Merry Christmas 2020

Wow, what a year we have all had!

I don't know about you, but this Christmas has come at me at lightening speed. It only seems like yesterday that I was thinking of my mum's birthday (October!) and if I could visit her!

No matter where you are, I hope you get to enjoy the Christmas as best you can with loved ones.

I myself am working the morning shift but get the pleasure of having Christmas Dinner tonight with my Husband, children and their partners. 

Heartfelt thoughts to you all xoxo

 

Gingerbread Wishes set

It's Holiday Chaos time over at Catch the Bug with Bugaboo Stamps!

Day 4 is New Release / Bingo.

I went with the middle diagonal line - Designer Paper/Bugaboo Image/Die Cut.

I used the Female cup for Gingerbread Wishes Set.

I coloured her up with my Faber Castell pencils.

My background is a paper by Ephemoire (Ginger Whimsy).

I used the dame paper and printed my sentiment onto it and then used the smallest of my Jaded Blossom Stitched Circle die set to die cute and attach.

Made for a fun ATC.

I am entering in the following Challenges:

Creations in Pink # 29

Time for the last Challenge of 2020 over at Creations in Pink....remember it's anything goes, but has to be mainly Pink.

This month our Sponsor is Hetty Clare Art.

I created with the image Lulu Love It. 

I coloured her with Distress Inks and fussy cut.

I cut out two tags with Patterned Paper from my stash, and then decided to use the backside of the bigger die.

I embossed my card mat with a SU Dot embossing folder that I only lightly embossed as I didn't want it to take over, just add a subtle element to the card.

My sentiment is from one of my cut-aparts from Uniquely Creative.

I hope you get a chance to craft this holiday season and join in with us.

Crabby Cathy Mail Packages

It's Holiday Chaos time over at Catch the Bug with Bugaboo Stamps!

Day 3 is ABC Challenge - Anything But a Card

I used a recent Freebie image called Crabby Cathy Mail Packages.

I coloured her up with my Faber Castell pencils.

I added her to my Mason Jar image by Ephemoire (Pastel Holiday Mason Jar Kit) and then adhered to some glitter card stock that I had die cut with a Jaded Blossom Stitched Circle die.

All that was left to do was to punch a hole, add some tinsel and hang on my tree.

(I made my Jack & Sally ornaments a few years ago)

Vintage Ballerina Girl Bookmark

This month's Image Challenge over at Gecko Galz is a gorgeous Vintage Ballerina Girl.

I decided to make a bookmark with her for my Altered Book Journal.

I used one of the pages I took out and folded in half, glued and sponged the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink.

I then added a strip of glittery organza ribbon from my stash down the center.

Fussy cut and sponged the edges of my image and then added it on top.

Then using my Vintage Text  Mark Making Stamp by Uniquely Creative, I stamped off with ink using the distress ink top and bottom areas of the bookmark.

I added a mdf snowflake also from Uniquely Creative as a tab and then some gold flakes to add a bit more bling.

The back side I have added a strip of card stock to help strengthen it.

I am entering in the following Challenges:

Reindeer Peeker

It's Holiday Chaos time over at Catch the Bug with Bugaboo Stamps!

Day 1 is a Theme: Reindeer Games.

I used the image called Reindeer Peeker and I coloured him with Faber Castell pencils.

The sentiment is from JJ Xmas Cheer also by Bugaboo.

My background is from Ephemoire's Ginger Whimsy Papers 1 (# 3).

Ralphie Treat Bag

I had never watched A Christmas Story, so when Traci over at Ephemoire showed us this Ralphie Treat Bag (plus more), I had to ask the question and hunt down the movie.

Now that I've watched the movie, it makes perfect sense!

A great movie, bit slow at times, but well worth the time to watch it through to the end!

As easy as print and cut!

A bit of ink sponged around the edges to give it the vintage feel and then adhere the sides.

I added a mdf snowflake on a foam dot, which I left raw as it blends in nicely. I did pop an enamel dot in the middle of it just to hide the foam dot. 

With the foam dot behind the snowflake, you can easily tuck the flap in behind it to close it.

I also fussy cut and sponged the glasses and added to the flap - no more needs to be done.

My water pistol is the perfect gift here in Australia to go with the Treat Bag as our Summer has just begun and boy is it stinkin' hot already!

Happy Holidays everyone and don't shout your eye out! Fa Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

We Believe

Time for a new Challenge over at The Paper Funday Blog!

As we are every month, our theme is Anything Goes, and our twist this month if you want to play along with it, is Christmas / Holidays.

This month we are sponsored by Paper Nest Dolls.

I got to use the image Reindeer Ellie with Ornament.

Seriously, how cute is this girl with her kitty!

I coloured Ellie and her kitten with my copic markers and used one of my tag dies to cut out.

I used my white gel pen for a few highlights. 

I decided to pop two die cuts I cut from red glitter paper to add to the sentiment which is from one of my Jaded Blossom sets.

Super sweet!

Hope you find time to join in our Challenge.

Our Generous Sponsor this week is Jan's Digital Stamps. 

 

The prize is a $10 voucher for her online store.

For our last Challenge of the year, I chose to create with Beach Friends. 

 

I coloured them with Distress Inks.

I was going for a postcard type effect......found some open book style dies I was given a few years back so went with that instead!

My sentiment is of course from a Uniquely Creative Cut-apart.

I hope you get a chance to play along with us.
