Finale for A Charming Christmas Hop + Challenge with LeighSBDesigns!

 Sadly I haven’t been able to play anywhere near the amount of time I wanted to spend on this lovely Hop and Challenge hosted by LeighSBDesigns with sponsors including Ike’s Art and Lawn Fawn (A big Thank you to the sponsors and Leigh!). But onward looking I must be as I stare down a brand new year and with that in mind here is my Winter Wishes card to all! —

I used the oh so pretty Elegant Snowflake Layered Make a Card SVG Cutz by LeighSBDesigns!  I had some leftover papers from the Elegant Snowflake Ornament Stand and all that glitter just had to go into another snowflake project.  Plus I have a huge pile of negative cuts from the Ornament Stand that includes snowflakes and stars galore!  I did a very simple card with the outer card, inner card (pale lavender) and the outline layer of the snowflake cuts.  I added a sentiment from A Charming Christmas Compendium of Festive Sayings by LeighSBDesigns and free handed a cut around it adding those pretty snowflakes from my stash!  I love it!  This is my final project for A Charming Christmas Hop + Challenge adding in the challenge as it is all Leigh’s designs! 😊. Thanks for another fab hop and challenge, Leigh and Val!  

Also playing at The Outlawz Challenges Monday Greetings and Twisted Thursday using the option of Snowflakes/Water Droplets!

 

Challenge: Nov. 14th Falling into Winter Hop with Leigh!

 I made it into the Cricut room with the help of my old trusty walker today!  Boy, I really hated dusting that thing off but was sure glad of the help the seat gave me and the help pushing up to a standing position!  I was really happy with the Winter Snowman Rectangle Lace SVG Cutz file by LeighSBDesigns!  I intend to make this one again using all the fabulous cuts filed in for a stained glass look!  But he looks perfect in pink today!

I filled in some of the details with the negative cuts from the rectangle and added some pearls for a finishing touch!  This one goes to the challenge portion of the Falling into Winter Hop + Challenge hosted by LeighSBDesigns!  The Challenge is a new feature each month so check out all the details and linky party HERE! ☃

Leigh’s awesome new collection can be found HERE along with tons of designs past and present!

Challenge: Nov. 12th Falling into Winter Hop

 I love fall on the days it arrives down here!  A light jacket in the mornings on some days and back to short sleeves and shorts on other days.  We had some beautiful, colorful leaves last year but the hurricane stripped the trees almost bare in August so not much color this year.  I really am miserable in hot weather so I am drawn to all the lovely snow designs Leigh released in the new collection!  Christmas starts for me the day after Halloween and I made my first Christmas card today!

The little ceramic angle was made by my sweet Mama 💖

Ingredients:  Christmas Baubles Slimline Cards Make A Card Lace SVG by LeighSBDesigns.              Gold acrylic paint.                                                                                                                                             I painted the insert with the acrylic paint then glued to the lace cut front of the card.  This one is going to the Falling into Winter Hop + Challenge presented by LeighSBDesigns!  Details and linky party are HERE!

Challenge: Nov. 10th Falling into Winter Hop ⛄️

 I finally got a chancthe Charming Snowflake Tage to play with some of Leigh’s fantastic new designs this afternoon!  My relationship with my Cricut is still not 100% and it failed in a few spots but I just trimmed it off and went on to finish my cute snowman tag!

I used the snowman from the Christmas Tree Charms SVG, the Charming Snowflake Tag and I cut the sentiment from A Charming Christmas Compendium of Festive Sayings!  I am loving the soft colors of lavender, soft blue and white so bear with me I may get really into them!  There is a huge sale at LeighSBDesigns on the new collection, fall designs and past Christmas and winter designs!

This is on its way to the challenge portion of the Falling into Winter Hop + Challenge hosted by LeighSBDesigns!  All the details and linky party are HERE!

Challenge: Nov. 5th Falling into Winter Hop!

I really thought I would be kinda glad when the 31 Days of Halloween were over but I wasn’t!  So how happy am I that we have a new hop + challenge starting up today at LeighSBDesigns!  

I was actually to busy looking at the Etsy  boutique and asking Leigh when the new collection went live to even craft anything in real time!  Thank goodness for Procreate and Leigh’s darling little Oddleigh Snowflake Elf and the new A Charming Christmas Compendium of Festive Sayings!  I was able to color up this cutie and add the fabulous sentiment!  We will be Falling into Winter with this festive Hop + Challenge presented by LeighSBDesigns!  This can be entered two ways at one linky party so check out the details HERE!  

The enchanting new A Charming Christmas Winter 2021 Collection is now at LeighSBDesigns and there is also a SALE!  The sale also includes past Christmas images and others, too!

 

Challenge: Oct. 30th the 31 Days of Halloween 🎃 2021

 It is official!  My Cricut and I are on a break!!  Things were said today that need time to be forgotten on my side and things were DONE that need to be forgotten by the Cricut!  But not to be defeated I pulled myself together and came up with this little 5 x 7 inch canvas!

_

I painted a very basic background for the Skeleton Cat Lace SVG Cutz and the Wicked Moon Furness Forestscape pieces I cut out from a printed page that I colored in Procreate. Both fantastic designs by LeighSBDesigns!  I wanted my kitty to be brave hence the sentiment which I typed up in Procreate and inked up with carved pumpkin Distress Ink.  This one goes to the challenge portion of the 31 Days of Halloween Hop + Challenge hosted by LeighSBDesigns!  The linky party and details are HERE!

Check out Leigh’s new  A Charming Christmas Winter 2021 Collection!  A sneak peek video is HERE!
