CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for October - Mid-month Inspiration.

As usual... mid-month already?

I don't really know where time flies!

 

We have some fresh inspiration for you today on our CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra blog and this is mine:

 

 

The image is Winter Fairy Skate from Bugaboo Stamps which I mounted on papers from Papermania and Doodlebug. A few snowflakes and my little angel is ready for a skating session!

Christmas Card Challenge # 25 - Candies.

What  yummy challenge we have this week at Christmas Card Challenges!

 

 

Candies!!!

 

This is my card:

 

I'm collecting freebies from AliciaBel for a while now and I even treated myself with some of their cute images but I've never had the time to make something with them.

 

This week it was the perfect theme for their Faery Lollipop digi.

I colored her with Copics and lots of glitter and used a paper from Papermania as background. I also added rhinestones for some more bling!

 

If you want to see more candy-themes cards, have a look here and be inspired!

Wings

Pretty unusual for me, I've just finished a card with fairies:

I don't know why but I'm not a fan of fairies. With a few exceptions (like this one) I never buy stamps with them. When I saw the theme at Tiddly Inks Challenges this week I was a bit worried I wouldn't have been able to enter but then I saw this image and... yes, that was perfect! It's a long while (years) that I have it but, for one reason or another, I've never managed to color it and make a card.

These fairies are so pretty and... oh! How I wish to have them helping me when I put my lights on the Christmas tree!!!

This card is for the following challenges:
Tiddly Inks Challenge # 102: Wings
ABC Christmas Challenge: B for Boys or BOWS
Winter Wonderland Challenge: It Takes Two
Christmas Cards All Year Round January Challenge: Anything Goes

Well, 331 days to Christmas and 3 cards are ready!

It's a Sweet Summer at Broken Box Stock!

It's time for Challenge # 7 at Broken Box Stock!

The theme for this challenge is super-sweet: Summer Pastels!

It's been a bit difficult for me to choose pastel colors: we are having such a hot and dry summer that the colors I'd associate to it were mainly primary colors.

But I LOVE pastels, they are MY colors so I finally came up with this card:

I used Fairy Toodle digi stamp which you can find here in the shop, my Copics and a bright patterned paper (I'm sorry, but there was no clue of the manufacturer on the sheet).

Now, here are the directions for the Challenge:

Use a graphic from Broken Box Stock to create a card or paper craft featuring a soft, summery pastel color palette.

Feel free to use broken Box Freebies (you can view the entire freebie collection here).
