    My DT card for the December Sheepski Designs Challenge features Andrea Norris’s artwork named “Birthday Cocktail.” In honor of the holiday season, I turned it into a festive New Year’s cocktail with the help of a sheet music background (Auld Lang Syne) and sparkling stars.

    I’m entering this card into several challenges including Park Hopping-My Happy Place (This is one of my favorite challenges… and host Makira provides a listing that assist in researching theme parks that offer specific themes, items and types of entertainment. This time I searched for “drinks” and learned that Disney’s Epcot offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy “Drinking around the World”… and they don’t even need to leave the Park!)

Supplies: 

·  Auld Lang Syne sheet music (no longer available. But here is a freebie I like even better!)

·   Digi- Sheepski Designs (Birthday Cocktail)

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

·   Front Sentiment-“It’s a Day to Celebrate” from a Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Keeping it Simple)

·   Digi- QKR Eureka Digital Stamp (Another Year Begins) Currently Not Available

·   Glossy Accents added to glass to provide sheen and texture

·   All other misc. items and tools from my stash.

Classic Design Challenge: Anything Goes (Happy Holidays)   Since I’m a DT for Sheepski (one of the sponsors), please don’t include me in the draw for their prize!  

   I provided a few more DT cards for the December Sheepski Designs Challenge because I used a few of Andrea’s sweet digis on Valentine's Cards (I’m getting a leap on making cards for that holiday!)

   I used a bear digi named “Panda” for this card but colored him a soft brown with decorative chalks. To add highlights and a bit of fluffiness to his fur, I bounced the tip of a Blender marker atop the chalked image.  Googly eyes, a scrap of twine, and a few sentiments finish the card.

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Sheepski Designs (Panda)

·   Valentine’s Subway Art from balancinghome.com (site appears to be closed)

·   Colored with Decorative Chalks, Copic Blender marker, Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Front Sentiment “Happy Valentine’s Day”- Hero Arts (retired)

·   Inside Sentiment “Sending You Hugs and Kisses” -Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Keeping it Simple)

·   Sookwang double-sided tape- Available from several sources on the web.

·   R&W twine, googly eyes, cardstock and other misc. items and tools from my stash.

      For this card I used a digi named “Bear Love” and printed a few extra copies of the hearts from the digi to use as embellishments. An oval template from my scrapbook stash helped me highlight the sweet digi and silver photo corners helped frame the subway art.  The final touch was adding a small red satin bow below the little cutie's head!
