~~~ Cuteness at Sweet Stampin ~~~

Hi friends,

Hope this finds you well.

Today starts a new challenge at

Sweet Stampin

where we have a "Cute" theme...so come on over and show us your cuteness.

This is an older Tiddly Inks digital image that I've had for awhile

When she surfaced in my "to do" file I couldn't resist giving her some colour.

You see, she reminded me of myself...yes I, like so many of us, am in desperate need of a haircut!

When I saw her fringe covering her eyes I had to chuckle and thought she was in keeping with the times.    Hair stylists have not opened yet.....hopefully soon.

Coloured with Copics
Sentiment stamped in SU Not so Navy - MFT stamp

~~~~ Christmas week at Fab'n'Funky ~~~

Hi folks,

Hope you are keeping well and managing to stay sane during these strange times.

I managed to get out for a walk on Monday but as I schedule this post
 rain is forecast for the next 3 days so the walls will be getting closer!
  I find it difficult to stay focused the best of times 

but this really gives me an excuse!  But enough about me...

I'm happy to host this week's challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #459

and being the last Wednesday of the month

 it is time for you to show us some Christmas Creations.

I have used a wonderful Pre-Coloured image that is available
 at Sublimation Design Graphics.  

These cute gnomes are quick and fun to use...I moved them together

used Copic T4, T2 around the images to give them some dimension

then added T5,T2 at the bottom to ground them.  Sentiment is a MB die.

I loved their cute hats and sweaters...couldn't have dressed them better.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

CHNC Challenge #487
C R A F T Challenge #553

Hope you get a chance to stop by and see the fabulous creations by the DT

I enjoyed colouring this Marcella Hawley digital stamp.
