A Touch of Christmas #17

Week #17 of my A Touch of Christmas! I had this little cutie by Elisabeth Bell colored when I colored the same image a few months ago, and couldn't resist using her. She's from Belles 'n Whistles from one of the lovely Christmas sets.

Something I've been reminded of lately is that I should work on some cards being easier to mail, so this is a nice simple one with no embellishments (not an easy thing for me...at all).

I'm entering my little Christmas cutie into these challenges:
Picture Perfect Creations #10 - Certainly Celery, Bordering Blue, Real Red, Crushed Curry
Crazy 4 Challenges #34 - Theme: Case It! I chose Silke's pretty card for the colors.
Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturday #37 - Theme: Girly

A Touch of Christmas #10

A Touch of Christmas, week 10! The weeks are just flying by and it will be Christmas again in no time. I'm having a great time crafting the projects that will make this year's holiday season much more relaxed for me. (alright, maybe not relaxed...but my cards will be done!) Now if I could just stick to making more of those gift tags I would be doing great!

I'm entering this card into a few challenges:
Stamp, Scrap and Doodle #30: Open Challenge
Sketchy Colors #14: Sketch
Curtain Call #20: Color Challenge

This week I used an adorable skater from the Go Figure set by Whimsie Doodles. Isn't she adorable? I was so lucky in winning the random drawing at Saturday Spotlight last week, and just had to use one of the pretty digi stamps I chose. She's colored with Copic markers with Spica, and Clearstar accents. I've added some Flower Soft on her coat, a Prima flower, punched leaves, a bit of ribbon, and beads on a pin.

Dance the Night Away...

This was made with another set from MFT stamps, Dance the Night Away. Her skirt is paper pieced, and the top is covered in black glitter. The papers are from Bo Bunny and Cor'dinations, the pearls are by Kaisercraft, the image is colored with Copic, and the little leaves are an EK punch.

This card fits with the following challenges:
Friday Sketchers #91 - Sketch (rotated)
The Play Date Cafe #18: Color Splash Challenge (Black, White, and teal)
Stamp, Scrap, and Doodle # 29: Sparkle and Shine (Glitter Top)

Glamour

This little cutie is Glamour, she's one of the new Cheeky Cherry gals from The Greeting Farm. I colored her (with Copic Sketch, Creative Inspirations, and Smooch) and then matched up the papers (using Bo Bunny and Core'dinations), and accents (with Maya Road Ticket stamp, Prima flowers, Kaisercraft Pearls, Blue Moon Charm, Beads, Mini Clothespin).  I've missed creating cards that way!

This card fits in with a few challenge themes:
Anyone for Anya? - I used a new image
Cute Card Thursday #100 - I used a charm and pin for 'Metal Mania'
Stamp, Scrap & Doodle #28 - I used a charm
Allsorts Challenge #40 - I used a 'Ticket'

The 'weekend crew' with Danni had a ribbon theme this weekend, I was able to use some! (and really need to use them more often!)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

50's Sweetheart

A sweet digi I just had to try out from The Greeting Farm! I started out using some scraps for the green lines and flower, and then realized I needed a larger piece for the background. I'm sure the other ladies did much better than I did using my scraps this weekend. This card actually fit into several challenges, which was really fun.

Crazy 4 Challenges #23: Be My Valentine
Tuesday Morning Sketches #31: Sketch Challenge
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #36: Valentine's or Love
Stampin' for the Weekend: Valentines Themed
Raise the Bar #4: Hearts
Creative Card Crew #44: Valentine's
Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays #26: Valentine with a twist...no RED (the darkest color in the card is actually a very deep pink, not red)

What I used:
Stamp: 50's Sweetheart digi from The Greeting Farm
Paper: Bo Bunny, Papertrey Ink, Core'dinations
Ink: Copic Sketch, Shimmerz, Creative Inspirations
Accents: Die cuts with Nestabilities by Spellbinders, MS Punch, Gem

Thanks so much for stopping by!
