Foxy Christmas!

Hello everyone!  Hope you all had a great New Years - all the very best to you in 2014!!!  I have made a fairly simple card this week, partly because I wanted to show off this really cool paper I got in a swap!! AND I'm thrilled every time I get to use my crinkle seam binding!!!  This cute FOX PRESENT is coloured with Copics, and popped up on the card.  I used my sakura gelly roll stardust pen on the present for a little bling!

Now, head on over to the 2 Cute Ink SHOP and pick up this cute fox......and a few others while you're there!!!! 
HUGS, Chris

Snow Fun!

I made this card a couple weeks ago while I was home - snowed in!!!  Calgary got hit with a nasty blizzard and a LOT of snow! AND it was COLD!!!!  (-39 Celcius) so I took advantage of the day and got my Christmas cards done and ready to mail!!!

 I have used images from Digi Garden in honour of Jacqui, the artist.  I know you're smiling down on the crafty world, Jacqui! We miss you!

 I have made a side step card, and made it look like a snowball fight!!!  This one was really fun!!! The "snowballs" are just a tiny circle punch!!

I am entering this card into these challenges:
My Creative Classroom - Holiday themed
Crafty Calendar Challenge - Cold & Frosty
Send a smile 4 kids - Winter fun for kids
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge - anything last minute

I hope you like my snowball fight!!!!
Hugs,
Chris

Sexy in Blue!

Hey everyone! Been awhile - sorry!!! I was cleaning up my files and came across some cards that haven't been entered into any challenges, so thought I'd see what I could manage with this card.....still lots of Christmas challenges on the go!! SO, I am going to enter this into the following challenges:

Drunken Stampers - Embossing
All Sorts challenge - brown with blue
Alphabet Challenge - W - whatever you wish
Brown Sugar - Anything Goes
Creative Corner challenges - Clean and Simple

This is a Stamping Chef image, can't remember what her name is though..... and I used some ribbon, flowers and rhinestones from my stash.  The back piece is embossed with my D'vine swirls folder!

Been SO long since I entered challenges, I hope I don't forget a step!!! LOL

Get on your HOPPIN' SHOES.....................

WELCOME to another FUN hop and AWESOME new release from SASSY STUDIO DESIGNS!!!!!  

Be sure to complete the hop and comment on every blog so you'll be eligible to win some great prizes!!!!   

HERE is my card, using HANGING THE WREATH and UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE background!  

Thanks to my Sassy Sister Kitty, I was able to combine the background and the image so it looked like she was hanging the wreath above the fireplace.  Kitty helped me erase the original wreath that was there! Thanks!!!! I have coloured it all with Copics, added some 3D white paint to the window to look like snow, some orange stickles to make the fire look "flickery", and a lot of silver stickles on the tree and wreath.  I really love combining images to make scenes & that is why png files are so awesome to have!!!  This was a fun one to colour!!!

You should have hopped here from GEMMA'S amazing creation on her blog .......and now you are off to see what eye candy KARAL has in store for you!! Good luck and have fun!!!!!
