Fa la la la, It's challenge time!

It's Digi Darla day so head on over and join in the fun! The themes this month have been around the song 'deck the halls'. This week it's 'fa la la la la' use felt/wool in your project.

I've been trying to make a few masculine cards and came up with this card using the DigiDarla ornament #5 digi

I used a felt ribbon I scored from Michael's for under a buck, snowflakes from my SU stash, and glossy accents to add a shine to the ornament. I also added some gems to give it a little bling ;)

The challenges at Digi Darla's are going right through the holidays so make sure you check in each week.
This challenge will end on the 22nd and you can win 5 digis from the Digi Darla Design store.
I'll be checkin' in to see what you've made :)

Couldn't resist one more....

It's snowing, it's snowing! Maybe we will have a white Christmas. Something so special about snow at Christmas time. I used to love opening my presents then going tobogganing, coming in for hot chocolate, then convincing my mom is was okay if my clothes were wet-I could totally go out and play some more :)

The good thing about the snow falling (and so much of it falling so quickly) is I get to stay in and play-yeah!

After seeing this one in my stash I knew I had to print it, colour it with my copics and enter it into the Melonheadz friends challenge blog

I just love this digi from Melonheadz. I love how the wise men are in the window coming to Jesus.

I made the card to look like a picture frame and suppose the recipient could hang it on a doorpost or something if they wanted.
Thank you for stopping by , I appreciate your lovely comments :)

Christmas craftiness

I thought I'd show you an ornament craft I facilitated at a women's retreat last year. The picture doesn't do it justice, it is really lovely.

Scroll down for the info on how to make it

I purchased the flat round ornament from Michael's and the ribbon is from my stash. The nativity scene is a silhouette I found online and photocopied onto acetate.
 I cut the scene into a circle and punched a hole in the top, threading through fishing wire. You cannot see the wire but it is an important step so your image doesn't turn on you. You roll up your image and plop it inside using a popcicle stick/pen, etc to help straighten it out.

 The faux crystal beads were found at the dollar store and really make this ornament sparkle. After all that, the lid gets put back on and the ribbon added. Fairly easy, with a huge impact :)


Thanks for popping by

Time to Clear it Out!

It's challenge time at the Clear it Out Blog, with an Anything Goes theme. And what a great time to do that! You have to make room for your new toys right?

I made this card using Lacy Sunshine's 'Santa's Helper'
Lacy Sunshine is one of 3 fabulous sponsors at the CIO blog.

So cute! I added a felt snowflake and  pearls  to the card. I used my copic markers to colour her.

I do hope you''ll join in the fun. The challenge is in it's last week and there are 3 prizes to win!

I'd also like to enter this into the Lacy Sunshine challenge blog. After getting a chance to play with this cutie-I'd love a shot to win some more!!

It's Digi Darla Day!

Head on over to the Digi Darla Challenge Blog and join in the weekly challenge!

The theme this week is 'Santa or Snowman'

I used the Digi Santa and Mistletoe

I used a peek-a-boo type of card where the image is in the inside.
I layered up the front with red, green, and designer papers. I added a scallop on top of the circle for detail. I wanted the image to pop and didn't want to use the 'wrong reds' so I opted for graying the area around the digi. I think it did a good job at highlighting it.

The challenge runs for one week and you can win 5 digis-that's $15 dollars worth of goodies! Wouldn't that be an awesome Christmas present??

Can't wait to visit your blog and check out what you've created!

Digi Darla Challenge Day

Head on over to the Digi Darla Challenge blog and join in the fun! Not only is there a free digi to play along with, there are some awesome cards by the DT -you just have to check it out!

Here is a tag I made using the freebie

I used copics to colour the holly, a white gel pen to make the faux sewing and a SU ribbon from my stash. The sentiment and image where layered in word and printed. I cut out the back end of the image to make it appear like it was off the tag. Super quick and easy.

I hope you'll join us in the challenge. It runs for one week and you can win 5 digis from the Digi Darla Store!

See you tomorrow for the Clear it Out Challenge post!
