Sleigh It Like You Mean It

 The November Challenge at 12 Months of Christmas is Sleigh It Like You Mean It.  The challenge is Any Christmas Card Goes but has an optional theme of sleighs (must still be Christmas Cards though).  This is my card for the midway inspiration:

I used two digital papers from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  The single sleigh pieces have been cut from the plain layer (has a sleigh in the corner).  

I have followed a tutorial by Iced Images for a Double Winged Gatefold Card.  I followed the measurements but changed the ovals to rectangles and squares.

Peace and Happiness

Day 18 and the prompt is P.  A bonus P is Phew, I'm caught up again.  Once I slipped behind it was hard catching up again.  The two that I created today (O and P) were both relatively straight forward so that helped me to catch up.

Day 11 and the prompt is J.  Two of the colours are from using a Face Media colour chart and finding the closest copic marker.  I am having trouble finding the image that I used in this card - I have been through the current images and freebies and I'm either missing it or it's not there.  I also saved all the sets in one place so I can go through those and can't see it there either.  I'm either missing it because my eyes still haven't settled back down or it is a retired freebie.

Holly Jolly Christmas

Day 9 of the Month of Holiday Cards at Beccy's Place.  Yesterday we had a break from the alphabet but we are back on the alphabet today, so it is the 8th letter - H.

I'm doing better with my eyes today, so I was actually able to find the image in the store.  Thanks for your assistance yesterday Beccy - couldn't see what was right in front of me.

Envelope for Gift Card

Best Wishes

 I think this will be my last post for July (unless I have forgotten something).

Each month, the challenge at Beccy's Place includes an optional element.  This month, it was an inspiration picture.  I picked out two of the colours to use with my image - green grass and trees as well as the sandstone colour of the building (which I used in the fairy wings)

Beccy's Place - July Challenge
https://beccysplace.blogspot.com/2024/07/july-challenge.html

I have used a digital paper, image and sentiment from Beccy's Place.  I had intended on using another strip of paper on the panel behind the fairy but my printer decided to malfunction by that point.  Initially it kept telling me there was a paper jam (even though there wasn't).  After turning off the printer for several days, I turned it on and it had forgotten about the paper jam but now won't print in colour.  I get the feeling that it is asking to be replaced.
