M is for Mail ... that is our theme at ABC Christmas Challenge!

Our sponsor for this challenge is the one and onlyTammy Louise with her Shape EZ templates.  The lucky winner will receive 2 templates of their choice!

This image is Winter Post by From The Heart Digital Stamps.    I added some stitching and stickles and had a bit of an accident with my glitter and glue ... yikes!

 Now it's your turn to show us what you can create!

Shape EZ

Shape EZ is a product originating from the desire to be different.  The templates were inspired by one unforgettable template and has become an opportunity to share specialty shaped cards with everyone.   Every template is offered in 300 dpi in SVG,JPEG,PNG and PDF files so no matter your preference, they are perfect for everyone.  No cutter needed, instructions included and are only limited by your imagination.  

Picnic Time at Digi Haven

Weather permitting ... it's Picnic Time at Digi Haven!  Our challenge will run for 2 weeks so start working on your picnic themed creations!!

Our sponsor for this challenge is MyGrafico and the winner will receive a Digital Image set of their choice!

Here is my first attempt at a pop-up box.  I have to admit, I cheated by using my Silhouette to do the cutting for me!  It has been a long time since I've been able to play with new projects / designs and am tickled with how it turned out.

The images, picnic basket, watermelon and drinking glass were from the Picnic Bear digi set by MyGrafico.

L for Little Gifts at ABC Christmas Challenge

"L for little gifts" 

is the theme for our new challenge at 
ABC Christmas Challenge!

You can use a stamp with a gift or you create little gifts/presents for someone.

Our challenge is sponsored by Freckled Fawn

 The winner will receive a $15 gift card to use at their store.

 

I created my card using this pre-colored image, Winter Fairy, by Lili of the Valley.   I added some glitter stickles to the image to match the beautiful sparkle snowflake paper and found this cute twinkle tag in my stash.

Pots and Pots of Flower Pots

Time for another awesome challenge at Digi Haven!  Our theme is Flowers and Pots and our fab sponsor for this challenge is Lacy Sunshine Stamps where the winner will receive 3 digis of their choice!

I chose to work with Cherry Flower Pot for my card.  I used some crackle glossy accents on the cherry blossoms and think I should have added plain ol' glossy accents throughout the image.

Our fab sponsor for this challenge is Meljen's Designs and the will provide the winner with 4 digis of their choice!!

I wanted to do something outside the ice box (I crack myself up) and decided on this image by Meljen's Shaken Not Stirred.  I colored the image with my Copic markers, added glossy accents to the tasty drink and crackle accents to the ICE cube.  I decided gems were in order and to finish it off, stickles for some glam and tinsel ribbon w/bells.

The Cheers and inside sentiments are from the Happy Hour set by Stampin' Up!  Now it's your turn to start ice-ing up!
