Merry Christmas

This is the second of my cards using the BINGO rows at Catch The Bug.  This time it is the centre row of Players Choice (Red) + Bugaboo Image + Ribbon.

Beccy's Place - Month of Holiday Cards - R is for Red
https://beccysplace.blogspot.com/2020/11/day-21-r.html

I have used a paper from a paper pad by MME.  The image and sentiment are from Bugaboo Stamps.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also added some Glossy Accents to the candy cane and inked the sentiment with Distress Ink.  I added a doily under the image.

W is for ...

I am returning to a fold that I used in a previous year.  Last time that I did this fold I wasn't totally happy with how it turned out.  I've really wanted to have another attempt at it but I was wary of doing so.  This time, I'm pleased with how it turned out.

The front of the card:

Make It Merry

Here is another card using an offcut piece of cardstock as well as an offcut of patterned paper.

I am trying to make each of my cards that I am entering into Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards that use an image not from Beccy's Place still fit the alphabet prompts.  I had a few options on this one but decided to go with the predominant colour of green.

CRAFT Challenge - Christmas
https://trimmiescraftchallenge.blogspot.com/2020/11/challenge-577-christmas.html


I have used a digital paper from Create with TLC.  The image is from Morgan's Art World and the sentiment is from Beccy's Place.   Colouring is with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.  I added a couple of gems to the sentiment panel.

Just For You

 Today has been totally un-Springlike.  We had thunderstorms start late morning.  Earlier this afternoon we had heavy rain and hail.  I had the computer off during the thunderstorms and ended up piecing together the remainder of my scrap offcuts.  I think I still have a couple of pieces that I haven't used but now have several backgrounds put together.    I have started constructing the mini cards and this is the first one finished.  I have printed out images and sentiments for the others but haven't coloured them yet.'

I missed out on the race today at Beccy's Place - came in about 14th or 15th I think.  But that same card ended up being one of the random lucky numbers that Beccy selected before the challenge started.  This is the first time I've won a lucky number since Beccy started doing them.  Last year I was one or two off nearly every time and up until today I was way off this year.  

The rain has just stopped again so I may not do much more work on the Mini cards today - although the way the weather has been today going for a walk may be too risky!
