Catch a Star

 

 Closer, closer, closer... Christmas is sneaking right up on me so this is probably going to be my last post until after the big day.  I have a ton to do and the days are flying by.
Another Wednesday and the last challenge at the Whimsy's Inspiration Challenge Blog until the new year.  For this challenge, your task is to create a project with a charm and add a sentiment.  I used Lia's 'Leah Catch a Star' digi and  the sentiment is from Whimsy's Magical Mini Letter Seals.  I haven't had that sentiment set for very long but it is so versatile and I've used it a few times already.  The checked paper is My Mind's Eye and the gold and floral is Prima.  I used a Sizzix die for the star and the button and charm were found in my stash.  Copics were used to colour the image and Stickles for some glam in the stars.
Be sure to head on over to the Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the DT have created.  ... speaking of design team, I wanted to mention Whimsy Stamps has a some new gals on the digi design team so you'll be seeing them in the new year.  Exciting stuff!!!

Scrooge!

 It's Sunday and that means it's time for another challenge at Kenny K's Krafty Girlz and this week's theme is Christmas hues of blues.  This image is Kenny K's Scrooge and it just cracks me up when I look at it!  The only fitting sentiment I could think of  was 'Bah Humbug' and I know the perfect person for this card.  In addition to winning five of Kenny K's digis, the winner will also receive a $15 voucher from Michelle's Scrapbooking and More.   My term as a designer on Kenny K's Krafty Girlz team  is finished and although I'm saddened by it, I've decided not continue for the same reason most of us have for doing or not doing anything... wow, life is so, so busy!  I do want to extend my thanks to all the Girlz on the DT, Kenny K, Elena, Donna and Sarah Louise.  It was a fab ride and I'm going to miss it but I've got to wind some things down.
Onto the card.... The papers are from a fabulous collection of Bo Bunny's called Snowfall which I purchased as a 6 X 6 pad from One Crazy Stamper.  I've coloured the image with Copics and stamped around the edges with a little flourish stamp I have and some distress ink.  The snowflake is cut with a Sizzix die and the brads are Basic Grey.
Have yourself a good week!
