Christmas in July #21 – The Squirrel and Fox Challenge

Hi all! I am super excited to announce that I am a Design team member for The Squirrel and Fox. I am thrilled to be working with some talented ladies! This week is my first challenge and the theme is Christmas in July. For my card I used an image “Christmas Friends” by  The digi doodle shop I colored in this wintery image using my Copic markers. I added some clouds with blue ink and used glitter and flocking to replicate snow. I think next time I will add the flocking first and then a little bit of glitter after. I used echo holiday digi designer paper and SU cardstock as the base. The stamped sentiment is from basic grey and I added a brad on the top left. I also added a red crinkled ribbon.( which is available at my online shop). Digi doodle shop is sponoring this challenge. Now we would love to see your winter wonderland project and don’t forget to check out the other DT members and their inspirational cards. Thanks for stopping by!

Pretty in Pink!

Good afternoon everyone! So before I left to Florida I purchased the new tiddlyinks Summer Sweet Wryn. I couldn’t wait to use this adorable digi stamp. For this card I incorporated two different themes , one of which is from Tiddlyinks Pretty in Pink challenge  #89 and the other is the Deconstructed Sketch #58. Two of my fav challenge blogs. For the DP I used a digi kit. I punched holes on one layer and stitched the other layer. I added vintage lace on the bottom and cut out a cute banner. The sentiment is an SU stamp and I added three pearls right under it. I added stickle glue on the lollipops. This was a really fun card to make especially with these two themes combined.

Thanks for stopping by and please don’t forget to check out our new challenge blog. We start our very first challenge on July 1st. Follow us at
