I recently was the random winner at Polkadoodles and picked this sweet digi as my prize. Named “Honeypie-Catnaps” it was so fun to color. I used a beloved white gel pen to create the lacy texture on her Scrunchie ponytail holders.

I made this final card for the January Rudolph Challenge because I love making Christmas cards any time of the year! The card base and envelope are from a box of Christmas Cards I found at 75% off a few years ago. I covered the image on the card front with a rectangle of cardstock upon which I layered the apron-shaped embellishment with a yummy trio of gingerbread cookies peeking from it’s front pocket. I decorated the cards inside sentiment with a candy cane sticker and Gingerbread Cookie Digi from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set that is soon being retired. (It is on sale through April for 50% off…which means I got it for just $2.92 US)

Supplies: 

·   Front Digi and Sentiment “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” from Beccy's Place Digital Set (Home for the Holidays)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Card base- from a box of Christmas Cards found at Goodwill (I kept the inside sentiment and added a few embellies: candy cane sticker and Cookie Digi from a Beccy’s Place Set (Gingerbread) printed on Kraft cardstock and colored with markers and a white gel pen.

·    Apron Template found HERE

·   All other items from my stash.

I had fun making this card for the current Sketch N Scrap Challenge using a fun… actually SWEET… digi set from Beccy’s Place. To allow the little ice cream-loving bear to enjoy his cone while reclining, I had to flip and turn the sketch and... ooops... I just realized that I also repositioned the sentiment, which is a lot of changes! I do understand if my card needs to be disqualified because of this, but I don't care because it was so much fun to create! In place of the daisy, I used a circular sentiment (which is a freebie!) and lined it with a scrap of a light green plastic index divider sheet. Scraps from a blue divider sheet frame the little bear and also the inside sentiment. (These are one of my favorite supplies, sometimes called document file folders, which come in a pack of assorted colors and can be found in the office supply section of most stores. They're cheaper than colored vellum and more translucent. Punches and dies don’t work on these sheets, but they are easy to fussy-cut with a sharp pair of scissors. And you can draw shapes onto them with a permanent fine line marker- which Is how I often use them to make realistic-looking balloons on my cards!)  

Supplies: 

·   Digi and inside sentiment-Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Beary Delicious)

·   Colored with Decorative Chalks, Spectrum Noir Classique markers, and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Cherry topped ice cream cone- Free digi from Scribbles Designs you can find Here  

·   Scribbles Shiny White 3-D Paint adds texture to the ice cream on the cones

·   Inside Sentiment- Freebie from Desert Diva (Sweet Birthday Wishes)  

·   Ice Cream in Waffle Cone- upcycled from a Culver’s ad

·   Cardstock, scraps of patterned paper, tan embossed vellum, blue and light green plastic file folders, and other items from my stash.
