Christmas at TPS

Hello again,

I'm back with my second post for today, 

this time for the new challenge starting at

The Paper Shelter

The theme selected by our lovely team leader Marie 

 "Is it too early for Christmas?"

I coloured with Copics one of the newest images called "Holy Night" which can be found here.   I've not seen the movie but my Granddaughter tells me this reminds her of the main character in Frozen.  I used several dies in an effort to create a frosty look.

I used several dies to create the background. 

 Corners are Tattered Lace dies. 

MB Snowflake Arch, cut twice. 

SB Tag, sentiment created in Word. 

 Websters Pages silver ribbon. 

If you play along with us this week you will have a chance to win 3 Digis of your choice and a $30 Gift Certificate to use in the store if you use a TPS image.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

The Pink Elephant Challenge - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by today,

Christmas again at Fab'n'Funky Challenge #235

Hi everyone,

I'm back after a week in the Bahamas and am still on island mode.

What a fabulous time we had with our 

group of 23 wedding guests there for our Son's wedding.

The ceremony was on the beach, the weather was perfect.....cloudy skies but no rain, great for pictures.  

I hardly had my bags unpacked when I started into

 this week's DT requirements. I think I left my mojo on the beach somewhere

 so it's been slow and steady.

I choose to make a CAS card for today's 

Fab'n'Funky Challenge 

where the theme is Christmas

We have two wonderful sponsors this week.

StampArt Design by Kathryne

and

Dilly Beans

I choose to use a digital stamp from Dilly Beans #509 Amalia's Christmas Lights which can be found here.

Coloured with Copics, machine stitching around the image and Spellbinders Back to Basics Tag used for the sentiment created in Word.  I used glossy accents on the lights and red rhinestones for the holly, pretty cas but I'm happy with it.

I would like to enter the following challenges: 

Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge - Bingo ( Ribbon, rhinestones, die cut) 

Thanks for checking in today.  I'll be back shortly with my post for TPS.
