Morgan's Art World - For The Kids
http://morgansartworld.blogspot.co.nz/2015/09/challenge-7-for-kids.html

I have used some daisy patterned scrapbook paper for the easel.  The image is from Morgan's Art World and has been coloured with copic markers.  I added some Stickles -Diamond to the fairy wings.  I cut and layered a flower using a die from Elizabeth Crafts.  I cut the flower out twice in two colours and used all of both cuts (except the darker blue centre dot).  I added a bit of Stickles to some of the darker petals and also to the light blue centre dot.  I also added a string of pearls and rhinestones to act as the stopper.  I'm not sure of the source of the digital sentiment as I printed it out some time ago.  I was convinced it was from Create with TLC but can't locate it in that folder!

Midway point of the O Christmas Tree Challenge

Halfway through September which means we are at the midway point of the O Christmas Tree Challenge at 12 Months of Christmas Link Up.  Time for a little midway inspiration!   We are sponsored this month by Fresh Brewed Designs.  All entries that follow the optional theme are eligible for the prize - so why not include a Christmas tree in your card.

I have used the image called Striped Tree along with a paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.

I also used some Christmas mesh ribbon, some glitter domes and a tag from Teresa Collins.

Good Luck

Time for a new challenge at Scribbles Designs and for this month we are focussing on "Good Luck".  I have used Brrr-ubbles and Good Luck.  I have only used part of the Good Luck sentiment which Sandy kindly did up for me.

I also used a paper from MultiCraft.  I added some blue ric-rac from American Crafts and some light blue rhinestones.  Matting is with blue pearlescent paper.

Digi Images Only at Incy Wincy Designs

I am really behind this week!  Anyway, there is still time to enter the Digi Images Challenge at Incy Wincy Designs.  That's right - no rubber stamps allowed.  This week we are sponsored by Dr Digi's House of Stamps.

I have used the image called Surfin' Santa.  Very appropriate for here as we have Christmas in the summer months!

I have used  a spotty paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.  The sentiment and border are from the same paper pad.  I coloured using copic markers.  I also added some pearls from Rosie's Studio.

Sneaking some Christmas candy

I think this owl is sneaking off with one of the candy canes from the tree - and who can blame him!

Crafting For All Seasons - Layer it Up
http://craftingforallseasons.blogspot.co.nz/2015/09/challenge-110.html

I have used a background paper from Kaisercraft.  The image is from QKR Stampede and is coloured with copic markers before adding some Glossy Accents to the candy cane and some Stickles to the hat.  The sentiment is from the same paper pad as the background paper.  I matted both the sentiment and the image onto textured cardstock from DCWV.  I also added a Christmas star shaped eyelet to the sentiment tag and then threaded through some red rope ribbon.

Thank You Teacher

The challenge that I created this for is a "Back to School" challenge but for us in New Zealand we are nearing the end of our year.  Back to School isn't until February.  And I really need some Thank You Teacher cards right now.  So, I'm hoping that my slight twist on the theme is acceptable!

Chocolate Coffee and Cards Challenge - Fancy and Feminine
http://chocolatecoffeecards.blogspot.co.nz/2015/09/challenge-99-fancy-feminine.html

I have used a patterned paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft called "Needle and Thread".  The image is from The Paper Shelter and has been coloured with copic markers.  The sentiment is from Bird's Cards.  I die-cut the image and sentiment using a faux stitching die from Memory Box.  I used some sewing themed dies (can't find the packet they came in so not sure of the brand!).  I also used some bakers twine to hang the sewing machine charm.
