I don't usually doodle - but I got carried away once I started on this one!

CRAFT Challenge - Christmas
http://trimmiescraftchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/challenge-315-11th-of-june-christmas.html

I have used a paper from MME for the background.  The image is from Gerda Steiner.  I coloured with copic markers and added some stickles.  The image and matt have been die-cut using two dies from a Spellbinders die set.  I also used some Christmas themed mesh ribbon and some olive green pearls from Rosie's Studio.

On The Farm

I've managed to find three challenges all sponsored by Deedee's Digis that inspired me to create this card.

Creative Ladybirds - Anything Goes
http://creativeladybirdscreations.blogspot.co.nz/2015/06/challenge-4.html

I have used some scrapbooking papers for the background.  The image is from Deedee's Digis and is coloured with copic markers and then die-cut with a Spellbinders die.  I used some grey cardstock for the matting - the matting for the image has been cut with a Spellbinders die.  The sentiment is from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.  I also used some yellow and white twine plus some Liquid Pearls.

Here is the sketch that I followed:

Christmas Book

When I bought some new sheets for the beds, they came with a folded cardboard in between.  I looked at the piece of cardboard and thought the shape looked like a book.  So all I have done with these is decorated them - the size and folds are as they were.

Penny's Paper Crafty - Use favourite embellishment
http://pennyschallenges.blogspot.co.nz/2015/06/welcome-to-pennys-challenge-231.html


I sprayed the cardboard "book" with Dylusions Ink.  The image is from The Paper Shelter and is sized to fit the front of the book with some room for embellishing the cover.  I coloured the image with copic markers.  The trees and "Joy" are dies from Memory Box which have been cut from glitter cardstock from American Crafts.   I have also used some other dies from Memory Box but cut these from glitter cardstock from DCWV.  I added some Liquid Pearls around the trees as falling snow and then five in a row at the top.

I don't really have just one favourite embellishment - I love my die-cuts (which I have used here) but I also love my mesh ribbon and my Stickles!

Blue Duck

I think he's been in the water too long and he's got cold!

I have used a paper and sentiment from a paper pad called Sandy Toes by Kaisercraft.  The image is from Dr Digi and has been coloured with copic markers.  I die-cut using a Spellbinders Beaded Oval die and then embellished that with some blue bling.  I also used a blue border die cut along with some blue flourishes.

He looks like he is enjoying his sledding too.

Hello

It's always nice to have cards that just say "Hello" - not for any specific occasion.  It's even better when you can find a cute image to use!

I would like to enter my card into these challenges:

From The Heart Stamps - Stamp of the Month
http://fromtheheartstamps.com/community/2015/06/06/free-stamp-of-the-month-june-2015/


I have used a paper from Heidi Swapp for the background.  It hasn't photographed well but it is a creamy colour with random patches of pinks and yellows.  I have used three different colours of washi tape for the four strips behind the image.  The image is the Stamp of the Month from From The Heart Stamps and is coloured with copic markers and then die-cut with a die from Spellbinders.

This is the sketch that I followed:
