CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra - Mid-Month Inspiration.

Hello!

September 15 for us means one thing: school.

In my hometown today is the day when everything comes back to its routine even if my daughter is starting a new school and everything will be different.

 

Anyway, it's time for some fresh inspiration for CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra.

 

This is my card:

 

 

As usual, I chose a super-sweet image from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps.

It's called Bobblehead Elf and it seems it's not yet in the new shop as I'm writing this.

 

I chose papers from Doodlebug and some pearls and buttons. The little holly stamp and the sentiment are from MFT.

For my mini card I chose an elf from MFT and a background paper from First Edition. The tree is stamped on a paper from the same pad.

This is my card:

 

I found this embellishment from The Yellow Bicycle in my stash and made my card around it.

I colored the little elf from MFT stamps (Santa's Elves) with my Copics and some glitter, then chose my background paper (Doodlebug).

I love the colors!

Hello There!

I'm surrounded by unfinished projects... I'd like to make all the things I have in mind but (luckily?) custom orders force me to leave them aside and work on something else.

 

At least, I managed to finish one of the projects I had been working on recently.

I've tried to make some sneak peeks on Instagram of the coloring and creating process. Being a newbie, I wanted to learn a bit more about the way Instagram works and, thanks to my daughter, I've also found a way to add some details to my pics.

 

Anyway, here's my project:

 

 

These sweet gnomes are from MFT stamps and I've had them for a little while so time has come to make something out of them.

I've found these little signs/magnets in my stash and yes, they are perfect for the gnomes!

 

I covered each sign with a bright patterned paper from October Afternoon, I colored the gnomes with my Copics and assembled everything adding a small wording and, of course, two tiny pearls.

 

I love them! They talk about spring and garden time!

This is my card:

 

She is one of the super cute Lucy Doris from the Four Seasons Lucy Doris  set from Melonheadz. The card is from a new set I bought a while ago from a local shop and I embellished it with a stripe of paper and a lovely ribbon. The sentiment is from MFT.

I'm so happy to share my very first card with one of My Favorite Things stamps: Santa's Elves! They are from Birdie Brown, one of my favorite designers: I loved her digi stamps, her stamps from There She Goes and now I've finally one of her MFT stamps!

I'm also a fan of elves and I enjoyed myself so much coloring and making this card!

 

Can't wait to use the other elves in the collection...
