Blog Hop and Challenge

Hi Everyone, wow, over at Come and Get It Challenges, we've been busy beavers. We have a bunch of new sponsors for the challenge and we also have some fabulous new designers, please welcome Barb, Bunny, Jo, and Roberta. 

 It's wonderful news for our challenge. A prize can be won almost every challenge next year. so go and take a look at what's happening. 

This is a month long challenge, to give everyone time to be with their families over the holidays, but we will be back on the 15th as well with some more inspiration from the wonderful Design Team.

For the first image of the hop I have chosen to work with a Saturated Canary Image from Stamp and Create. 

This is Nevaeh, from Saturated Canary, a wonderful image to work with. I've colored her with Promarkers, then I've used my dies from Spellbinders ( scalloped oval), Stampin Up ( oval) , Quilled Creations,( roses and leaves,  Memory Box (corner snowflakes ), and  Taylored Expressions (banner). I've used Pool Party and Smokey Slate card stock, Pool Party seam binding ribbon, and basic pearls from Stampin Up. The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions, and the branches from a Martha Stewart punch. The snowflake die was cut from Silver glimmer paper that I colored using a mister filled with Pool Party Ink and Alcohol. Thanks for looking. 

I hope you enjoyed the Hop and that you remembered to pick up the letters needed to spell out the words to win the prizes. My letter is the same as the previous Blog. Thanks for hopping along with us.

Anything Goes Christmas Challenge and Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, It's been a busy week first we had the blog hop for Come and Get It now onto another one for Holly Jolly. The theme again is Christmas as usual at Holly Jolly but this time it is Anything goes. We have some great sponsors and some lovely prizes available to be won. go and check it out. Not only that but we are also welcoming our New Design Team Members Anne, Carol, Linda and Joey. Welcome aboard ladies. Oh and that isn't all, come back on the 18th of the month for some more great inspiration too.

Christmas Robin from Digi Stamps 4 Joy

For my first card I have used an Image from Digi Stamps 4 Joy called Christmas Robin. As you can tell I am a bird lover at heart, so any images with birds on them I just adore. So I had to have this one LOL. I used water colors to color him then fussy cut him out. He is on a Garden Green panel embossed with a holly leaves embossing folder, and then put onto the beaded circle die cut, with the rhinestones. I then used a back panel of Always Artichoke that was embossed with the same folder. I've added the piece of silver glimmer paper, for some interest and sparkle. and used Ridinghood  taffetta ribbon.
Thanks for looking.

My Second card is a Saturated Canary Image- Noelcarols for Stamp and Create. I have colored her with Promarkers, then cut her out and layered her on top of another image, so that I still had the music notes in the background. I've used retired paper behind her as well as Real Red card stock embossed with swirls. the jingle bells are a die cut from Memory Box, which I've cut out of champagne glimmer paper. The ribbon and bow are old olive taffeta ribbon, then I've added some color dots in real red to the top of the card.
Thanks for looking
