Stampin for the Weekend are having a DT call & as I would love to be part of their team I thought I'd give it a go. This is my first easel card & I think I shall be making many more as they are very simple but look really cool :) I used papers from Designer Digitals, the Anya image is coloured in with Prismacolors & I added glitter & puffy stuff (can't remember what it is called but it's by Woodware lol). The finishing touches are some shiny cord, bauble greeting & festive flowers with gem.
This card fits 2 other challenges too:
I've had a lovely day off today my friend came round this afternoon & we watched It's a Wonderful Life (we watch it every year now, it's become a tradition) & drank tea & ate mince pies. The trouble is as I've said (many times) before there just aren't enough hours in days off or weekends so I haven't done half of what I wanted to do but I have had a great day none-the-less :)

I can't believe our week off has gone sooo quickly but it's been great & I've got lots of Christmas shopping. Luckily I had a few hours holiday left so I have tomorrow off too :) I'm putting the Christmas tree up (I know it's early & I usually wait til the first weekend in December but this will be my only chance & the grandchildren are coming next weekend so it needs to be nice & festive :) ).
I love Pink Petticoat images/papers & Liz has a challenge at the mo (but you've gotta be quick it finishes at the end of November, I've left it to the last minute as usual lol) to make a pillow box. I made mine (which is filled with some choccies) using Christmas papers which I've had ages & I use every year & Pink Petticoat's new images called "Have an Ice Christmas! which I adore!
The image is coloured with Prisacolor pencils & more Glamour Dust added. I finished off using my Martha Stewart border punch & some glitter paper.
I made this card with the Stamping for the Weekend sketch but it was too dark last night to get a photo & the challenge has finished now lol oh well... I used my sewing machine again & it was very difficult getting the ribbon to stay down at the corners despite the use of glue, sellotape & ds tape but I think it's secure now (hopefully). The image is from Charmed Cards & Crafts, the papers are from Designer Digitals, the sentiment is free from Pink Cat Studio, the flower is made with a Cuttlebug die & the finishing touches are ribbon, gems & a brad. I'm entering this card into the Creative Card Crew challenge which is "Favourite Things" (handbags).
The title is just how my precious little granddaughter Abigail would say it lol. I've used the Pink Petticoat penguins again, this time with a touch of green. The papers are from Designer Digitals I used my Nesties (again) & my EK Success border punch. I finished off with some gold sort of ribbon/fibre, a tag & the usual Glamour Dust.
This card was made using the Polka Doodles sketch & they want you to use brown too, Everybody Art's challenge is "Christmas" & Papertake's is "Christmas Crackers".
I love this download from Pink Petticoat full of cute little penguins, I am going to be using them lots I'm sure :) I coloured the image with Prismacolor pencils & added Glamour Dust. The papers are from my stash & inked around the edges. I finished off with die cut Christmas trees, a round greeting from Designer Digitals, a sticky ribbon & a brad.
We're off work this week so I'm hoping to really get sorted for Christmas & we're going to a Christmas Fayre this evening which I'm really looking forward to (I love Christmas lol).
