It's new Winter images at All Dressed Up--ATG on our Challenge!

Welcome back to a brand new challenge. We had some fabulous entries last month, so check back on the 29th our winner and top three as chosen by our DT!

As always the theme for our Blog Challenge is -

Anything Goes 

but you must use a All Dressed Up Image.

Not got any? There are some gorgeous freebies -} here. 

But please respect the rules! 

 Or you can buy any of Wendy's fab images from the All Dressed Up store -} here. 

Now what could be easier than that?  

We will randomly pick a winner to receive 3 images of your choice, and our DT will chose their top 3 creations.

My image for this challenge is called Boy's Christmas Stocking and I love the simple lines and I like the idea of a focus on a young boy during he Holidays.  I double matted him in green and Red Plaid on top of a forest of trees.  I kept it simple with 3 different sized wood trees in the corner.  In the inside, using the plaid again, I stamped a sentiment and topped it with a wooden star.

We do hope you will find the time to play along - You have a full month (until the evening of the 14th) to enter your creations.

Rick St. Dennis is bringing Christmas to me-Sponsoring us at Craft Your Passion!

 I just love this image from Rick St. Dennis called "Christmas Dance".  He has great shading built into the images making it real easy to shadow your work.  It's always "Anything Goes" at Craft Your Passion and this was a great time to get a Christmas card done!
I decided to do a different take and make this card an Easel Card.  Covered the front with a festive Tree paper with a trim of red velvet ribbon and white pearls.  You can't really tell from the photos but, there is a Wink of Stella on Santa's fur and Mrs. Claus' stars.
On the inside, some great sentiment paper in reds and greens.  I added a cardstock word with lots of red glitter "JOY" and a Jolee poinsettia in a shimmery red paper.
Please come join us in the challenge and show us your beautiful creations!

Sharing Christmas Card Marathon crafting session!

Every evening when I come home from work, I'm usually found making cards.  Normally, it's to showcase a creation for one of the Design Teams that I'm on.  But occasionally, the Love of the Christmas season lifts me up from a tired day and fills me with the Spirit of the Season. 

I'm just here tonight to share the love of the creations I'm inspired to make.  Just thought I'd just display them to bring a smile to your face and maybe give you some ideas and put your fingers to work to make your own creations.

Thank you for taking the time to look them over.  I will say that all of the sentiments, if not stamped, are digital sayings from Doodle Pantry.  That being said, here are many of those cards:
