Merry Winter

Welcome back to another Crafty Gals Corner challenge.  There are a few things I need to let you know about before bringing on the inspiration.  You may have noticed, but the Crafty Gals Corner has gone through some changes.  The first is that our challenges have changed to biweekly.  In addition to being biweekly, the challenges are now always anything goes.  How great is that?!  That said, we will only have a top three no matter how many entries we have.

Now that the admin stuff is out of the way, on to the fun stuff.  My project for this week is very timely, as there is a chance for some winter precipitation here in my neck of the woods.  We aren't sure what form it will take, but it could happen overnight.  No one here really knows what to do!  I chuckle, because being from farther north, this doesn't seem like much of anything to me.  Schools and businesses have already decided to be closed tomorrow. 

This is Kitten from Oddball Art.  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  The snowflakes have a bit of clear Wink of Stella so they sparkle.  I used a little shabby pink Frantage on the wooden snowflake to give it some sparkle.  

You have a chance to win some fabulous prizes from our sponsors.  If you click a badge below you can check out what is available in the shop.

Let It Snow!

Only...not really!  Welcome back to another challenge at Crafty Sentiments Designs!  This week the challenge is snowflakes.  Add snowflakes to your project.  Crafty snowflakes are so much better than the real ones.  The real ones make it far too cold for me.  That's part of the reason we have moved down south!

For my project I used Snow Angel.  I wanted some frosty colors, so stayed with the lighter blues and purples in my Copic collection.  I added a bit of clear Wink of Stella to the snow in the angel, but of course that stuff is really hard to catch in a photo!  I took some Stampendous! shabby blue frantage, and applied it to a wooden snowflake that I had inked with a white craft ink stamp pad.  I love the way it turned out!

You have a chance to win some wonderful Crafty Sentiments images just for playing along!  If you are chosen as the winner and you used a Crafty Sentiments stamp, then you can win even more!

And I have some exciting news to share!  I have been asked to become part of the permanent design team!  That means I get to keep playing with these adorable images!  How could I possibly say no?!

I hope you will show us your snowy creations!  Remember to use snowflakes to play along.
