Crimbo Crackers Challenge 223 - Anything Goes

It's time for a new Crimbo Crackers challenge and the theme is

Anything Goes

I've made some little boxes using a die and a few sheets of kraft card.  The bits that were left over, I made some snowflakes using the Polkadoodles Fancy Snowflake die, cutting them twice for each box for extra strength and adding half pearls to break up the colour.  I've used organza ribbon from my stash to keep it all together.

Good luck with the challenge!

Treadmill Tina

2020 was the Year of the Chair - sat down way too much due to working from home since mid March and all amenities being within a few steps.  But I had a word with myself in late summer and managed to stick to a reasonable daily calorie intake and have managed to get some exercise done too.  And I intend to continue into 2021 (plus I've signed up to some digital challenges on Strava so need to make sure I don't fail!)

Treadmill Tina is from Dr Digi and she's been coloured with Promarkers - I've actually had her printed in my stash for quite some time and I'm determined to use up what I have already (they are in plastic folders awaiting my attention) before I print anything new.  Papers are even older and are from Funky Hand which sadly are no longer available.

I don't like to throw away any scraps hence the titchy bits making up some bunting at the top.  Handwritten sentiment.

Christmas Sweater Seth

I remember always getting clothes that were too big for Christmas. "You'll grow into it" was always the comment!  But poor Seth will possibly not grow into this!  Made using Christmas Sweater Seth from Dr Digi and coloured with Promarkers plus a sentiment from the Christmas Sentiments Sheet 01.  Paper is a really, really old one I found in my stash and went with the colours I'd used.

Eat Cheese

As a vegetarian, I could not resist this sentiment.  Made using Tough Turkey from Dr Digi and coloured with Promarkers.  I've recycled an old Graze box from a few years ago as its really nice thick card and the patterns and colours are always useful!

I've stamped the sentiment using an alphabet set and the half pearls are from my stash.

Polkadoodle Challenge - Anything Goes or Christmas Sentiments

It's time for a new Polkadoodle challenge and this week the theme is

Anything Goes

I'm trying to use up stuff I already have in my stash so this is where the wide satin mint green ribbon comes in - it was a donation from when my cousin got married (nearly 9 years ago) and it was left over from making her Wedding invitations!  It went perfectly with the paper from Holly Jolly.  I've triple cut the Merry Christmas die from left over scraps of card and its hung on the aperture with a strip of acetate recycled from a school shirt packaging.  The circle has been cut using the smallest Posydoodles Basics Circles Dies

Good luck with the challenge!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 50 - Dr Digi

It's time for a new Colour Crazy Challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Dr Digi and I've used Three Wise Men, coloured with Promarkers and added a computer generated sentiment.  The papers are from my stash along with the ribbon and a wooden spotty star that matched the papers.

Good luck with the challenge!

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 222 - Anything Goes

It's time for a new Crimbo Crackers challenge and the theme is

Anything Goes

I've used a Tinsel Tots decoupage sheet and I found a really old stack of Christmas paper in my stash - its probably about 12 years old and is an 8x8 paper pack.  A simple wooden snowflake has been added and that's it!

Good luck with the challenge!

Daring Card Makers Challenge - Animal Antics

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week is

Animal Antics

I've used another of the Lili of the Valley squares which seems to be no longer available but the digi stamp is on the website.  Papers are from my stash and I've added die cut snowflakes, one layered on a wooden star.

The sentiment is a Sizzix die cut and I've added a charm and embroidery thread from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!

I Love Promarkers - Challenge 425 - Digi Doodle Studios

It's Wednesday so time for a new I ❤ Promarkers challenge!  The theme this fortnight is

Anything Goes

And we are sponsored by Digi Doodle Studios and I was lucky to use the Christmas Carolers digi which I've coloured with Promarkers and glitter glue on the fur.  I've typically kept it simple and added an embossed background (Sizzix) and a red ribbon bow with the tag printed on my computer.

Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodles Challenge - Anything Goes or Christmas Gift

It's time for a new Polkdoodles challenge and the theme is

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to make something to hold a Christmas Gift, using kraft and ribbon.  I've used a sheet of A4 Kraft card to make the gift box and then to hold it shut, I've made a band from an offcut of printed paper and added a thin strip of red ribbon around the middle.  The topper was cut using one of the Stitched and Pierced Nesting Circle dies and then with kraft off-cuts I used the Holly and Spruce die to make the leaves.  The berries are recycled from fancy crackers we had a few years ago - they were too nice to throw away!

Good luck with the challenge!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 48 - Polkadoodles

It's time for a new Colour Crazy Challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Polkadoodles and I've used this cute Snowmen and Dog digi.  Coloured with Promarkers plus added glitter to the fur bits on the bobble hats.  Papers are from my stash - stuff I've had for such a long time and are trying to use up!

Computer generated sentiment and layered die cut snowflakes with everything else from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 221 - Anything Goes

It's time for a new Crimbo Crackers challenge and the theme is

Anything Goes

I've used a cute digi stamp from Bugaboo - Three Winter Penguins which has been coloured with Promarkers plus glitter glue on the fur on the hats and glossy accents on the eyes.  I've layered onto red card, stamped the sentiment and added a red bow and a wooden snowflake to finish.

Good luck with the challenge!
