The Merry Christmas Challenge ~ 2018 #1

Hi Crafty Friends,
Time to keep going (or start fresh) with your holiday cards!!! I'm having so much fun with The Merry Christmas Challenge because it's actually keeping me on top of my holiday cards.  I send well over 60 and I want them all to be handmade. So, let's get started with cards for 2018.   This year our challenges will have an optional theme. This week's theme is Happy New Year. You don't have to follow the theme to enter - you'll find that sometimes I won't either. So here's my first card for 2018.

This adorable snowman is from Digi My World and I colored him using Copic Markers.
Follow the link above to join our challenge and stay on top of those holiday cards. An added bonus - you don't have to put away your Christmas papers and goodies LOL.

The Merry Christmas Challenge #36

Hi Crafty Friends, I LOVE that I'm getting some of my Christmas cards finished earlier than I usually do.  Being a member of this team sure helps! Here's my card.

Even though I live in California with lots of sun, I still love snowmen.  I have quite a collection that I display at Christmas.  This adorable digi is from Digi My World.  I used Copic Markers to color him.  A red sparkle heat embossed sentiment and a snowflake from Cherry Lynn is all this card needed. I invite you to visit The Merry Christmas Challenge to see even more cute creations and then link your Christmas project.  Remember, it does not have to be a card - any Christmas craft.  You'll find a new challenge with design team inspiration EVERY Wednesday.

Pirate Booty

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's my turn to post for Digi My World.

I've made this cute little treat bag using Ahoy Pirates (William).  He comes in a set with lots of images to choose from.

I fussy cut the image after coloring him with Copic markers and put him on the Ticket Book die from Jaded Blossom.  I used a sentiment from JB's Pirate Booty set and heat embossed it onto a label from the Labels Die set.  The papers are from an older DCWV stack called All About Boys.  After inking the patterned paper, I added some twine and a brad.  I stapled everything to a treat bag filled with "pirate booty."

Must.Have.Coffee.

Hi Crafty Friends

It's my design team day at Digi My World.
  Today I'm sharing another image from the Kawaii Coffee set.  This is such a fun set with so many options.

Isn't this a fun little treat box filled with Werther's Coffee Caramels?

It would be fun to slip in a coffee gift card too.

Along with the Kawaii Coffee set I also used:

Jaded Blossom

  Border Dies, Dimensional Banner Dies, Java Time stamp set and a Gable Box.

Also, Copic Markers and Glossy Accents.

Black Cat Kisses

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's my turn to post for Digi My World.

I just love the No Fraidy Cats set.  All of the little witches are so adorable.
Here's my card using one of them.

I've used papers from Doodlebug Designs.  The colors and patterns are so yummy.  My little witch is colored with Copic markers and cut out using Jaded Blossom's stitched circle die.  I also used JB's flag dies.  The sentiment is from JB's Halloween Poop 2 stamp set.  I added some sequins and gems for the cat's eyes and called it done.

Thanks for stopping in today.

Surf's Up!

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's my design team day at Digi My World.

Here's my card using Surfer Boy Corey.

My daughters laugh when I tell them that I used to surf waaaaaay back when!  And, my hair looked almost the same color; dark roots and sun bleached tips.  Of course, then, we used to rub fresh lemon in our hair to get it to bleach.  Awww, the good ole days.

I used Copic markers to color the image.  The papers are from the Carta Bella 6x6 Beach Boardwalk pad.  All I added was a twine bow

Thanks for taking a look.

Happy B-Day

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my design team day for Digi My World.
 I hope you're having a Bee-utiful day!  Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Here's today's design team project:

This little Bee just makes me smile.  I remembered I had this honeycomb embossing folder and the Jaded Blossom stamp set, Love Stings so it just came together as a clean and simple card.  Some organdy ribbon, Scrapper's Spool twine, gems, and one of the JB Mini Tag Dies 2 and it was all good.
