the goose is frustrated because it's almost the end of November challenge and knows that some people cooks goose for Christmas...
Well done Beccy.

He's so cute, Beccy! I guess he's thinking Bah, Humbug! Beautiful colouring and I like your soft colours!

I love the paper and colors! He reminds me of my husband at Christmas, all grumpy on the outside and all mushy on the inside.

I love Grumpy Goose! He's great. He could be grumpy because he might possibly be the Christmas goose. Egads!

Liz said...

Brilliant card, Beccy! I love the goose and with an expression like that, I don't think anyone would dare turn him Into a Christmas dinner!!

Love the look on his face... Too cute Beccy... I feel like he's looking at me and knows I've started my Black Friday shopping... hehehe

X-tremely wonderful card Beccy!
The image is a perfect contrast to the pretty papers and bling - LOVE IT!
I bought the Grumpy Goose the other day thinking he would become my "Naughty or Nice" card for "N" but my alphabet is all mixed up now, busy with a gnome in a teepee at the moment, sure hope daylight savings will work in my favour and give me more creative time to catch up :)

PS - X-Press It works for me, I might have to use that instead of the X-fold card waiting on my to-do list

I love your goose images. They have just the greatest facial expressions. I tend to use the same idea for X each year. I'll have to give it some thought over the next year to see if I can come up with something else. Love the simplicity of your card!

I love Grumpy Goose! On this card, he's fantastic, Beccy. So glad to read the part about "interpret this letter...loosely..." because that's Xactly what I had to do. lol

I asked today about X-Press It blending paper in a special store, but they did not know about it. For me is a new subject to explore.
Anyway, your card is very very cute.
... Maybe xylophone?
All the best, Beccy! I go to do my homework for letter X! :)
Cheers!
