    Lyn

This time I've used Mixie from Ditzie Designs, and coloured her blue to match the blue Christmas papers and letters by Dovecraft.  (Winter Wonderland) I've 3D-ed the frilly bit of her dress, layered the backing papers with silver mirri card and added gems, stick on ribbon, white eyelash wool, silver peel-offs and Stickles Glitter.

Added this  Friday 4th Dec, very later but I really wanted to colour Mixie with Christmas colours. Mounted on to Gold, Green and Red miri card, loads of Stickles Glitter, coloured with Promarkers. Christmas backing paper  and matching sticky ribbon by Dovecrafts. Snowing blue paper my own. Hope you like it!

MONICA

To embellish my cup gift box, I used the adorable "Snowman Cocoa" digi, provided by Bugaboo Stamps.

DORIS

I made a gift box using the  Christmas horse image from Bugaboo 

Cazzy

Here at last, so sorry I missed last week and am late today - I have had a week of Lyn's Hubby's Man Flu I think! I'm still not over it, but better than I was. I just realised that Lyn set the Christmas in July challenge too, must be something about Christmas!

I used two cute Bugaboo images together Skinny Bird Candy Cane and Skinny Bird Christmas Ornaments, they are Robins now!  The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons.

As usual I'm running late so I've added this card, using two Bugaboo snowmen.lil-snowman/star and Lil-Snowman, which I've 3D-ed and coloured with Promarkers. You too can back-link, providing, we haven't seen your creation in any of our challenges and it's no older than ten days old!

  Here's my 'real' DT card for this challenge using  "Gift Giving Cedric" from  Digital Delights.

 

I've finally managed to print out four of him, (my computer run out of coal again!) coloured him with Promarkers,and then cut him up so I could 3D him. I've added extra stick-on presents, loads of Stickles Glitter, red gems and a bit of holly as well as a snowflake button and ribbons. The papers were free from a crafting mag. They're called 'Me to You'  The sentiment was done on the computer.

Challenge #24 Going Around In Quirky Circles.-Reminder

Hi quirky guys, Lyn here, it's reminder time!  Our challenge is nice and easy, just in case you're busy with Christmas shopping...It's Going Around in Circles, (which I'm sure many of you are! I know I am!)

 

 Our Fabulous Sponsor is Crackerbox Palace and the team have used the Bird House, Bird and the Flowers, they supplied us with. So, it's now up to you! We want to see circles! As many or as few as you like. Big ones, little ones, scalloped ones, fancy ones, it's up to you!! Just think Circles! Here's some inspiration from the Design Team! A very clever card from....

Myriam.
I used the bird house digi provided by our sponsor Cracker Box Palace and coloured it with Spectrum Noir.
 

I used Spectrum Noir for coloring the stamp!!

MONICA

To decor my butterflies circle card, I used the house digi provided by our sponsor Cracker Box Palace and coloured it with Spectrum Noir pens and glitter pen for the swirls.

Cazzy

This is a cheating a little, I had the card with the tissue box on it already, I have added the stamped sentiment and bugs, all die cut in circles. Then I doodled with a paper white pen, one corner got a little messed up, and was not correctable, but hey it will have to do!

This is the first card, I hope to add a second soon. The bugs are here, and the tissue box here. Of course you can choose to have them as digi images for just $3 by contacting Crackerbox, or winning them!

Inside the card, I used Get Well Soon, and don't let anyone tell you soup will help, which I put into a circle to keep in the theme!

Here are a couple of the cute bird images I mentioned last week, I think this is too funny, that upside down bird looks like it is saying - what happened? The result is the hatching egg that landed on the floor haha!

Sentiment is from a Kars set.

 I love this snowy Winter Cottage stamp, and when I cut it out with a scalloped circle a shaker card came to mind, and this is how it turned out.

I added a piece of tinsel ribbon (from Crafty Ribbons) so that it could be hung as a bauble or picture.

Shaken up! More details and photos on my blog.

KEMLY 

Hi everyone!!  In this project I used the digi Bird and flowers also I used the digi The branch. I made is a slide card. My project is coloured with acualerables pencils and Distress Inks.

Monica

Kemly

Hi everyone!! For this challenge I make a snowglobe!  I used the  House digi,  provided by our sponsor Cracker Box Palace. I coloured with acuarerable pencils and Distress Inks.  

 Doris - will be along later.

 Cazzy

This is my first ever rocker card, and I made quite a few errors (if you want to know what they are you will need to look at my blog post - can you spot an obvious one here?).

I made a little scene in a circle, and the base is a folded circle, I even found a circular sentiment that fits so well with the theme! I coloured the images, including the backing paper, with Promarkers and Graph'it pens. Rock on!

 Lyn

And here's my little card. It's brown, covered with circle patterned paper. I've used the bird house, which I've 3D-ed along with the little birds from our Sponsor, both coloured with Promarkers. I've used round die cut letters for 'New' and ribbon for 'Home' (I think those little birds will love it!) Freebie Papers are by Shery K. Design.
