Mami Doodles Challenge 37

This week over at Mami Doodles the challenge is Christmas.

Here are 3 cards I done for the challenge, I haven't crafted for so long so once I started I just kept going, I also couldn't choose which of the many great Mami Doodles Christmas digital images to use.

This first one is using Elisa's newest digi "Under the Mistletoe" & this little cutie is going to be the November freebie so you will get it free with any Mami Doodles purchase for the next month!

ProMarker combo used is

Black & Cool Greys 5-1

Burgundy, Cardinal Red, Berry & Lipstick Red

Forest Green, Lime Green & Lime Zest

Antique White

I used Glimmer Dust to add some sparkly snow & a tartan bow to finish.

I just love this image called "The Storyteller" I think it is so sweet.

ProMarker combo used is

Sky Blue, Arctic Blue & Glacier Blue

Raw Sienna, Mustard & Buttercup

Burnt Sienna, Caramel & Sandstone

Cardinal Red, Berry & Lipstick Red

Bright Green & Leaf Green

Antique White

Blush & Soft Peach

For this card I used "Holly" She is just lovely. Elisa came up with this image after Wendy requested that the Mother Nature image would be great as a Christmas image with holly & I think they could be sisters lol!!

ProMarker combo is

Walnut, Burnt Sienna, Caramel & Sandstone

Blush & Soft Peach

Forest Green, Lime Green & Lime Zest.

I gave her red gem holly berries (for a bit of sparkle) &

used glossy accents on the holly leaves.

To play along with this challenge visit the Mami Doodles Blog. All you need to do is make a Christmas card but remember if you use a Mami Doodles image (including freebies) you will be entered twice.

The prize for this challenge is the last 3 Mami Doodles images released & they are Autumn Girl, Holly & Wanna Play plus one image of your choice.

The challenge will run for 2 weeks so that gives you until the 17th of November to join in!! All you have to do is add your link here.

Looking forward to seeing some great creations.

Published yet again!!

I submitted a card & a LO to Crafting Ireland to be published in issue 5 & Yay... My card was published. I am delighted, it really does feel great to see your work in a magazine.

Here is the card I submitted.

I used one of Elisa's newest images, I have a thing for snowmen so fell in love with this image as soon as I seen it & couldn't wait to use it!

I also submitted this LO & although it wasn't published I am still happy with it, I am betting that as each issue of Crafting Ireland comes there are going to be so many submissions but at least it gives me the nudge I need to start doing more scrapbooking!!!

Mami Doodles Blog Hop & Challenge 36 Black & Orange.

So I put my name forward to be a part of the Mami Doodles design team & after a vote by Elisa & the other ladies on the design team myself & 2 very talented ladies (Frances & Jenn) were chosen to be a part of the team! Take a look at their blogs to see the amazing work they do!

I am thrilled to be a part of such a great team & to be working with Elisa's fabulous images.

This is my first project for the Mami Doodles DT as a newbie & I was torn trying to choose just 1 of Elisa's images for my card but in the end I went with Mother Nature which is 1 of Elisa's newest images.

Here is my DT card!

I do hope that you will join us in this challenge.

To enter the challenge all you need to do is make a card, LO or altered item with the colour scheme of black & orange. Any entries using a Mami Doodles image will have 2 entries.

Card Swap!

Over on Celtic Crafters where I am a group member it was my month to set a challenge for a card swap & I chose the theme!

I didn't want to make it too easy of the ladies so taking inspiration from Jackie Mooney's gorgeous card I decided on having a shaped card.

Thinking that this might be too easy on the ladies they also had to have a handmade flower on the card too & it couldn't be punched or die cut!

This is where I got the idea for my flowers.

I cut the layers for my card & the matting layers using my eCraft & MTC.
