Club Anya Contest "The Complete Package"

Hello everyone. I am posting late this Sunday evening because I have been working on a few things to show you this coming week. Our contest, at Club Anya, for our December stamp release is called "The Complete Package". You are to create a Handmade Gift using an ANYA or IAN stamp (no Sprouts, H/G, etc.)  You can make a card to go with it, but the contest entries must include some sort of handmade gift  and/or packaging for a gift.  This can be a box, ornament, wreath, centerpiece, ANY kind of gift...just has to be more than a card.

You will have until MONDAY, DECEMBER 14th at NOON CST to get your entries in.  The WINNER will be announced during our CLUB ANYA BLOG HOP tomorrow night and will win the ENTIRE DECEMBER RELEASE-which will be 2 singles and 1 set!  That's about a $30 value! Exciting huh??? Upload your creations to TGF Galleria>CLUB ANYA>Contests/Challenges>The COMPLETE PACKAGE.

OK, here is my gift. I took a lunch tin and altered it into a box for Christmas Cards. I used one of the new pretty girls from the Ms. Anya Love set that will be releasing Tuesday at 12am CST. Here is a pic.........

So, what do you think? Doesn't she look like a little doll sitting on the side of the box? I just love her. LOL!!

Thanks for stopping by and I will not be posting early tomorrow morning like usual since our Club Anya blog hop is tomorrow evening. Look for my post at 7:00pm CST and we will also be chatting it up on the Club Anya group on PaperCraftPlanet. Go here to join us for the chat. See you tomorrow night.

Hugs,

Mystery Monday - I {Heart} Punches

Hello and happy Monday again.  Today is Club Anya's 2nd Mystery Monday Challenge and today's challenge is called "I {Heart} Punches".   Wow, was this challenge ever fun.  I made a skull with crossbones with circle punches, square punches and the scallop border punch.  Took me a while to make it but was well worth the effort.  I used the Matey set from The Greeting Farm, my first time to ink her up.  Love her as I do all the TGF images.

This card is also for Taylor's sketch TESC84 from this past Friday.

Thanks for stopping by again today. I hope your week is starting out wonderful for you. I'll talk to you soon.

Hugs,

5 Cards For You Today

Hello and Happy Sunday!!! I have 5 cards today that are for the Birthday Celebration challenges from this past week over on the Club Anya blog. I had so much fun with all these challenges. Some of them definitely got me out of my comfort zone. I will explain what the challenge is under each card and please feel free to email me if you have any questions about anything I have done.

This card is for the "Back to School" challenge. I have had this designer paper for a long time and have never used it. It was perfect for this card.

This card is for the "Crazy Hair Day" challenge. I used three different stamps to achieve the hair on this beautiful girl. I used one of the stamps from the Miss Dressy Anya set and the stamp has short hair. I took the pigtails from a different stamp from the same set to add her some length to her hair. I then took a third stamp, Megan, and used the bow from her hair to add to the pigtails. What do you think?

This card is for the "Javablu" challenge. You were to use blue and brown on your card. This is Megan and I think she is precious.

This card is for the "Smile and Shine" challenge. You were to add glitter, rhinestones, bling, etc. to your card. That is always an easy challenge for me as I feel "the more bling the better". LOL.

This card is for the "Time to Get Sketchy" challenge. You were to use one of your favorite sketches. This is from Taylor VanBruggen's sketch challenge from this past Friday, TESC78. Yes, Taylor, this is an awesome sketch and I loved it!!

Thanks for being patient and looking at all my creations today. I really enjoyed making them and I hope you enjoy looking at them. Have a wonderful week and I'll talk to you soon.

Hugs,
