CDAC progressive Challenge #9

CDAC Progressive Challenge

Challenge #9

Dec 14th - Jan 14th

We are now up to Challenge #9 at the CDACPC.  The wonderful people are giving everyone 2 extra weeks for this challenge because of the holidays.  Not that I needed it.  I couldn't wait to start, once I saw this cute little digi, from   I printed the digi out on the green striped sparkly paper and then the same digi on plain cardstock.  I colored the bear with my Copics and cut it out and paper peiced it with the tree.  I added some small pearls for the "balls" on the tree and added the bow from Martha Stewart, which I also added a pearl to.  Like I did with the Incy Wincy challenge a couple of weeks ago, I put it in a frame from Graphic 45 and mounted it on top of the red paper from Paper Boutique's "Country Christmas" set.  The metal corners (which are actually green) are from Inspirations, which I got from my friend Elaine for Christmas!  I love them...everything else is from my stash..

Oh my God!!!  I completely forgot to post my card for this weeks challenge...I've been so spacey lately!!  sorry...

This weeks challenge is being sponsored by Nicecrane Designs.  The challenge is to make a Christmas card using brads.  The digi is  Vintage Christmas, papers are from Graphic 45.  I took out the center part of the frame and glued the digi inside it.  The picture borders are from Heather Jolly Digital Scrapping.  I think they add a great touch!

Challenge #123
Non Traditional Christmas Colors

Our sponsor for this week is Prairie Fairy Designs.  We got to pick from some wonderful digi's for our Non-Traditional Christmas Color Challenge.  That means no red,  green, gold, or silver. 

I went with teals & blues.  The digi is called "Carolers Singing".   This is not something I usually do. I like to do the more cutesy stuff.  I cut it out using my new dies "Big Scallop Circles-large" size.  The bg papers are from Graphic 45 and the strip of other paper came from one that my friend Elaine gave me, ribbon-Creative Charms, flowers are GCS Imports  and Prima e. and the tag is leftover from a  Daisy d's kit.
I used the sketch from Totally Gorjuss, but twisted it around a little bit.  Hope it's ok??

FTTC #96

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC96)!Posted by: Betty Wright

December 6th, 2010

This week Silke Ledlow is our challenge host! Silke is challenging us to 3D Holiday Gifts! A card can be made to go along with your gift, but a 3D Christmas gift item is the main challenge!

I used paper from, yes you guessed it, Graphic 45.  Both the images are from Incy Wincy.  The card is a Diaper Folded Card that I found at www.astickysituation.com from Joni.  It's got a funny name but is actually very cool.  Hope you enjoy.  Only a couple more weeks of Christmas cards.  I'm starting to get burnt out.  Just like i did with Halloween.

Simon Says

I made this card a few days ago, but forgot to post it...whaaaa!!  I missed the deadline for the challenge, but thought I's post it anyways.

I used my favorite paper...Yes, it's Graphic 45-AGAIN.  You'll be seeing lots of it for the rest of Christmas.  Oh well, I guess i'll have to wait for the next one.

Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #80 (MMSC80)
As usual with MMSC there are two different sketch's to pick from. A fancy one and a plain one. I went with the fancy one this week. They are more challenging.

I got to use my new papers from Graphic 45's "Christmas Past". I added "yellow" stickles to the ribbon on the tree and "peeled paint" distress stickles to the tree.  Pearls were also added to the ribbons.

I made this card to also fit the following challenges:

Kenny K Challenge #18

Kenny K Challenge #18 Anything But A Square

I used Kenny's new Christmas line for this challenge. This one is called "Mrs Clause".  I betcha all the guys would be staying up late to wait for her to come down the chimney!! haha....
OK-this was a really, really hard challenge.  I've never done a card that wasn't a regular card shape (well, I guess this is technically a regular card shape, so I hope it still counts. please, please, please???)..

 I got the idea from "Time For Crafting" e-magazine, issue #13. It's called a "Cracker shaped card", but to me it looks more like candy.  In the plan, the middle was suppose to stay closed, but I decided to fold it at the ends and add a sentament inside.  I actually like it better this way.  I used my new papers, "Christmas Past", from Graphic 45.  They are very vintage.  I decorated my "cracker" with stickles, scrap lace & ribbon, and rhinestone in "pale green" and "clear".


Here's the inside.  I used the "Tags" Nestie's, inked in "Tes Dye".  The sentiment was printed off my puter.  I really like the way this came out and I'm sure you'll be seeing more of the same design.
