Daring Card Makers - No Cards

Time for a new Daring Card Makers challenge and the theme this week is

No Cards

I've made this cute gift tag - I've cut the tag using a Sizzix die and added a dotted line of liquid pearls around the edge.  The snowflake is a glittery wooden tree decoration that I bought probably 8 or 9 years ago and have just got round to using it!

I've added some clear gems to the points and centre.  Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Polkadoodles Challenge - Time For A Party or Anything Goes

Welcome to a new Polkadoodles challenge!  The theme is

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged with the theme of Time For A Party so I've gone with Scruff Cupcake and coloured him with Promarkers.  I found some really old rub-ons in my stash that I've had from when I started crafting, around 15 years ago, so decided I'd better use them so that's what the sentiment is!

The papers are from Sticks and Bones collection and they are a left over from a previous project.  Buttons and embroidery thread from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!

Little Miss Muffet Challenge 203

Time for a new Little Miss Muffet Challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

I've used Holiday Truck and coloured it up with Promarkers, adding it to the card base with foam pads so it stands proud.  The sentiment die cut is from Clearly Besotted and for something a little different, I used a mountain die cut for the shaped top.

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

I Love Promarkers - Challenge 373 - Christmas

Time for a new I Love Promarkers challenge and the theme for this fortnight is

Christmas

I've used Reindeer Peeker and coloured with Promarkers plus coloured pencils on the background.  The papers are completely ancient - the brown is Pink Petticoat and I think it was probably the first crafting cd I ever bought about 14 years ago!  So the paper has probably been printed just as long!

The blue spotty paper I'm not sure where its from.  The glittery accents are from a freebie magazine pack from some years ago which I found when looking for something else!

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:
