Can I Ski, Too? For Di's Digi Designs Challenges

It's Saturday, and it's time for a new challenge at Di's Digi Designs Challenge Blog.  Every other Saturday, a new challenge starts, with the most adorable digis in the world for you to win! For the next 2 weeks, the theme is "Embossing - wet or dry". This theme is one of the harder ones for me.  I used an embossing folder to meet the criteria.  

I used the adorable digi, Can I Ski Too? to create this:

I colored Can I Ski Too? with Copic markers.  I used a confetti embossing folder from Close To My Heart.  I was hoping it looked like snow!  

The sentiment is from We Are 3 Digital Shop.   It is part of the Snow Days Sentiment set.  The snowflake banner is a die from La La Land Crafts.  I used a bit of twine from Timeless Twine to finish the card.

Embossing - wet or dry -- you have 2 weeks to enter the challenge at Di's Digi Designs Challenge. I'd love to see your embossed creations!

Snow Day -- Freebie Friday at Bugaboo Stamps

It's Friiidaaaaaaay!  That means there's a freeeebiiiiiiieeeeee at Bugaboo Stamps!  

Today's freebie is Eggbert Winter, and there is some serious cuteness going on here!

I colored Eggbert Winter with Copic markers.  I believe those are red running shoes that he has on, because any serious runner will be out in any kind of weather, even if they do have to balance a pile of snowballs while they run!

The Snow Day! sentiment is from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  It is just one from the Snow Days set.

The snowy background was created on my Silhouette Cameo 3 with a file I found in the Silhouette Design Store.  The snowbank was cut freehand with a scissors.  The snowflake banner is a die from La La Land Crafts and I've been using it a lot lately. 

The other Bugaboo designers did some wonderful things with Eggbert.  Check out all the inspiration at Catch the Bug blog.  Grab the freebie, and enter it in our challenges.  You can win more free stuff!  Do some shopping while you are at the Bugaboo Store.  There's so many great images to choose from!

Snow Days are the Best Days! for Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez

I love snow days!  Unfortunately, we've had more days of freezing rain here in NW Wisconsin this year than we've had snow,  but there's still plenty of winter ahead, so I'm not giving up hope. 

Today, I'm posting for Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez.  Patricia has some of the cutest snowman images, and today's is not exception. This is Snowman Taking Photos:

I colored Snowman Taking Photos with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  It's from the Snow Days Sentiment Set. 

The snowy background was cut out on my Silhouette Cameo 3 with a file I found in the Silhouette Design Store.  The snowflake banner is from La La Land Crafts.

Winter Blues -- for Aloha Friday Challenges

It's Friday, and today it's time for some midway inspiration on the Aloha Friday Challenge blog.  This time, the theme is Winter Blues.  One of our sponsors is Scribbles Designs.  I loved using this Wintertime Subway Art!

I was able to create a very fast card, simply printing the Wintertime Subway Art, adding a bit of color, then adding some die cuts.

The background paper is from We Are 3.  It is from the newly released Snowmen paper.  The snowflake banner is from La La Land Crafts.  I don't know who makes the deer die cut.  I've had it for quite awhile. 

The Winter Blues challenge goes for another week at Aloha Friday Challenges.  I hope you can join us!  Link up through next Thursday, January 24!

For the Christmas Confections challenge, I used one of my favorite Lacy characters -- Sugi....

This is Gingerbread Sugi.  I colored Gingerbread Sugi with Copic markers, then used 2 sizes of a Die-namics stitched die to cut her out and back her. The snowflake banner die is from La La Land Crafts.  All papers are from my stash, and I no longer remember what companies they are from.  Sorry!

Season's Greetings Shades of White -- for Polkadoodles

It's Friday, and it's time for some mid--challenge inspiration on the Polkadoodle's challenge blog.   This time, the theme is white, with one other color.   Hmm.  I thought long and hard about this one, and here's what I decided on...

I started with a Kraft base, then used white with shades of brown.  I just HAD to use these two beautiful deer.  They are so sweet, they speak to me.  It's deer hunting season right now here in NW WI, and while I know we have more deer in this state than people, I still don't like hunting season.  This card is my tribute to all the deer out there.  You can get the image individually here.  The whole Frosted Winter Octavia Collection Digital Download can be found here.  If you're more patient than me, and want the CD, that link is here. The shaped card design I used on this is also from Polkadoodles.  This is Elegant Card 2 SVG cutting file.  The sentiment is a freebie, found in the Polkadoodles store. 

The crinkle ribbon on this card is from 3 Girl JAM.  The banner die is from La La Land crafts. 

I hope you join us this coming week in our white plus one challenge.  It was a challenge for me, but a fun one.  Then, join our Facebook group, Polkadoodles Crafting, for even more inspiration!

So Grateful -- for Crafty Sentiments Challenges

It's Tuesday, and it's my first time posting for the Crafty Sentiments Challenge team, having switched from the Inspirations team.  I like the idea of having themes to work with.  Our theme for this week's challenge is "teacher".  The school year is fast winding down where I live -- only a couple days left, so I made a thank you card that could be given to a teacher, Sunday School teacher, 4H leader -- anyone, really.

This Crafty Sentiments Designs rubber stamp is "Hanging Hearts". I colored her with Copic markers.  

I used several dies on this card.  There's 2 sizes of the same Spellbinders label die behind the Hanging Hearts image.  The banner is a die from La La Land Crafts.  Papers on this card are from Close To My Heart.  The Flair and crinkle ribbon are 3 Girl JAM. I finished off the card with my We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper.

Join us at Crafty Sentiments challenges this week for our "Teacher" challenge.  I'd love to see what you make!
