Memory book

 Hi everyone

Today is the latest Challenge over at Polkadoodles.  The DT are sharing ideas for gifts and packaging as the polka doodles products range can be used for much more than cards

I made this book using the last Christmas release of the cute gingerbread people.  I used the stamps and the papers to make a memory book I can fill with photos over Christmas to gift to someone in the new year.

Its so cute.  I'm adding photos but you could put recipes, memorabilia, or just journal your festive period.

The full download pack can be found here.

To join our challenge, nip over to our blog here, I can't wait to see your makes!

Celebration Winnie

Hello crafters

Welcome to another blog challenge over at Polkadoodles, this one is anything goes, and you have a chance of winning three digi images.  There are some fab new releases too!

This time I made an Easel card using greens and yellows.  I did it to match her bottle of bubbly!

She is either a digi image or a stamp and the flowers are from the blossoming blooms collection

 

All coloured with copics and fussy cut, I used an A6 card to make the easel shape.  A oval die cut in jade pearlescent card to make the lovely Winnie stand out.

The flowers were then stacked behind and on the base so it all stands up, and of course a touch of stickles for sparkle!

I'd like to enter this into:

• Double trouble - use yellow, orange and green.
• Avenue 613 create - AG option fancy cuts/folds. 
• Lil patch of crafty friends - anything goes
• Creative creases - fun fold
• Creative knockouts - lots of layers

I hope you like her - I think she is perfect for any celebration!

Please leave me a comment below if you have landed here or follow me on my other social media channels.

See you soon

Our challenge runs for one month and if you share your card and add to the gallery, then you'll be entered into the draw to win some of Wendy's amazing images - including the new releases!

 I made an inky background with distress oxides and a sentiment from my stash of stamps.  The image is coloured with Copics and fussy cut out before being popped p using foam pads.

Finished with some splatters of ink and some nuvo drops.
