Another ABC challenge entry....I'm on a roll!!!!

 Ok, I admit I MIGHT be stretching the challenge theme over at ABC Christmas Challenge this week, but hey, can't hurt to try right?!?!!  Their challenge is the letter B - so you have to use a BEAR (check), and either Bunting (had to look that up to see what it was!), Banners, Brads, Buttons, Bows, and Blooms.  WELLLLL, my ribbon is tied in a bow - NOT a pretty bow mind you but it is a BOW!  BUT for added measure, I included another B - baubles! The Christmas Baubles in Barry's paw - that should count too, don't ya think?? (I can see Samantha now....shaking her head at me!!! LMAO)

Anyway, here is my tent card I made using Barry from The Stamp Fairy. 
The CS is Kiwi Kiss (SU) and the DP is from Cosmo Cricket - can't remember the pad its from though, it is pretty old!  The ribbon is Riding Hood Red (SU)

 Side view:

(see how the top flap folds under the image to keep it closed and upright?)

 

 Open view:

Anyway, was worth a shot!!!! LOL  Wish me luck!!!!  HAVE A GREAT DAY!
Hugs,
Chris

The DT are showcasing ECHO PARK products, so make sure you check out the amazing selection! The papers are incredible to work with - a nice thickness, wide variety of colours and designs....I must say, Echo Park is MY fave DP at the moment!!!

I have used Penny Black - Garden Friends stamps set.  The CS is Core'Dinations and the DP is  Echo Park - Happy Days.  I used  Copics to colour the image. The butterfly is a 3 layer butterfly using the EK Success Butterfly layering punch (LOVE THIS!!!) - in real life there are 3 layers of the butterfly, it looks so pretty popping out of the card!!!

ABC Christmas challenge....

Hello everyone!! Happy Sunday!!!!  I decided to use these really cute reindeer die cuts that I bought from ETSY to make some Christmas cards for next year.  These cards are scraplings so are a bit smaller than regular cards, but still cute, all the same.  I am entering these cards into the  ABC Christmas Challenge Blog - Anything Goes

The CS and ribbon are Riding Hood Red and the DP is from Jillibean Soup - Christmas Eve Chowder.  I was able to use up bits from other projects, so that makes me happy when I don't waste such cute paper!!! IF anyone knows which Cricut cartridge these cute reindeer are from, PLEASE let me know.....  THANKS!

Better run and take the dogs for a walk!  We are heading to my in-laws for a Prime Rib Dinner...yummmm! Can't wait!!!!
Hugs,
Chris
