Hugs!!

Welcome back to another challenge at the Li'l Patch of Crafty Friends.  All of our challenges are anything goes so it is super easy to play along.

I used this super sweet image, Bear Hugs Teddy from the Jennifer Nilsson line at Miss Daisy Stamps.  Jennifer's images are all so adorable!  The teddy was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  The background paper and the sentiment were a panel on a sheet of scrapbooking paper.  I couldn't believe how perfect the colors and sentiment were for this project!

Our sponsors for this challenge are below.  Pop over to look at the shops and give them a little love for sponsoring the challenge.

For my project I used Bundled Up Moose from Eureka Stamps.  I guess I was still in Christmas mode when I colored him.  I decided to go with more masculine colors and I think it works well for this moose.  He was colored with Copic markers.  The die I used was a Christmas present from my daughter.  She made me a happy mama!

A Gift for You

It is my turn on the MoonFlower Blog and I have used the newest release, Gigi's Gift for my inspiration project.

Since I was posting after Christmas, I stayed away from Christmas colors to make her a fun birthday card.  I colored Gigi with Copic markers and cut her out using the Silhouette Cameo.  Her gift was colored using silver and gold Wink of Stella for some awesome shimmer!  The die was cut from some wonderful gold metallic paper that has so much shine in real life.  I wish you could see it for yourself.

Andreia is creating a brand new member to the MoonFlower family.  If you are curious, join the Moonflower Facebook group.  She will be releasing peeks there occasionally.  I can't wait to meet the new member!

Merry Christmas!

Hello and Merry Christmas!  If you don't celebrate Christmas, then I hope you are enjoying whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of the year!  Seems strange to be in a place where it is 71 degrees on Christmas.  This is our first year celebrating down south, and I am struggling to wrap my brain around it.

If you haven't visited the Rubbernecker Blog today, you need to.  The entire design team created a special Christmas project to share today.

For my project I used Mr. Stix for my main image, but I also used Watercolor Stripes for my background.  The sentiment is May the Joys and can be found in the shop as well.  Mr. Stix was colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  I kept the embellishments simple on this one.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with love and happiness.

Merry and Bright

Wow!  Can you believe Christmas is so close?!  Over on the Rubbernecker Stamps blog I shared another Christmas project.

This is Moose With Lights and he was colored using Copic Markers.  The sentiment can also be found in the Rubbernecker Stamps store.  I fussy cut the moose.  I really, really need to learn how to use my PixScan mat for my Silhouette!

Be sure to pop over to the blog on Christmas Day, because the entire team has created a Christmas project to share with you.

Here We Go A'Caroling

Whew!  It's a whirlwind week leading up to Christmas and it is time for another challenge at the Creative Knockouts.  This week the theme is Christmas Delight.

For my project, I used the Christmas Carolers set from Melonheadz designs.  I merged 5 of the carolers into one image to create this card.  They were colored with Copic markers and I used the Silhouette to cut them out.  The lamppost and the sentiment are also from the set.

Melonheadz is our sole sponsor and you could win one image bundle for playing along.  And let me tell you...they are jam packed!  Click on the badge below to wander through the shop and have a look.

Thanks for stopping by.  I have to run and keep going with my preparations!  I am so far behind!

Cocoa or Coffee?

Hello everyone!  Time for another Crafty Gals Corner challenge.  Every challenge this month is anything goes to keep it nice and simple during this crazy, crazy time of the year.

I used Cup of Cocoa by Star Stampz, however...I am a bit partial to coffee so I decided she was really drinking coffee and ran with it!  This little cutie was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I also printed the sentiment using a Silhouette cut.  I popped in to see what was new in the store and saw the sentiment!  It was absolutely perfect for this image so I had to have it!  Good thing they are running a sale of all winter and Christmas cut files!

We have two fabulous sponsors for you this week.  Click the badges below to go shopping.
