Guest Designing for DIgital Delights

Hi, everyone! Happy Wednesday!

I am so excited! Today I am the Guest Designer over at the Digital Delights Blog!

I was very honored to have been chosen as a winner for their recent "Holiday Spirit Challenge", and as such, I was given the opportunity to Guest Design for them. :) I have been a long-time fan of the images that are available from Digital Delights, and have often been a challenge participant on their Challenge Blog, too. The images are just too darned cute, aren't they?!

I chose this adorable little elf image, Elf Marcie, for my challenge win prize, and I couldn't wait to color her! I went with some non-traditional Christmas colors for the card, as you can see. Sorry I can't tell you the paper brands" they are all from my stash. I do know that the two background papers were purchased from JoAnn, if that helps!

Elf Marcie is colored in PSE, and I added a few Stickles to her outfit to give her some 'magical' bling.

My Holly Flourish is from a Cheery Lynn die. I cut it out, then I clipped it into smaller pieces so I could layer it a little. I added some tiny purple rhinestones to it. That cute little gingerbread is actually a button that I clipped the shank off of. He is adhered with some Glossy Accents. 

Here is a closer look, at a slightly different angle, hoping to catch some of the shimmer and shine of the rhinestones and Stickles.

Bingo Saturday

It's Saturday, which means a new challenge over at Catch the Bug today! We are hosting our monthly B-I-N-G-O Card Challenge! 

Without further ado , here is this weeks Catch the Bug 

Bingo Card:

Isn't this BINGO Card the coolest?! So many choices!

You may choose three squares: horizontal, vertical, or diagonal!

I chose to the far right vertical column of requirements for my card this week (Pearl, Flower, Charm). 

My card features the Bugaboo Stamps Elf Candy Cane image. 

I recently picked up some papers at a Hobby Lobby sale, all from Paper Studio, and that is what I used on this card. I also used some AC card stock and Stampin Up card stock. I made my flowers from a Marianne Die called Mini Poinsettias. The sentiment was something Imade in my Silhouette Studio Software, as well as the doing a Print and Cut for my main image and doily layers. The smaller scalloped circles are from punches. The pretty bow charm was a gift from a friend a little while ago! :)

 There are more super Candy Cane Christmas images in the Bugaboo Stamps Store!

Friendship......

Hi, all!
Friends are the best-est, aren't they?! I don't think we tell our friends enough just how important they are to us, so when I saw this week's challenge theme for Pollycraft, Friends/Friendship, I knew what I had to do.......enter!!!! lol! It gave me a chance to put this card together that is going in the mail to a friend in the morning.

I fell in love with this image when I saw it here. I colored her in my PSE program, printed her out and added some 3D glitter paint to the snowflake she is holding, and some Stickles to her wings. I am so pleased with her.....she's adorable!
