Have a Cool Yule!

Hey y'all, happy Sunday!  First off, I want to thank everyone for participating in my hop and challenge.  I haven't picked the winners yet...sorry!  I will try to get it done later tonight, but they will definitely be posted by tomorrow morning.  There just aren't enough hours in the day, ya know?  =D

I'm here today to bring you my entry into the SIXTH round the Progressive Challenge over at Crafters Digital Art Center (CDAC)! Wow...the final round for this session.  Just crazy! (If you didn't participate in the first Progressive Challenge, you should definitely check it out for the newest one starting soon.  It's a ton of fun!)  The challenge this time is Winter Wonders, with an additional little challenge of using 3D snow.  

I used this adorable image from Designed to Delight.  I just think he's so cute!!  The silver paper is from The Paper Company, the dp on the front is from TPC Studio and the dp on the inside is from DCWV.  The image is colored with Copics, and I used a 3D snow pen for the snow. (I didn't realize I was going to end up covering most of it....but you can still kind of see it. LOL)  The snowflake borders are from my new Martha Stewart border punch....love it!

In addition to CDAC, I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Stamp Insanity: Chill Out

Midnight Madness: Sketch 129 (MMSC129)

Thanks so much for stopping by, and we'll see you soon!

Whoops!

Well, I created a tag for the the current scrappy side Simply Betty Challenges.  However, after I had finished, taken my pictures, and started getting the tabs ready for easy linking I realized....I only did HALF of the challenge!!  I created a Christmas tag....but I did NOT use the specific color combo!  Whoops!  Silly me for relying on my memory. Jeez. LOL  At least there are a few other Christmas in July challenges going on that I was going to enter, and I still have another week and a half to create another Simply Betty Tag.  (Plus, then I can use one of my new images from her latest release!  Yay!  Must always look on the bright side.)

Anyway, after that...involved...intro, here is my tag!

Those of you who know me know that I have two very different sides.  There's what I call the bubblegum side...that side LOVES pink, glitter, fluffy bunnies, kittens, puppies, fairies...you get the drift.  The other side, however, loves skulls, black lace, piercings, tattoos, gothic images...well, you know.  Guess which side came out for this challenge?  LOL

I realize the sentiment is a little hard to read in the photo.  It says "Merry Frickin' Christmas".  Hee!  When I printed this image as my little Christmas elf, she just didn't seem like the "holly, jolly Christmas" type, ya know?  =D  This tag is just perfect for a very good friend of mine.  I'll have to save it to use on her present this year.

So, here's a list of what I used to create this card.  DCWV's Christmas Combo stack.  Simply Betty Stamps image: Pipper, colored with Copics.  Presents, ribbon and flowers are from Michael's Craft Stores.  The holly tag is from Miss Cutiepie.  I had added my text, then printed it out on the computer.  Unfortunately...I'm running out of ink, so it printed light purple with streaks.  Another whoops!  Fortunately I was able to save it by coloring it with my Copics.  The white dotted line on the tree paper is part of the dp.  To match it, I drew a white dotted line around the cranberry paper using a white Souffle pen.

Ok, well...thanks for stopping by!  I promise my next Christmas tag will be a happier one. LOL We'll see you again soon!
