Challenge #24 "Anything Goes" ~ Sharron's Turn

***I forgot to introduce myself to Crissy's Crew last month so without further ado.........

Hi! My name is Sharron & I live in southern California. I’ve been married to my best friend Frank since 1973 & am the proud mother of 3 amazing grown children Kim, Brett & Shawn. I’m also grandma to 2 beautiful girls Alexis & Shaye. I’ve loved paper crafting all of my life beginning with my Crayola crayons & paper dolls. My love affair with paper continued when I began rubber stamping & card making in the early 90’s. A few years ago I discovered Copic markers & digital stamping which has opened up a whole new world to me. I love anything vintage but don’t limit myself to that style. I’ve learned so much from my dear friends in the crafting community & I feel so blessed to be a part of Crissy’s Crew. I am in awe of her amazing talent & can’t wait to see what she creates next.

Now onto my card........

I can't hardly believe that Christmas is already over & we're headed to a New Year. Wow! I hope your Christmas was wonderfully blessed & filled with love.


We're nearing the end of our "Anything Goes" challenge & would love for you to join us. You can go HERE to see all of the deets & to upload your creation.


I used this darling "Snowman Skating" digital image created by Crissy that's available at Whimsy Stamps. You can see additional pics on my BLOG.

Have a FABulous New Year! Huggies ~ Sharron♥

Challenge #24 - Anything Goes - Shari's Turn

Merry Christmas Eve to you all, and I hope that you are all snuggled up waiting for Santa's visit, and that the milk and cookies are waiting for the jolly old fellow!!!

I love working with digital images, so when Crissy designed her December releases at Whimsy Stamps I knew right away that I wanted to create a winter scene using as many of the images as possible.  I merged Snowman Santa, Snowman Top O' the Morning and Snowman Skating ( which also got flipped ) into my card.  For more information please visit my blog here.

Challenge #24 Anything Goes - Crissy

Christmas is almost here!!  

This is another submission to my "Anything Goes" challenge! I hope you will join us if you get a quiet moment over the next few days - the challenge runs til Dec 31st so there's still time to participate!

I have another card to show you today in which I used Zoe's "Make It Crafty Blending Card".  I can't say enough great things about this paper.  It is a total DREAM to work with!  I recommend it for Copic beginners and experts alike.  I get zero compensation for saying that, I am not affiliated with Zoe's store (we are just good friends!).  But I am just in "paper love" with this stuff!! ha ha!

Before I go on with my card deets, I want to be a proud Mom here, and ask you to vote for my daughter Ashley!  She is in a contest in which the winner gets a recording contract! You can go take a listen to her song HERE and vote for her!!  It is for the MMG's top new song of 2011! She is in the TOP THREE!!  Woot woot!!  Please give her your support!! 

She has an album out and I have a link on the right side bar of my personal blog, Crissy's Art 'n Heart if you want to listen to snippets of her entire album of original songs.  You can order a hard copy or buy it from iTunes!

I used my image for Whimsy that I called, "Cool Pony".  I wanted to draw a Shetland pony because since I was a young girl I have thought that they are the cutest breed of pony!  I love their shaggy mane and fetlocks and short little legs -- so cute!! ha ha

Challenge ~24: Anything Goes - Carole's Turn

Hello everyone, today it's my turn to show you my card for this month's challenge. You'll love the theme this time, as it's ANYTHING GOES, so I hope you'll join in with us again this month.

I thought I'd take the opportunity to make another Christmas card, and so I chose this wonderfully cute winter image called Zoe & Gemma's Snow Fun, which is available from Wags N Whiskers. I love the way Crissy has drawn the little girl and the adorable little kitten, and it's the perfect scene for a card for one of my little nieces.

For more details on this card, see my blog HERE.

December Guest #1--Stephanie Lee

Howdy folks!! Today it's my sincere pleasure to introduce you to our first guest designer for December. Her name is Stephanie Lee and here is a short bio about her...

I am blessed to be married for almost 14 years to a man who is wonderfully tolerant of me and my paper and ink passion. We have two great kids – Shawn who is 6 and Emma who is 2. I am also originally from Singapore, emigrated to Australia with family in my teens and now to USA for work in Corporate America. My husband and I have been in the US for over 15 years.  I discovered scrapbooking and card making 6 years ago when my son was born. He inspired me to start creating. For me, there is something liberating about experimenting with different materials to see what new and special things I can come up with. Since then, I have had some wonderful opportunities to earn a living papercrafting – selling my greeting cards through my own company, Arty Carty Handmade Cards. That’s about it. Come visit my blog at The Arty Carty Blog.  I am excited to get to know you. Don’t forget to play in this month’s challenge – Anything Goes.

Here is what Stephanie created for us...

 Aren't these adorable?! Thanks Steph for doing such a lovely job for this month's challenge.

Now it's your turn to show us your talent. Go HERE to find out how you can upload your own creations. Don't forget to visit Stephanie's blog and leave her some Christmas love!!

Thanks for stopping by today to take a look! Have a blessed day!!

Hugs,

☺Sarah ☺

Challenge #24 - Anything Goes! - Crissy's Turn!

Welcome to another new challenge at Sundays With (yours truly) Crissy!  I'm giving Sarah, my DT co-ordinator a bit of a break, so I'm filling in for her today. 

I wanted to make this an easy peasy challenge because I realize this time of the year can be a very busy time.  So if you do join in, feel free to create as your heart tells you, and enjoy the process! It's Anything Goes! 

Please scroll down to the bottom of this post to find the Inlinkz button that you can use to upload your creation.  And just to be sure, check out the challenge guidelines on the right sidebar. 

On my card, I used "Little Artist", a digital image I did for Whimsy Stamps which was released last month.  I printed her on a light brown/grey pastel paper and coloured her with pencil crayons.  I see so many cards these days where people have coloured the image with pencil crayons on Kraft paper.  I don't have any Kraft yet, so I thought the pastel paper I happened to have in my stash would do the trick.  I think it did ok.  I would like to try out the Kraft though, to see if it works any better. Here is your close-up:

You can visit my personal blog for more details. 

Here are the winners of the Artist's Choice Award from November's challenge.  Winners, please grab your winner's trophy button from the right side bar and display it on your blog!
