ABC CHALLENGE - F for felt or fabric

This week at  ABC Christmas Challenge  our letter is  
F for FELT or FABRIC!!!

I used one of my sweet sweet BARRY images from The Stamp Fairy.
I have coloured him with Copics and added glitter to the top of the stocking.  The felt snowflakes are from Stampin Up! and I have had them FOREVER!!!!  I found some paper that matched the snowflakes and ran with it! Not 100% crazy about this card, but I like the snowflakes!!!  Wish I had them in other colours now! LOL 

Thanks so much for popping by!!! Remember with this challenge, you have TWO WEEKS to enter! So why not get a head start on your Christmas cards for next year???  I'm excited to have a good stash of them done for next year.....less stress!!!! Wheeeeeeeeee!!!!
Have a great day!

Incy Wincy Designs challenge....make a SHAPED card

HAPPY MONDAY!!!

                           This week the Incy Wincy Design team has a GREAT challenge for you.....

make a SHAPED card...so no squares or rectangles!!!! 

Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo stamps & they always have an amazing prize...so I hope you'll join us!!!!

I have used Merry Christmas to Ewe from Bugaboo and Shape EZ Snowflake card template.
The snowflake card turned out really cute but I have to admit I totally CASE'd my friend NETTY on this one (thanks Annette!!!) - she is the queen of shaped cards and I am always at a loss on what to do with them!  I also used her cloud template to create chalked clouds behind the sheep!  The snow is 3D glittering crystal paint and the hat has 3D white puff paint - both from Michaels and the ribbon is crinkle seam binding I bought from Etsy!  I inked the edges and added a few rhinestones!

And then, head on over to the CHALLENGE blog and see what the rest of my teamies have done!!!!

Have fun and good luck!!! I hope you'll join us this week! If you do, you could win a GREAT prize this week!!! WOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

2 Cute Ink NEW RELEASE!!!

Hello everyone! Happy Friday!!! 

It is time for our weekly NEW RELEASE from 2Cute Ink....actually there are TWO this week....Flower Bunny & Irish Jig Bunny.  I have used Flower Bunny!But head to the blog to see the Irish Jig bunny - he IS cute!!!! I have him coloured but didn't get time to make a card with him as this week is Parent/Teacher interviews and a very busy, crazy week!!! 

I have coloured the bunny with my Koh-i-noor pencils and gamsol and added a bit of stickles to the center of the flower.  The paper is from Kaiser (Lilac Lane) and the DP is from SU.  Ribbon and button are from my stash! This is the first time I tried this type of 'bow' and it turned out alright, its different & better than my usual 'knot'!! LOL 

Head on over to the shop to pick up this cutie for yourself!!!  Thanks for popping in!
Hugs,
Chris

ABC Christmas - 1/2 way reminder

 Hi everyone! Here is my card for the ABC Christmas challenge 1/2 way reminder!! You have 1 week left to enter into our E for Eyes Down Bingo challenge!!!! 

For this card I have used the diagonal - Not a square, blue, and die cuts. 

The card base is BLUE, I promise! I was having a heck of a time with my photo editor & this is the best I could do!

The die cuts are the snowflakes (they are die cut stickers!!!) 

The image is GEORGE WINTERTIME 1 - #3,  from The Stamp Fairy - our sponsor this fortnight! I added 3D puff paint as snow and coloured him with Copics. The sentiment is also from The Stamp Fairy!

Thanks for popping by....be sure to check out the challenge & join us this week!!!

Love to Create Challenge - Lavender and Lace

(PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY!)

Good morning everyone!!! Happy Monday!!!!!

                                          This week the LOVE TO CREATE Challenge is   

LAVENDER & LACE

 

Our sponsor this week is Sassy Studios.  I have used ALL WRAPPED UP....and coloured her with Copics.  I fussy cut her out and propped her up on the lace (Hero Arts).  The DP is Kaiser - Lilac Avenue.  Not overly crazy about this card, but me & lace just don't see eye to eye!!  AND I couldn't think of a sentiment to go with her, that would be appropriate.....although she'd make a great guy card, I used purples?!?!?!  NOT sure what I was thinking!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!
Head on over to the challenge blog to check it out!!! HOPE to see you joining us!!!!!

