C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 287 - Christmas Present.

Hello!

With Christmas just around the corner we have a second Christmas-themed challenge for you this month!

This time we want to see Christmas presents!

Although I'm absolutely far from having my presents ready or at least having an idea of what to buy, I've lots of cards and the one for this week is full of presents:

She is Ruby Christmas - Present Stack from Bugaboo Stamps. I wanted her to wear a black dress and this inspired the choice of the background papers and card base.

As usual, I suggest you have a look here at our challenge blog to see the fab creations of our DT members and to check out all the sponsors for this week's challenge. Bugaboo Stamps is one of them!

2 Cute Ink Challenge # 120 - Pets!

* * This is my second post today, please scroll down to see my project for Not Just Card Challenge * *

Good afternoon!

Here I am now for our new 2 Cute Ink Challenge!

This week we have a super-theme, PETS!

This is my card:

These a-do-ra-ble cats are Fall in Love Kitties from 2 Cute Ink shop of course!

Aren't they sweet?

I had a completely different idea when I printed my kitties but then I saw this paper from Best Creations and thought it was the perfect frame for this lovely couple.

I needed only a few touches here and there and the card was ready!

My teamies have created such beautiful cards this week, have a look here to see them all, you'll be amazed to see them!

This will be our last challenge for this year. It'll run for two weeks as usual and then we'll be back on January 5 with a brand new challenge.

I can't wait to see what you create with your pet images!!!

Not Just Cards Challenge # 07

Good morning and good Monday!

Here we are with a new challenge at Not Just Cards!

As usual it's Anything Goes so it's easy peasy, right?

This is my project for this challenge:

I chose tags this week with a super-cute image by Bugaboo Stamps called Two Snowmen.

I colored them with Copics and mounted on some blue tags decorated with a stripe of glittered tape.

We have some incredible sponsors with incredible prizes, so don't wait a minute and start creating!

I can't wait to see your projects!

Christmas Card Challenges # 52 - Inspiration Photo.

Good morning and welcome to a new Christmas Card Challenge!

This week we have an inspiration photo for you:

And this is my card:

I chose this sweet dinosaur from Doodle Dragon Studios and used a patterned paper I had in my stash. I was thinking about kids this time and this image is perfect for them! I imagine it was decorating the tree and then decided... it was too good...

I've chceked my teamies' cards and they are all so different yet very inspiring!

Happy Anniversary!

A bit late today with my post...

I've a new card to show you with Eat Cake Graphics stamps, one card with perfect colors for me: pink, pink, pink and some red!

They are the sweet couple from the Main Squeeze stamp, I've already made a card with them and yes, I adore this couple!

The other card had colors more suitable to an aged couple (you can read all about it here), I had fun imagining them in their sitting room.

This time I wanted hearts, pinks and reds, a card that says LOVE!

Papers are from Doodlebug, probably my fav papers ever! And of course, I colored them with my Copic markers.

Main Squeeze is available in Eat Cake Graphics shop both mounted and unmounted and if you want to read more about them, have a look here on Eat Cake Graphics blog.

Sorry, I Forgot...

* * This is my second post today, please scroll down to see my card for C.R.A.F.T. Challenges * *

Here I am again today to show you another card I've recently made:

He is Mr. Knickerbocker Doesn't Know again (you probably remember him from this card) and this time I opted for a common theme for men: sorry, I forgot... a birthday? An anniversary? Well, I think men always forget something...

He is from Eat Cake Graphics and I love him! I love his hair and his clothes too!

I chose an aperture card and a paper from Cosmo Cricket (Tea for two paper pad): I think it gives the idea of a vintage wallpaper, the one you can see in your granparents' house.

For the rest, this card is pretty simple, perfect for a man who has something to be forgotten...

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 287 - Picture.

Here we are with a brand new C.R.A.F.T. Challenge!

This time we have a picture to inspire you:

And this is my card:

She is the lovely Mandy and Sheeba digi stamp from Lacy Sunshine.

Papers are from the Linen Closet paper pad from DCWV and the image is colored with Copics.

You can check my teamies creations here on the challenge blog where you can also find all sponsors' details! The prize from Lacy Sunshine is 3 digis!

A great oppurtunity to do something different from a Christmas card or... maybe you manage to do a Christmas card inspired by the zoo!

I can't wait to see what you create!

My Sweet Monsters... Again!

* * This is my second post today, please scroll down to see my card for this week's Christmas Card Challenge * *

Well, yes... here I am again with my little monsters!

Yesterday I saw the new challenge over at Your Next Stamp and I immediately started my card.

Unfortunately, it was dark when I finished so I had to wait today for the picture.

This is the sketch to follow:

And this is my card:

I LOVE to keep these monsters in my hands!

They are part of the Silly Monsters 2 set of stamps and they are colored with Copics and mounted on a paper from Klouise Digtal Art on Etsy (clouds). The dotted paper was a piece of scrap paper.

For the moment, this set is the only I have from Your Next Stamp but... I won Challenge # 1 so I'll soon have some more sets to play with!!! It's been a great surprise!

Of course, this card is for Your Next Stamp Sketch and Color Challenge # 2.

Christmas Card Challenges # 51 - Color Challenge.

Good morning!

Ready for a new challenge? Well, this week at Christmas Card Challenges we have a great theme for you to play with: colors!

They are so beautiful, fresh and festive:

I used them in this card:

The image is AKV Elf - Ornament from Bugaboo stamps colored with Copics and mounted on a background paper from Toga.
Elves are another passion of mine for Christmas and I love when I have the opportunity to play with one of them!

My teamies have made such wonderful cards, have a look here and be inspired!
