Blue and Green at Crafty Ribbons

Happy Thursday morning to you lovely peeps!

Time once again for a new challenge at Crafty Ribbons.

Thanks for all your fabulous creations on our last challenge, you really are a crafty lot aren't you?

Please stop by the Crafty Ribbons Challenge blog and see if you were one of our handpicked top 3 or our Random Winner!

So, onto our new challenge.

Here is the fabulous prize you could win:

This time the challenge is:

BLUE AND GREEN

Now I know they say they should never be seen together but I actually quite like this colour combo.

So here is my project for this challenge:

I've used a Sugar Nellie image called Gingerbread for my card and coloured her with my Copics.

The backing papers are from a First Edition pad called Stocking Fillers.

And of course the fabulous ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons

And don't forget folks we are still running our Christmas Advent Event over on the Crafty Ribbons Inspiration blog.  You can still join in with all the fun as all the Linky's are open until 25th December and winners will be announced on 2nd January 2013.

I hope you all have a fabulous Christmas.

What's the date??

Hello bloggy friends.

Not long now until the Jolly Bearded man comes to pay a visit!!

So, it's Sunday again and that means it is time for a new challenge over at Totally Tilda.

This is our last challenge for this year and will last for four weeks until Saturday 12th January 2013.

So loads of time for you to have a wee play with maybe some new crafting goodies that Santa bought you??

Remember to stop by the Totally Tilda challenge blog and see who our lucky winner and top 3 were.  Could it be you???

So for the final time this year here is the new challenge:

A CALENDAR OR CALENDAR PAGE

(And don't forget it must have the lovely Tilda on it too!)

****************

This time our challenge is very kindly sponsored by

Sir Stampalot 

The Fantastic Prize is 2 Surprise Magnolia stamps. 

**********************************

So here is my Calendar for this challenge:

 Tilda is coloured with my Flexmarkers this time.  The clock is dusted with Pan Pastel's chalks.

 The ribbon I used for the hanger is of course from Crafty Ribbons.

 All the flowers are from my stash and mainly bought from Wild Orchid Crafts.

 The backing paper is from Magnolia.  The pink die cut shape was from a prize I received from the Anyone for Anya Challenge. 

 The dangly from the clock is an old earring.  

So there you have it folks.  

Just to remind you also that there will be no midway reminder post for this challenge and no comments from the DT either as our fabulous boss has given us time off over Christmas/New Year.  Thanks Susie. MWAH!!

However, that doesn't mean that we won't be stopping by your blogs to have a nosy at what you are up to, how else would we be able to choose a winner for this challenge?????

Can't wait to see your gorgeous creations peeps.

Have fun.

A Time of Reflection!

Hello bloggy friends. 
Well, it is Monday again and that means it is time for another fabulous challenge at Ooh La La Creations.  Firstly, please let me say a big thank you for all the entries that we had for the last challenge.  Please stop by the Ooh La La Challenge Blog to see who our lucky winners were.  Remember, there is no Random Org here, the Design Team take it in turns to pick their favourite and two runners up - so if you won it's because we loved your creation!!

So, onto the next challenge and this time it is:
REFLECTIONS

Now that can mean something with a mirror, a reflection in water or reflective thoughts, whatever Reflections means to you.  Just remember to point it out in your post what type of reflection you have used.
Here is the card I made for this challenge:

I have used images and DP from the Watercolour Memories CD which you can buy here.  This is a digital card which I have made using Craft Artist Professional 2.  I imported the images from the CD and manipulated them to make a reflection.  All the elements are digital too.  I'm getting to quite like this digital card making!
I hope you like it.  Please let me know what you think.

Please remember to stop by the rest of the Design Team and see their fabulous creations (links on the DT tab at the top of this page).  They have all worked really hard to offer you some inspiration, so please remember to leave them some love if you pay a visit.
