Merry Christmas

I managed to find some time to create today.  Funny how that makes me feel that much more under control!

The Outlawz Tuesday Colour Challenge
http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/tuesday-color/forum/topics/color-challenge-february-28-2017

I have used cardstock from American Crafts and some left over pieces of patterned paper.  The image is from Bugaboo Stamps and is coloured with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.  The sentiment is also from Bugaboo Stamps.  I also used some textured cardstock for matting.

Free Snow

We are midway through the challenge at Scribbles Designs.  The theme for this challenge is Baby It's Cold Outside.

I have used an image called Snow Sign and a paper called Freebie Friday: Snowflakes Digi Paper.

I also used some red cardstock for matting, snowflake embellishments, a snowman embellishment and some blue gems.  Colouring is with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.

Merry Christmas from CHNC

I am a couple of days late with my inspiration card for the March challenge at CHNC Extra!  I have hardly been home the past couple of days - March is my busiest time at work.  I have had a bit of time to catch my breath today!  Anyway, let's have a look at my card for this month's challenge:

I have used an image from Bugaboo Stamps called BUGWINTERKIDCAT.

I also used a paper from a christmas paper pad by Rosie's Studio.  I added some red corrugated paper strips.  The sentiment is also from Bugaboo Stamps.  Matting is some green pearlescent cardstock.

It's your birthday again?

I don't often make humourous cards - but being swamped with work at the moment I needed something a bit lighter in my creations!  About another four weeks of long hours at work with only the occasional days that I can fit some crafting in!

QKR Stampede - Birthday
http://qkrstampede.blogspot.co.nz/2017/02/qkr-stampede-challenge-232-anything.html


I have used a paper from a paper pad by Provocraft.  The image and sentiment are from QKR Stampede.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also used some gem stones and a glitter star embellishment.

Season's Greetings

This is my first DT card for the new Challenge Blog Season's Greetings.

I thought it was appropriate for my first card to use the sentiment "Season's Greetings" to tie in with the challenge blog name.  My image is from Bugaboo Stamps and is coloured with copic markers.

I also used a paper from Graphic 45, some corrugated paper border and dome stickers.

Birthday Cupcake

I am still swamped with work but managed to find time to join in the challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  I'm hoping to at least manage this one through March but I know that might not even be possible!  There is just not enough hours in the day during February and March!
