Some Winter Fun over at All Dressed Up Stamps!

We've started our 101th Challenge over at All Dressed Up Stamps and are so excited to start 2020 surrounded by so many friends on our website and on Facebook.  I hope you will be a follower of my blog to see all the new and exciting images from several designers and my "take" on the themes.
Since we're in-between Christmas and Valentine's Day, what a perfect time to use Penguins....on anything!!  The image I used is called Sharing at Christmas.  I used some great papers from Echo Park called "My Favorite Winter" that is double sided, as many are these days.  A light dusting of "Sugar Coating" from doodlebug design gave the snowy hills their sparkle.  I used copics to color my images-love how they blend.
On the inside, I used the penguin paper again and, in this series, there are some "cut-a-ways" which are sentiments that can be used anywhere on your cards-that special touch!
Be sure and check out the other Challenge cards from our DT team.  We do hope you will find the time to play along--You have a full month (until the evening of Feb, 14th) to enter your creations  using the link below.

Reminder there's a Christmas-ATG Challenge over at Color It Create It Show It Off

With this little cutie, I'd like to remind you that right now there is a Challenge going on over at Color It Create It Show It Off.
 We welcome you to use whatever medium you wish and whatever image you wish. We the design team create with our sponsors image My Besties, but you are welcome to use anything. Our new Challenge for this month is Christmas/Anything Goes.
I'm using Mr. Snow man Scan 0046    and I love all the little details on him!  To bring out the red accents on him, I matted it with a Christmas stripe and then used as a background a shiny paper that looks like some of the white has been scratched off down to the shiny silver-I love it!  I added some white flower soft for the snow drifts on the bottom.  The different accent on the card is some light blue jewels that are hanging like melting snow, like on the pot handle, glove...can you spy the other places?  Well, you've got lots of time to show us your creations at our challenge-we can't wait to see them!

New Challenge for December at Paper Nest Dolls-Cocoa and Snowflakes-It's Winter!

There are so many adorable Christmas images over at Paper Nest Dolls that it's never hard to find one that you love to work with!  For the Challenge this month, I've chosen one of Christine's new digital images called Hot Cocoa Avery.  Yes, that's right, She not only has Stamps but Digis also!  Love them as you can adjust the images to suit your needs.

I had some paper that had red, swirled, embossed glittered accents on it--well it matched her gorgeous red Velvet? dress with the candy cane stockings so well.  I matted her image with black to make it stand out then tucked in some snowflakes from the edge of a full 12 x 12 sheet underneath the Doll.  Then I colored the light evening sky in some lavender hues, added spots of snow and made some snow drifts around her boots with white Flower Soft.  I always finish the inside panel of my cards and this time I used one of my favorite papers-it looks just like a cable knit sweater-perfect for snowy days!  I used a fairly large Christmas stamp-new this year that says Peace on Earth.  I hope it warms someone special this year and sends them love.

Christmas/Anything Goes over at Color It Create It Show It Off! Do I hear Jingle Bells?

Over at Color It Create It Show It Off Challenge we welcome you to use whatever medium you wish and whatever image you wish. We the design team create with our sponsors image My Besties, but you are welcome to use anything. Our new Challenge for this month is:

Christmas /Anything Goes

If you use the theme of the challenge you have an more chances to win some images from My Besties.  I'm using Img 906 and I think of her as waiting anxiously for Santa coming down the Chimney.  She was colored with Copics and I love the look of her Stocking Cap with the Holly trim!  I wanted to make her vintage looking so I curled and tore the edges of her picture and the accent strip under her.  For some Christmas accents, I used some laser cut wooden package and snowflake.  On the inside, I used some matching paper with stars and a stamped sentiment from my stash.

Sherri Baldy always has neat images, especially for the seasons & Holidays.  I can't wait to color some more up to get my card list whittled down!  Come over to the Challenge and win some images-can't wait to share in the Christmas joy!
