Christmas in July

I hope the weekend is going well, I can't believe it's Sunday evening already, where has the time gone??  As it has gone so quick I am a tad late with my DT card for Sentimental Sundays but it is still Sunday so it could have been worse lol.  This week our challenge is "Christmas in July" (+sentiment), HOORAY I hear you shouting, a chance to make a start on those Christmas creations :o)  We are sponsored by Dilly Beans & were lucky enough to get to chose an image to work with.  I chose this cute "Penguin in Scarf" & coloured him with ProMarkers.  I used some strips of digi papers (I have been trying to think of ways to use my scraps & I like the effect I think I will do this more).  I inked & added Glamour Dust to the edges of the image& finished off with a padded tree embellishment, die cut corners, digi greeting and a pompom.

Swirly Girly

This week's challenge at The Paper Shelter is "Swirly Girly" & The Paper Shelter have lots of gorgeous girly images to choose from so it is difficult to choose (well it would have been if my printer wasn't broken lol, so I had to choose one I had already printed).  I used "Cute Dressmaker" & coloured her with ProMarkers, the papers are Basic Grey, the sentiment is stamped with a magazine free stamp & I finished off with a stamped swirl, buttons & gems.

But even if you don't they will still give you 3 digi images of your own choice.
