All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge - Valentines

This week over on the All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge Blog the theme is Valentines. I have made these cute acetate boxes containing some heart chocolates. I found the instructions for these cute boxes on Splitcoast Stampers, they were slightly bigger so all I did was reduce the size of the piece of acetate. These cute little boxes measure 2 x 3 inches, and were all just made with cardstock, acetate and a trimmer and Scor-Pal....and of course some double slided tape. I have filled the inside with 4 heart chocolates and the tissue paper also has some stamped red lips on it. The outside is decorated with a label tag punched with my Nesties, the digi images I have coloured with Copics using the following colours...
Bear - E30/E31/R20
Wings - R11/R20/R21/R22
Boxers - R21/R22/R37
The sentiment is by Stampendous "Mini Heart Bracket" which I have also coloured with Copics. I have added some little lips that I stamped with my new Anna Griffin set.
So I only need to make another 13 of these for Georgia's class mates...and then something for her teacher and the teaching assistant. Better get cracking this weekend as I only have one week, as half term in on the 12th.....arrrrggghhhhh.

All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge - Christmas

I got a little confused this week with the challenge over on All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge as I thought there was a sketch....which was actually last week....LOL. Luckily I made a Christmas card, and the actual theme this week is Christmas...so it was all good in the end.

I have used one of the Swiss Pixies called "Birgitte", and she has been coloured with Copics with DecoArt Glamour Dust added to the bottom of her dress and her hat. The papers are all Bo Bunny Press "Tis the Season" and they are layered with Bazill & Bazzill Bling cardstock. I also embellished with star pins from Tabby Crafts, Poinsetta from Bee Crafty, bling from my stash and a sentiment by Craftwork Cards. I have also "glimmered and glamoured" the poinsetta for extra sparkle.

Tonight we are getting the tree down, the decorations up and the lights up outside....well maybe the lights will have to wait until the morning...LOL. Georgia and I are off to a Christmas Bazaar at the school she left back in the summer...it will be nice to catch up with everyone.

A Three in One!

I made this card last night for the challenges over on A Spoon Full of Sugar, Papertake Weekly and Daring Cardmakers. On Daring Cardmakers they want you to make a card with a theme that starts with the first letter of your name....I am a C...so Christmas. On A Spoon Full of Sugar they want you to you a colour combo of Brown and either Blue or Pink....so I used Brown & Blue. Finally on Papertake Weekly they want you to make a Christmas Card.

Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - E31/E25/E27/E49

Also as you can see from the side shot below the papers are all glittered and I have added glitter to the Flowersoft I used on the image, some Doodlebug glitter on the bauble, DecoArt Glamour Dust to the snowflakes and some Sakura clear glitter gel pen to the wings on the main image...so it really dones sparkle.
I have also used the sketch over on Sketch Saturday, which I have rotated through 90 degrees.
