December 31st The Outlawz Paper a la Mode Challenge!

Let's Get It Started!  That's the theme for this month at The Outlawz PAM Challenge!  It's the eve of 2023 and after a suitable day and evening of celebration we will all get to the details of life in 2023!  I got this fabulous planner page at Etsy from Mills Media Boutique!   We are not sponsored this month so we used what we had for this challenge.

All I had to do was decorate the page with some goodies!  What fun it was!  I used Winter Stamps from My Cutie Store (on a break right now).  Everything was colored, added and inky dotted in Procreate!  I added all my design team dates for The Outlawz and I do hope you will add our challenges to your planner or calendar this year!  From all of us at The Outlawz Paper a la Mode Challenge we wish you a very Happy New Year! 😊

December 11th The Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes Challenge with LeighSBDesigns!

 Happy Holidays and here we go with a wonderful new challenge using this poem for inspiration!

Baby's First Christmas

By Cj Heck

So, this is Christmas morning...

everyone is here.

I don't really understand it

cause it isn't very clear,

but Mom and Dad are happy,

there's pretty ribbons everywhere,

lots of things that they call presents

and even paper I can tear.

They keep showing me this new stuff,

balls and books and even soxes...

they don't seem to know how fun it is

just playing with these boxes.

Please remember to tell us what inspired you from the poem to be eligible to win!

Our amazing sponsor this month is LeighSBDesigns!    Please have a look at all the wonderful digital images and SVG Cutz designs that Leigh has to offer!  I had a play with an image that always takes me back to my babies first Christmas mornings!  Both of them were chubby little bundles of joy with very little hair!  The image is Baby's First Christmas!

I made a triangle fold card using the adorable image colored with Copics and I also used the colorful Candy Cane paper from the Marble Snowflakes Striated Marble 6x6 Decorative Decorative Digi Paper Pack. 

I used a senti from the awesome A Charming Christmas Compendium of Festive Sayings also by LeighSBDesigns!  I backed it with a green paper from the same digi paper pack!  Such fun and totally festive!  Come play with us at The Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes Challenge!  Remember to tell us your inspiration....by the way! mine was "lots of things that they call presents" 😊

Winter Sparkle Challenge #12 at LeighSBDesigns!

 I have been creating up a storm with the new Winter Sparkle Contemporary Christmas 2022 Collection from LeighSBDesigns!  I absolutely love the digital papers!  I also love the Snowflake Sprite!  The sprites are just delightful!  

I used the Elegant Snowflake Layered Make a Card SVG  for my card base.  I colored Snowflake Sprite with Copics and watercolors and fussy cut out before placing on my card.  I added a bit of gold glitter paint to her wings.  I used sentiment from the very useful A Charming Christmas Compendium of Festive Sayings also by LeighSBDesigns!  So this will be my first entry at the Winter Sparkle Challenge #12 at LeighSBDesigns!  Details and linky party are HERE!

December 2nd Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenges #12 with LeighSBDesigns!

 Is everybody ready for Merry Craftmas??  That's our theme for December for Challenge #12 at Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenges with our uber amazing sponsor LeighSBDesigns Digi Stamps and SVG Cutz!  Of course the optional addition of a dragonfly to the Merry Craftmas theme put you in for the Dragonfly Award!

This cutie with the crafty fingers is Merry Craftmas Sandy Oddleigh Christmas Wreath!  Sandy is such a wonderful image to work with!  I colored her up with Copics and inked around the image with Distress Ink.  I layered her on to some green cardstock and layered that on to the fabulous new digital paper I printed out from the Winter Sparkle Contemporary Christmas 2022 Collection!  This is one of the papers from White Snowflakes Striated Marble 6 x6 paper pack.  I added a wee dragonfly to the corner who is very interested in Leigh's new collection!  Now it's your turn to show us what you can craft up for Merry Craftmas and enter in Challenge #12 Merry Craftmas at Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenges!

December Progressive/Freebie Challenge at The Outlawz!!

 It's the most magical time of the year and it's also time for our challenge to begin for December!  We all had a chance to play with an adorable beer image by Sandra at The Outlawz!  Thanks, Sandra!

I colored the bottle up with Copics and layered with some patterned papers!  I created the sentiment of Cheers in Photoshop!  I added a bit of gold string to make it festive!  We can't wait to see how you use the image for this month!  So grab a bottle and come sit a spell with us at The Outlawz Progressive/Freebie Challenge for December!
