Snowflakes are Blowing at Color It Create It Show It Off w/ Sherri Baldy's Images

 What a great way to start out the New Year than with a New Challenge at Color It Create It Show It Off!   We are using Sherri Baldy images and this one, that is perfect for any Winter Occasion, is called Img 911 and can be found here in the store.  Done in Pinks and Grays, I added my favorite "go-to" for snowflakes, White Chunky Frantage.  I then mounted her on some glittery ornament paper pack called Silver Bells by KaiserCraft (as is the blue silver foil background paper.  I wrapped the card front with some snowball fiber and added some clear dew drops.
On the inside liner, I kept it pretty simple, using a weathered wood look in soft blue.  Added a
Merry Christmas sentiment that was already pre-printed in the Kaisercraft pkt.  Wonderful to have all the accents you need in one place!

Great Christmas cards created with Sherri Ann Baldy imges! Purple & Lime love it!

One of my favorite Christmas card digital images this year was the one you see here from Sherri Baldy!  We know it as Scan 102 and she can be found HERE in Sherri's store, newly released.
I always have a love/hate relationship with the colors of purple but thought I'd tackle it for this card-because of the awesome paper I found that contained purple/lime, one of my favorite combinations.
After coloring with copics, and accenting all the beads, stars, and snowflakes with stickles and liquid pearls, I matted her with lime green and then wrapped the image with purple sheer chiffon ribbon.  I added a great sentiment stamp from KKS and a silver Tree charm with narrow bow.
The inside liner continues the color theme and a larger clear stamp from KKS.  I love how festive this card turned out!!

A Snowy Christmas Card from a Sherri Baldy Image-Have a wonderful Christmas!

This is a gorgeous image from Sherri Ann Baldy from her shop found here.  This little snowbird is Scan0098 and I love all the layers she has!  It's a perfect card to send a friend across the miles at this wonderful Christmas season.  I used a deep blue snowflake paper from Hot off the Press and then layered it with a gold glittered specialty paper with a pattern of flower buds and stems on it.  Helped to pick up the gold trim on her dress.

There's also 3 silver snowflake charms with blue embroidery floss bows on the side and a friendship sentiment near the bottom from KKS. On the inside I made 2 fishtail banners out of some accent papers and stamped a Christmas greeting on it.  Lots of room to add a special greeting of your own.  There are several Challenge locations to enter your Sherri Baldy creations so I hope we see yours soon!

A snowy Scene at Come and Get It with an image from Make It Crafty!

One of my favorite digital image sponsors is Make It Crafty and I have a chance to use 2 of their images on this card for Come and Get It!  First the adorable gal I used is called Jasmine Hot Chocolate-I love these aquas and purples!  AND it just worked out so perfect that I had previously purchased a background image from Make It Crafty that was set with a snowbank and frozen pond.
For this card, I perched her on the pond bank and additionally colored the background and added some frantage for snow falling.  I used a white diamond sparkly cardstock that seems to make the snow shimmer even more.  I love this design paper that has ice skates on it so that's the inside liner for the card and then I used a pre-printed sentiment that sent the message of Christmas.
The winner of the Make It Crafty portion of this challenge will get a $10 gift certificate for their store- oooh that is so great!  Come on over to Come and Get It and put your entry in our last Challenge for 2016!  We'd love to see your creations!

New release time at Sasayaki Glitter! I've got a Christmas card!

 I'm on a roll with Christmas Cards 'cause it's coming up so quickly!!  The image that I'm working on is simply called Girl and Puppy from Sasayaki Glitter.  It's a great reminder that Sasayaki Glitter has a challenge currently running AND this is one of the new release images that she had available out there.
I used a 6x6 card blank and topped it with the festive country checked paper.  The image is colored with copics and I used White chunky Frantage embossed on the background for a snow effect.  I put an ivory paper lace piece along side of the matted image and added a "candy cane" grosgrain ribbon along the side.  On the inside, I used the reverse side of the same paper for a splash of color and a great sentiment for the Holidays.  Come see what other images you will be able to get at the Sasayaki Glitter Store!

We will randomly pick a winner to receive 3 images of your choice, and our DT will chose their top 3 creations.  We will invite one of these winners back as a guest DT for our next challenge. 
I chose to use the image called "Little Angel" and I thought it was perfect for this time of year.  The front is covered with a deeply embossed silver and white paper, then it has a blue speckled paper on the second layer (reminds me of snow), that layer is wrapped with an organza ribbon and bow-I sewed 2 silver snowflakes under the bow.  The Angel is colored with copics and I've put Star Dust Stickles on the wings and the top edge of the angel's sleeves.  On the inside, it's the snowflake paper again with a great Christmas sentiment from KKS-they're always perfect!
 We do hope you will find the time to play along - You have until the evening of the 14th to enter your creations using the link at the bottom of the challenge page.

Reminder: ATG Sherri Ann Baldy's Month long Challenge over at Color It, Create It, Show it Off

 There are so many Christmas images in Sherri Ann Baldy's shop, and many have made it onto MY cards this year, that you will have trouble deciding which is your favorite!  I created this one for Color It, Create It, Show it Off  using  "Img 454" and it is perfect with her deer antlers headband!  I used some double-sided papers from my stash and then wrapped the pretty card in a rich red organza ribbon and attached a silver Christmas Tree charm.  I also used a beautiful holly leaf swirl die cut from a dear friend in New Zealand-what a treat!
When I looked at this image, I thought-black velvet dress so hopefully I achieved that look.  I felt like she would be dressy, going to a party or a Christmas Concert.  Some white flower soft sprinkled on the fur on her dress give some dimension.
On the inside liner, I used another  Graphic 45 paper-I think it was meant to be cut apart and used separately but I like the look of it all together.  A wonderful sentiment stamped for the inside from the great group KKS finishes it off. 
As a reminder, there is still a Challenge here.  Our challenge runs from the 1st day of the Month and ends the end of the day on the 29th, and our winners are announced on the last day of the month. You can check the prizes out -the images are amazing.
