I have used this gorgeous Rudolph image from there. As usual I have coloured him with promarkers and added lots of stickles. I've kept the card fairly CAS using papers from MME 12 days of Christmas pad and just added a piece of ribbon that I coloured red to match I tied a couple of small jingle bells to the bow and used a sentiment to match from Craftwork Cards.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Meljen's Challenge - Christmas

Christmas James

 Here's a quick christmas card I made before I was poorly, I used this cute James the Bear stamp from Lili of the Valley coloured of course with promarkers. I added some crystal stickles to his tinsel and glossy accents to the star and the baubles. I think I used a sakura stardust pen on the star under the glossy accents. The DP is from the free MME pack which came with a craft magazine. I punched the red paper with my fiskers border punch and added some little ribbon tags and a sentiment from craft work cards to finish it off.

Centre Step Card

 I've made this centre step card for my FIL birthday, I used these instructions to make the base, so easy you wouldn't believe. The DP is from a paper cellar pad.

 I've used this incredibly cute stamp set from Kanban this one is called Wooly Bears - Hamish. I've coloured him with promarkers and used a sakura silver pen on his buttons. This set comes with loads of accessorie stamps so I have used the thistle stamp to decorate the side panels, I stamped directly onto the DP and coloured them with my promarkers.

I've used this cute little witch from Digital Delights and coloured her with promarkers adding some black glitter to the bat in her hair. I then mounted her on some foam pads onto some circles cut with my nesties. I added some writing and faux stitching with a white gel pen.



Recycling at Incy Wincy

 Sorry my post is late I forgot all about writing it, my excuse is I'm not very well, I've got a nasty chest infection and suspected pleurisy so I'm feeling very sorry for myself at the moment. Anyway onto this weeks challenge at Incy Wincy which is Recycling and is sponsored by  Prairie Fairy. So, you can alter an item, or use something recycled on your project. Please say what has been recycled, so we can easily see it. I've made a desk calender from a CD Case. The papers are from Basic Grey and the calender tab is an Anitas one which I got from The Range.

 I have used this cute image from Prairie Fairy called Cowgirl Gilly who I have coloured with promarkers, I've added glossy accents to her glasses and used liquid pearls for her buttons.

I found this fantastic sentiment which I thought was perfect for a calender on this blog which i printed out onto some of the Basic Grey paper.

GDT at Whimsey Stamps Challenge Blog

I have been asked to be GDT at Whimsey Stamps this week where the challenge is Die Cuts & Punches. I have used this super cute image Christmas Cheer Deer which I have coloured using my promarkers, I have added glossy accents to his nose, antlers & hooves. I've used red flock on his bow so it looks velvety and added sparkle to the bell with a sakura pen. I've mounted him on to some green card cut with my nesties, which I embossed around the edge and again glittered with a sakura pen. The papers are MME 12 days of christmas, I have actually only used one sheet of paper just switched it round at the bottom. I've used a woodware border punch to hide the join in the papers and again glittered all the edges of green card with my sakura pen
