"Candy Cane Lane" Inspired!

It's time for a new challenge over at Sparkles Monthly Challenges. 

Our theme this month is 

INSPIRED BY A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Our amazing sponsor is

They have a FABULOUS prize for us!!

How adorable is that stamp??

So one of my favourite Christmas Carols as a Kid was 

"CANDY CANE LANE"- so that was my inspiration.

My niece also loves the carol and well eating candy canes, so this one is for her!

I wanted it to be fun for her as she's 7. I used Christmas Candy Fairy from The Paper Shelter.

CS is Bazzil and DP's are from DCWV. Twine, button and pearls (which I colored with SN markers) are from my stash. 

Here's a closer look at the colored version of the image:

This reminds me of my niece too, as she's so cute, even when she's mischievous! hehehehe.

Be sure to check out the wonderful creations from my teamies for their CHRISTMAS CAROL INSPIRED cards.

Happy Craftin'!

Pretty Poinsettia

It's time for a new challenge over at Sparkles Monthly Challenges. 

Thank you to everyone who celebrated our 3 year anniversary with the 

Sparkles Christmas Challenge Anniversary Blog Hop. So much fun!!

Our theme this month is 

USE MORE THAN 3 OR MORE EMBELLISHMENTS

Our sponsor this challenge is:

Note: Postage to be paid by Winner


This challenge I used Pretty Poinsettia from Meljen's Designs. 

CS is from American Crafts. I paper pierced the cream CS for texture and design. I used ribbon and bling from My stash. 

I colored the image 4x & layered it with pop dots. For the second bottom layer, I used Moondust Gellyroll pen for highlights/shimmer and on the top 2 layers I used diamond Stickles, and that's what helped curl the edges.

 For the center I used glossy accents and microbeads. 

There..that's my 3+ embellies! ;o) I sure hope you join us in this fun challenge this month.