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Bunny Zoe - Girly 
Creative Stamp Friends - Spring colours
Pretty Little Ribbon challenge - Happy Birthday

Incy Wincy Designs challenge - F is for.....

HAPPY MONDAY!!!

                           This week the Incy Wincy Design team has a GREAT challenge for you.....

Use things that start with the letter F!

I have used: 

FRIEND

FUZZY (the hedgehog is fuzzy)

FREE HAND (the doodles around the edge of the card)

This is CRINKLES - DAISY FRAMED 
from Dilly Beans - a new sponsor for us at Incy Wincy!!!! I have coloured him with Copics and simply added him to a white base.  I wanted to doodle around the card like his frame is doodled...apparently I'm not so good at doodling!  AHHH WELL!!!!!  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches and the yellow plaid DP is from my stash! 

Be sure to check out Megan's really cute digis at her SHOP!!!!  
And then, head on over to the CHALLENGE blog and see what the rest of my teamies have done!!!!

Have fun and good luck!!! I hope you'll join us this week! If you do, you could win a GREAT prize this week!!! WOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I am entering this into the OOH LA LA CHALLENGE and USE YOUR STUFF which are both four legged friends  and STAMP AND CREATE is Fur & Feathers.

This is a tough one....

Over at Here come the Boys challenge blog, their challenge this week is NO STAMPS - that includes no inked stamps or no digis...gulp!!!!!!  This was tough! SO I pulled out a really old card kit package I got  with My Minds Eye papers, chipboard pieces, and already made sentiment tags & went to work!  This is what I came up with.........and it wasn't that painful! LOL   IT was fun using these little guys too & I'm happy to use up old stash - that makes me feel good!!! So, because I am happy with it, I am entering it into that challenge!! 

 I'm also sharing this with Hels at Ink on my Fingers because her theme is ""USE SOMETHING YOU HAVE HAD FOR YONKS & NEVER USED" - and the word YONKS made me giggle!!!!  Must be a British thing eh?? LOL  CUTE!!!!

AND entering it at a couple ANYTHING GOES challenges:  That Craft Place, Challenges 4 everybody,  and 613 Avenue Create.

AND since it is for my nephews birthday, entering it into a couple BIRTHDAY challenges:  Eclectic Ellapu,  and Robyn's Fetish.

It looks like it is becoming PASTEL season!!!!

I am entering this card into the Pike's Playground challenge which is PASTELS.  I think the pale blue and yellow qualify it for pastels (I hope!!!!)  I made this card for my brother in law who loves to fish! Didn't think pastels worked for guy cards but I think this one does!!! What do you think??

I am also entering this into 2 Sisters Challenge which is also Pastels this week. All Sorts challenge and One Stop Craft Challenge themes are Springtime, so I think this fits in there quite nicely too!!!
Wish me luck!
Hugs,
Chris

2 Cute Ink project with iFrogger image! FREEBIE alert!!!!

 I made this gift bag using the FREEBIE iFrogger image from 2 Cute Ink.....isn't he adorable?!?!  I resized him and copied him several times so it looked like a pond scene!  The sentiment is computer generated.  I also added googly eyes to some of them and some plastic flies I had kicking around my craft room!  I stamped the bag with some bugs and added some cute green ribbon to the handles!  Cute, fast, easy gift bag!!!!  LOVE IT!!! 

What you need to do to get your FREEBIE iFrogger image, is go to the 2 Cute Ink Facebook page & follow the instructions (its quick & painless, I promise!!!!) AND well worth it for this ADORABLE famous frog!!!!!

Then if you have an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, head to iTunes and get the cool game that he was made for:  iFrogger!!! Looks fun, but unfortunately I don't have an iPhone...so get it & let me know how it is!!!! I LOVE fun games!!!! 

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND everyone!
Hugs,
Chris
