Sentimental Christmas

WOW it is December tomorrow - my Christmas stuff is down out of the attic. The first lot of the advent presents have been wrapped and hung out and my trees are on the relevant floors (albeit still in their boxes). AND I have the works Christmas do tomorrow - no idea what I am going to wear!!!

However, right at this moment I need to tell you all about our new challenge over at Aud Sentiments. This will be our last challenge of the year and the theme is Christmas.

This is a great opportunity to finish your last minute Christmas cards. And if you are just getting started, don't forget you can enter the challenge up to 5 times as long as each project is different.

You can make any type of project you want for this challenge such as a card, tag, scrapbook layout, altered item, pocket letter, box, etc.  Just make sure you follow the theme and include a sentiment.

                                We are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps

I have used a sentiment image from Bugaboo, but I was unable to find it in the shop to pop the link in here (I may just be being blonde, so please do have a look yourselves!)

I coloured the image using Promarkers in traditional colours and mounted to a gold card blank. I then used some washi tape that I purchase from Aldi just the other day, down the right hand side of the card to add further glimmer to the card. As the image is the sentiment itself I did not add a further sentiment - although I will add a 'Merry Christmas' or similar to the inside once I find one that I like enough lol.

I would like to add this card into the following challenges:

C4C413 - Christmas or Winter

Sweet Stampin' - Favourite Christmas Colour - who doesn't love traditional!

MMM #60 Happy Christmas

jingle belles - Baby it's Gold outside

Winter Wonderland - Traditional Christmas colours

Christmas @ Sweet stampin' - Anything Christmas Goes

I also have some photos of Simba to share with you. I would love to say cute pictures but I do not think he fits into that category lol.

Lazy maybe hehehe. But I do also have a photo of a more active viv friend lol - Simba thinks he is his pet.

Thank you for looking,

Prancing Piggy

Welcome back to my DT post for our new challenge at Creative Moments. As always it is Anything Goes, however our twist for #132 is Pretty in Pink (can't wait to see your interpretations!).

Our fabulous sponsors for this challenge are

RSD

Who are offering 2 images to the winner

Polkadoodles

Who are offering £9/$15 Voucher to the winner

I have used Pretty Piggy from Rick St Denis for my card, and isn't she fun?!

I used a pale pink base card, of course!, and coloured the image using both Promarkers and metallic pencils. The flowers and blue of the hat are metallic pencils, the boa bits are metallic pencil topped with Promarker and the pig herself is Promarkers.

I die-cut the image, once again using the M&C stitched square die and layered this onto a border of glitter washi tape. I found a great sentiment in my topper stash, which was not only pink, but was perfect for my partying piggy!!!

I would like to enter this creation into the following challenges:

Simon Says...Wednesday - Anything Goes

Less is Moore #356 Let it shine

CCM #201 Animal Magic

crafting by design - Anything Goes
CAGI - Animals

I would also like to share a fish tank update - over 176hrs

Winter Sparkles

Hi there, 

It is time to welcome you to a new challenge over at I Love Promarkers. Our challenge theme for #348 is Autumn/Winter, which should be nice and easy at this time of year - lots of inspiration outdoors :). 

Our sponsor is  

The Paper Shelter

The Prize for the lucky winner is

3 digital stamps

How you interpret this is completely up to you, as long as you make sure you follow the theme and you MUST use either ProMarkers, FlexMarkers, AquaMarkers or Trias on your work. If not your entry will not count towards the prize.

I have used FairyChristmas Eve  on my wintery card:

I coloured the image with Promarkers, but I forgot to note which ones I used! I added soem glitter glue to the snow and the hat.
I used M&C stitched square nesting dies to cut the image panel (from the Works). I then used a Tonic studios heart die with white glitter self-adhesive paper from X-cut to make the frame. Finally I added two foam snowflakes to the bottom. I thought this was nice without adding a sentiment, but will add one to the inside once a recipient is chosen.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
