I Love Promarkers - Challenge 424 - Knitty Kitty

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

Christmas

And we are sponsored by Knitty Kitty and I've used the fab Knitted Kitty, coloured with Promarkers and added to a velum die cut circle (the half pearls are to hide the glue marks!)  I've used the other half of the papers from the last challenge - Snowtime Christmas 6x6 pack from Polkadoodles

The star is wooden and has been coated with glitter as I didn't like the silver pattern underneath!  I use glossy accents as I find the glitter then stays put and doesn't shed.  Good luck with the challenge!

I Love Promarkers - Challenge 423 - Paper Nest Dolls

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

Three Layers

And we are sponsored by Paper Nest Dolls and I've used Emma With Snowflakes Banner and used Promarkers to colour.  The papers are from Snowtime Like Christmas 6x6 pad from Polkadoodles and I've added ribbons and embroidery thread from my stash along with die cut snowflakes, half pears and a wooden snowflake (tied on with ribbons)

Good luck with the challenge!

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 219 - Anything Goes

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

Anything Goes

I've used papers from Polkadoodles Snowtime 6x6 paper stack and then layered the 10cm die cut letters onto kraft card and then onto the pages of the word book.  The smaller letters have been cut using off-cuts.  Added a hand written tag with twine plus half pearls.

Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodles Challenge - Anything Goes or Christmas Male

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

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to make a Christmas card for a male.  This is such a lovely image to use for those men in your life - this is Hollybobs Santa and I've coloured him with Promarkers plus glitter glue on the fur of his suit.  I've layered the image with some red card I had in my stash along with the backing paper from Snowtime Christmas 6x6 paper pack.  I have a thing for buying wooden tree decorations so I can use them on my cards - this was from a set I got from Tesco's (in the January sales, obviously!) probably 6 years ago!

Good luck with the challenge!

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 217 - Anything Goes

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

Anything Goes

I've used a very lovely Jellypark digi stamp, which sadly is no longer available; coloured with Promarkers.  Papers are from Polkadoodles - Snowtime Christmas 6x6 paper stack and I've added a wooden covered heart that I've had for ages in my stash along with the wooden snowflake (again, had for an age in my stash).

I've finished it off with a dotted line of liquid pearls around the image and edge of card and a burgundy bow.  Good luck with the challenge!

Frosty

Quick card made using Frosty The Snowman from Dr Digi, coloured with Promarkers.  I've used a paper from Snowtime 6x6 pack from Polkadoodles but had to piece it together as it wasn't long enough!  I've layered the paper onto some strips of silver card that I had and added a die cut snowflake and then a half pearl to the centre.

To finish, I've doodled a line around the edge of the patterned paper.  I'd like to enter the following:

Random Stash Items!

I've had a delve through my stash to find things that I'd either forgotten about or didn't know I had!  So here are a few!  I've used Prezzie from Dr Digi and coloured it with Promarkers.  I've used Snowtime 6x6 papers from Polkadoodles and added dotted lines of liquid pearls around the edge of the card and paper.

I found some fluffy fibres in my stash so added those and some large half pearls.  Smaller half pearls added to the vellum die cut circle.

Happy Christmas!  I'd like to enter the following:

Polkadoodles Challenge - Anything Goes or 6 Christmas Gift Tags

It's time for a new Polkadoodle challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to make 6 Christmas Gift tags with ribbon or string, so this is what I came up with!  I've used the largest Posydoodles Basics Oval die as the tag and stamped a sentiment on each, adding burgundy half pearls to the bottom.

I made a pillow box and added a strip of paper from Snowtime Like Christmas 6x6 paper pack.  To finish off the tag, I've added a wooden snowflake and some burgundy waxed cord in a bow.

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

Rub-A-Dub-Dub in the Christmas Tub

Merry Christmas Dr Digi fans!  Here is a card I made for a work colleague to give to her Husband for Christmas.  As it was their 35th Christmas together she wanted reminders of that year, hence the film posters hanging on the wall behind Rub A Dub Dub.

I've used Promarkers to colour plus papers from Polkadoodles - Snowtime Like Christmas 6x6 papers, made the floorboards myself and used some little glass fairy lights for decoration.  I'd like to enter the following:

Daring Card Makers - Christmas Decoration

Welcome to a new Daring Card Makers challenge!  The theme this week is:

Christmas Decoration

I've made a Christmas Tree table decoration which is actually a box and I've used papers from Polkadoodles - Snowtime Like Christmas 6x6 paper stack.  The large fancy snowflake die is also from Polkadoodles and I've used some burgundy card from my stash to cut it.

The half pearl and gold braid are from my stash and the bauble is from a pack of little ones I bought last year from Primark to add to gift boxes and it fitted the colour scheme well.  The bow on the top of the bauble is ribbon from my stash.

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

Bath Time Bernie

It's probably the world's worst kept secret that Bernie stands in as a double for Santa during the busy season!  Bath Time Bernie is a new digi release from Dr Digi; I've coloured him up with Promarkers and made a wooden floor with an offcut of kraft card and drew the floor boards myself.

Wallpaper is from Polkadoodles - Snowtime like Christmas 6x6 paper pack and the mirror is a die cut from silver card and I've added punched holly and the berries are little half pearls.
