Celebrate the Occasion Challenge # 22: Christmas In July

Hello everyone,

The first term of the design team at Celebrate the Occasion is now coming to an end. So this is my last project for this term. Its has been such an honor to serve with the ladies on the team they have been so supportive of each others craft. I have made some good blog-buddies in the DT and in the bloggers that take part in the fun challenges. Thanks for everything gals and guys!

On to this week's Challenge, Christmas in July theme continues but this week you are asked to make a shape card. I combined two Cricut carts (Smiley Cards and Winter Woodland) for this card, I joined the shadow images I liked on my Gypsy and welded them to form the base of my fun card.

What was used:
Cricut Smiley Cards
Cricut Winter Woodland
Gypsy
Deja Views Fair Isle Christmas Stack
Cardstock: We R Memory Keepers, DCWV, Recollection
My Pink Stamper Winter Punnies Stamp Set
Colorbox Que Fluid Chalk

Remember to stop by and participate in the Challenge. You could be entered in the prize for this month which is a Block Party Cricut cartridge, perfect for those summer pages. Visit Celebrate the Occasion and see the amazing project the DT has to inspire you.

Happy Scrapping!

My Sheri Crafts Challenge #39 - Winter

I haven't played along with My Sheri Crafts for a long time. I really like her design team work for this challenge. You can find them here.

In Jamaica we don't have snowy winters that I live with now. At this time of the year the hurricane season and the hot summer months are gone. It is still warm and you can feel a nice Caribbean breeze coming off the sea, but still remember watching ice skaters at Winter Olympics on TV there and thought how graceful they were. I am a big fan of dancing and somehow ice skaters make their movements look so effortless and beautiful, not unlike dancers. I haven't even tried ice skating but maybe someday I will.

Here is my entry for this winter challenge:-

The card measures 5 1/2 X 4 1/4. I used Winter Wonderland Cart for the ice-skater, cut at 4 3/4 inches, but stretched width wise with my Gypsy just to make it a little wider.  I used my Cuttlebug for embossing folders her dress and for the snowflakes paper. The patterned paper is from Basic Grey Blush line. The 'winter wonderland' stamp is from My Pink Stamper Winter Punnies
Happy Scrapping!
