The Paper Shelter Christmas - "Anything Goes" Challenge

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, I do hope you thoroughly enjoyed our "Special Celebration" Blog Hop and I will be announcing the winner of my comments shortly but I do want to thank all those that took part and left me such lovely comments.
Todays Challenge is a "Anything Goes" one and its the last Challenge for The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot for this year and it will be a 3 week one and there will not be any comments left on your work so I do hope you understand as the Design Teams are going to be taking a well earned break from it and will be spending time with their families, and I want to wish them all a wonderful Christmas.
And now as always our wonderful sponsors are Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30. to spend on their website

and this is providing you have used one of their products on your card, and this could be either a image, paper or printable and you will find there here on their website, but even if you do not use one of these they will still give your three images of your own choice, and that is such a wonderful prize and so generous.
Anyway here is the card I created for this Challenge, hope you like it.

This is such a stunning image she is called "Hope" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card and coloured her with my copic pens, I then used a Rectangle die from Nestabilitie and then used the Snowflake Die from Wild Rose Dies this was cut out of blue card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" and I used a piece of the same blue card for the mount and the backing paper is the one that comes with this beautiful image and you will find it here. I then placed my mounted image in the middle and the sentiment I used is one from my stash and I have mounted it onto another piece of blue card and placed in the bottom right hand corner. To finish of I have used 6 small pearls in the top right and bottom left hand corners.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the Design Teams have created for your  inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "Anything Goes" Challenge. And please dont forget we will be back on January 7th for a brand new Challenge.

ABC Challenges - "Y is for Yuletide"

Good Morning Crafters, well here we are in December I wonder if like me you are thinking where has this year gone, it doesnt seem like yesterday when we were preparing for the last one and here we are only weeks away to this years Christmas.
Anyway as you can guess this fortnights Challenge over on ABC Challenge Blogspot the theme is to celebrate the time of year and its "Y for Yuletide" and we are being sponsored by The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of spend on their website

and as I work for The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot I was lucky to be able to choose any of their gorgeous images and this was the one I chose.

This little chap is titled "A marshmellow for the Christmas Elf" and you will find him here, I have printed him onto white card then coloured him with my copic pens, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Labels Die No.1 to cut him out and a fancy one for the mount.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red  card, the paper I have used is the backing paper that came with the image and I have stuck this on the first mount. I then placed my mounted image in the center on a angle, and I then used some punched out holly leaves and created the spray down the right hand side and top let hand corner, I popped some holly berries in at at angles and a sentiment was cut from a tag die and placed at the bottom with a triple green bow, and to finish of I have used some punched out Snowflakes and stuck them at the top in the right hand corner and bottom left hand one.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the ABC Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "Y is for Yuletide" Challenge.
