Ho Ho Ho

 I am not sure if this photo is slightly out of focus or if it is just the way my eyes are at the moment.  My apologies if it is actually out of focus.

Le'Ann's World - July Challenge
https://challengeleannsworld101.blogspot.com/2023/07/july-challenge.html

I have used a couple of papers from paper pads.  The image is from Le'Ann's World.

Cherish The Moments

 I combined two images to create a scene.  I felt the sentiment worked well with the scene that I created.

Beccy's Place - July Challenge
https://beccysplace.blogspot.com/2023/07/july-challenge.html

I have used a digital paper, two images and a sentiment from Beccy's Place.

Deep Into That Darkness

I was inspired by the sentiment to put the image on a separate tag so that it comes up from "Deep Into the Darkness".  Some times my mind goes to interesting places with images and/or sentiments and this was one of those times.

Totally Cats - Furrything Goes
https://showusyourpussies.blogspot.com/2023/06/challenge-90-furrything-goes.html

I have used some scraps from a paper pad.  The image is from Sheepski Designs and the sentiment is a clear stamp (I think this one came from a magazine some time ago).  Coloring is with copic markers.  I added some PeelCraft stickers to the background and some Glossy Accents to the ornament/bauble.

You make the world a better place

 This sketch was perfect for using up some paper pad scraps.  If I feel the inclination before the end of the month, I may do one or two more cards to use up some more.
