"Winter Girls" Challenge over at Come and Get It!

 The Challenge over at Come and Get It features "Winter Girls" and the gorgeous one that I got to use is called Winter Cardigan Girl from Lemon Shortbread.  These teen images just appeal to me, I imagine that my soon to be *16* yo Granddaughter has something to do with that!
Lemon Shortbreads' image faces are so sweet and precious-a joy to color.
So I chose some non-traditional colors in one of my favorite combinations-purple & green.  Added a snowy background paper and a snowy die cut from Memory Lane, and some frosty snowflakes and one can just feel the frost in the air.  While I had already added snowdrops, I decided to add some diamond stickles to add to the sparkle.
On the inside liner, I used another soft blue, frosty ornaments paper with a wonderful Christmas stamp from Stampabilities.  It's the official start to my Christmas cards and I have Come and Get It Challenge and Lemon Shortbread to thank for that!  Ho Ho Ho!

Theme Challenge at Crafting When We Can-Sponsored by Lemon Shortbread

This week at Crafting When We Can the Challenge is to find inspiration from this:
  It could be the gorgeous colors, button, or maybe sewing theme--Or all three!  This image is from Lemon Shortbread and she has beautiful digitals of all kinds.  Check her out!  She is called Babydoll Dress Girl   and she is done with copics.  I teamed her up with this awesome paper that had several of the colors as well as spools of thread, scissors, sewing needle and on top of that, I used mini buttons as the centers of the flowers. To add a little more accent, I used rub-on "faux stitching" around the image.  On the inside is the reverse of the patterned paper-it is in a glowing orange with sewing patterns and advertisements.  I used a stamped thank you sentiment from my stash.
We would love to see your creations on our Challenge this week.  The Prize is a $10 gift certificate from the Lemon Shortbread Shop!  SEW get to work and show us your stuff!

Making a Christmas Ornament from a Lemon Shortbread image-at the Come And Get It Challenge!

Tonights' Come And Get It entry is so unusual for me-instead of a card, our task was to create "anything but" a card.  With this being the Christmas season, I took this adorable image "Winter Fairy" from Lemon Shortbread and created an Ornament for our tree.
Because she was colored on cardstock with Copics, she was a little fragile to survive through the years.  So I fancy cut the original layer out and then mounted her to some heavier white pearlized cardstock and trimmed it out also.  Used some narrow baby blue satin ribbon, made a bow for the top of the hanger loop, and then stuck a sticky dot down to hold the ribbon ends and covered that with an oval of the same cardstock to "finish" it.  I used crystal Stickles on the bottom "slip" and also on her wings.
Be watching on the 18th for another creation-that one WILL be a card and then on to the New Year full of new challenges and images.  We can't wait to see you then!
