Do what you love

The last day of the month of holiday cards at Beccy's Place and we get to do what we want.  I love this sentiment and hadn't had the opportunity to use it throughout the month!

I would like to enter my card into these challenges:

CHNC Patterned Paper - November Challenge
http://craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper.blogspot.co.nz/2016/11/craftyhazelnuts-patterned-paper.html

I have used a paper from a christmas paper pad by Kaisercraft.  The sentiment is from Beccy's Place with colour added using copic markers.  I matted with some textured green cardstock from American Crafts and also added three gems from Rosie's Studio.

Box for completed cards

I'm progressively decorating boxes to hold completed cards.  This one is going to be for floral cards which could be used for birthdays, just because or mothers day. 

I would like to enter my box into these challenges:

Imagine That - Anything Goes
http://www.imaginethatdigistamp.com/customer-gallery

I have used an empty hot chocolate box which I covered in gesso before painting with acrylic paint.  The image is from Imagine That and is coloured with copic markers.  I added some floral stickers from Pebbles.

Love Always

I've had this image coloured for a while as I was going to use it for a card for my parents' wedding anniversary.  I ended up not using it this year so have made a card ready for next year.

Create with TLC - Anything Goes
http://desiref.blogspot.co.nz/2016/11/atg-with-create-with-tlc-challenge-no5.html

I have used a paper, border and a sentiment from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.  The image is from Create with TLC and is coloured with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.  I added some white pearls to the border.

Digital Stamps

This one was an easy one for me as I more often than not use digital stamps - so much more versatile than rubber and acrylic stamps.

Dottie is baking

My second favourite colour is orange so when I see an inspiration picture with orange in it that is what I pull out of the picture!  My favourite Bugaboo images are the Dottie ones so I was able to combine two favourites here:

Extend your stamps

I thought this lady looked like she was carrying her carol books ready to go carolling for Christmas so I added a title of a christmas carol to turn this image into a christmas image.

Use a Freebie

Beccy has so many freebies to choose from, it was a very tough decision.  After looking at all her freebies, I was drawn to this one:

With a little help from my friends

I was originally looking for an image of a reindeer or elf but came across this gorgeous image of Mrs Claus so used that instead.  It looks like she has found a teddy bear that Santa misplaced.

Mirror Mirror

This card took a long time to make - mainly because I couldn't find where I had put the mirror card!  It also was the hardest to photograph!

Sweet

Ornaments

After almost getting up to date with my cards for the month long challenge at Beccy's Place, I have fallen behind again!  I started a new job on Monday and have been struggling a bit with the extra hours and new responsibilities.  I feel I have made some progress this evening with 2 cards completed!
