Butterflies and Sunny Days

We are midway through January so it is time for the second Anything Goes Challenge for 2022.  This time we are sponsored by The Paper Shelter


I have used an image and digital paper from The Paper Shelter called Little Butterfly.


I also used a digital sentiment from Create with TLC.  Colouring is with copic markers.

Joy

This week at CHNC, our optional twist is "Feature An Animal".  I went with the predictable route - a reindeer - because I had this lovely image printed out and wanted to use it.


I have used a digital paper from Nothing But Freebies.  I added some Wink of Stella to the reindeer on the paper.  The image is from The East Wind and the sentiment is from Create with TLC.  Colouring is with copic markers.

Upcycled Tag

This week at CHNC, our optional twist is Upcycle or Use Something Old.  I upcycled some packaging by cutting a tag from it.


I have used a digital paper from Little Scraps of Heaven.  The image is from Digi with It.  I also added some Christmas ribbon, twine and gold stars.

I Only Have Eyes For You

We are at the start of the first Anything Goes Challenge for 2022 at Jan's Digi Stamps.  For the month of January, there are also some stamp sets on sale.

I have used one of the new sets for January, which is called Only Have Eyes For You.


I also used a digital paper from Lozzy.  Colouring is with copic markers.

I am fairly certain I followed a fun fold tutorial for this card but now can't remember what it is called or whose tutorial that I followed so I can include the link.  I will continue looking through the You Tube tutorials that I have saved and add the link if I can find it.

I finally found the link to the Tutorial that I followed for an Angled Gatefold Card.  The tutorial is by Stamp with Lorraine.

Happy Holidays

 We are at the reveal of the cards sent during December for Card Chain Challenge.  I sent my card to Gundi in Germany.



This time we had a Tic Tac Toe:


I followed the left hand column.  I originally started following a different line so I also have fancy fold.

I used paper from a paper pad that I have had for many years which I only tend to pull out when I create fancy fold cards as the pad is 12 x 12 and usually not close at hand.  The gold is glitter cardstock.  The image is from Delicious Doodles and the sentiment is from Create with TLC.  I added brads to the centres of the snowflakes in the image.  

I received this card from Hilary.


I received the card a couple of days ago but life has been a bit hectic and I haven't let her know that it has arrived so I need to do that now!

Amore

We are at the start of 2022 and time for the first challenge for the year at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends.  As usual, the theme is Anything Goes.  For this challenge, we are sponsored by All Dressed Up.


I have used an image from All Dressed Up called Amore.


I also used some wide washi tape for the background.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I added some Wink of Stella to the heart in the image and some glitter heart stickers to the background.

Happy New Year

This week the optional twist remains at Any Christmas or New Year design.  Since this challenge falls on New Year, I have created a New Year's card this time.


I have used a digital paper from Lozzy.  The image is from Flat Friends.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also added some mesh ribbon, buttons and a pre-made flower embellishment.
