Thinking of You Balloons!

Had a commission for a batch of "Thinking of You" cards so decided to go all balloony! I had some gorgeous free digis from Imagine That Digistamps that I wanted to use in a card for their January Link Up so I thought this was an ideal time to try them out.

I also had a set of balloons from Lawn Fawn that are less fancy, so I thought they might make a good male and female version of the card! I think the Imagine That balloons should have been printed out a bit bigger but they do seem to make a more cheery card!

Sled Dawg! :)

Last but one challenge for the year on The Crafty Addicts Challenge Blog. As well as Anything Goes, there is an optional theme of Christmas Colours. Are red and blue christmas colours? I went with "yes" :)

Two awesome sponsors this time, Imagine That (Offering a $10 gift cert to winner) and Lacy Sunshine! (Offering 3 free digis to winner).

I did Christmas Sled by Imagine That for my inspiration card, it was super to colour!

I used polychromo pencils on smooth white card. Glossy accents on his eyes, nose and bells. The bobble trim, papers, snowflake and button were from the stash. The sentiment is also from Imagine that.

Here is a bit of a close up.

Hanging Kitties.

The first Novemeber challenge (No.28) on The Crafty Addicts Challenge Blog is up! New Theme is ATG or Winter Blues and the Sponsor is the fabulous "Imagine That" who are offering a $10 gift certificate to the winner!

The stamp I chose for inspiration is called Hanging Kitty! And it was fun to use blues, but I found it super hard not to get distracted and use some red and green! :) It came with some greetings as well as the "Feline Festive" that I have used.

As normal this is polychromo pencils on kraft card, matted onto blue card stock and a white card blank. I only added sequins as an embelli, and tacked on a "Special Friend" banner so I could use it at Xmas.
