Snowy Christmas

Good morning!  It's time for another challenge from the Monthly Team at Forever Friends; for December we want to see Christmas cards....

The sponsor for the Forever Friends favorite is Meljen's Designs; the winner will receive 4 digis of their choice.  I want to thank Meljen's for the darling owl digi that I used today...so "thank you" Meljen's!

The sponsor for the randomly picked winner is Di's Digi Downloads; the winner will receive a voucher to their webstore.

I kept my card clean and simple to keep the focus on the cute image, which is colored with pencils.  I did a bit of distressing, and added a ribbon and sparkly snowflake for embellishing.  (The snowflake die came in a fun package from Tracie, who is in my Secret Sister group...thank you, Tracie!)

Good morning!  I'm back with another fun sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches; Theresa has designed our sketch for this week...I like the corner element, so many possibilities!  Our sponsor this week is Meljen's Designs and they let me pick this yummy Autumn Candy Apple to work with... thank you!  There are a lot of really darling images to work with...check them out!

I love Granny's Smith apples, so I wanted my card to be primarily green...I added a bit of caramel and some red for contrast.  The image is colored with pencils and the panel is popped up.  I was trying to figure out what to put in the upper left corner and then remembered my stash of alphabet beads...perfect!

Good Tuesday morning!  It's time for another fun sketch challenge from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Our sponsor this week is Meljen's Designs, who provided me with this darling little mouse to work with; thank you so much!  I tell you, there were a lot of cute images, so I had a hard time picking just 1....

I printed my image on CS and colored it with pencils.  The DP is by Doodlebug...I love how bright and cheery it is!  I used Spellbinder's dies and gems to finish my card.
