Christmas wishes for Joanna Sheen's first challenge

I was so happy when I saw the Joanna Sheen challenge blog start up. You might have noticed I am a bit addicted to her store and in particular these little mice :D I have gone for this great decoupage sheet from the deck the halls pack available HERE from the brilliant Joanna Sheen store. I have layered it up with foam pads and added some sparkle with sakura stardust pens and glaze on the fairy lights. For this card I have only used half of the decoupage layers and the other half I have put together ready for a second card. The papers are a mix of dovecraft and Bearly Mine. The gems are from my stash.

Kenny K meets Bearly Mine

I have been wanting to join in with these 2 great challenges for ages so made the time today to have a play and make a card for them. There are some brilliant new releases from both Bearly Mine and Kenny K's Downloads. If you have not seen them you seriously have to check them out.
For my card I have used some of the oldies but goodies :D The papers are all Bearly Mine from various Christmas sets and the image is Mrs Clause. I have coloured her with promarkers and then added some metallic to the bells on her garter with sakura metallic pen.

Crafts and Me gets it's stripes

For todays challenge over at Crafts and Me is to use some STRIPES.

Crafts and me are the Sponsors for this weeks challenge and the prize is 6 Digis of the winners choice, how fantastic, there is tons to choose from for a wide variety of tastes!

For my card I have used one of the gorgeous digi's
from Crafts and me called Natalie. I have coloured her with promarkers that you can get from Crafts and me and added some sparkle with sakura stardust pens. I have edged the scalloped card and the layering round the image with a gold metallic sakura pen. I also used a tool I got at the craft show last weekend to distress the edges. The striped paper is from Dovecraft and the leaf paper is from Bearly Mine. The sentiment is from Crafty Emma's Store.

Another Christmas cutie

This little sweetie is Noelle isn't she just so cute! You can grab her HERE. I have coloured her with promarkers and then torn around her to give a bit of a distressed effect. The gorgeous christmas text paper is from Bearly Mine (Donna has some gorgeous new Christmas papers out too well worth checking out).
I have used my dreamweaver brushes again to ink the edges this time I have used a brilliance ink pad so it is all gold and sparkly not that you can really see it in this picture. You can get the brilliance pad from Crafts and Me as well HERE. The gems and beads are from my stash and yet again the charm is more than it looks as it is a book mark that can be taken off.

I am entering this card for the following challenges:
Kraftin' Kimmie - Christmas theme
One stop - Girly
Bunny Zoe - I have used their great sketch.

I have gone for a mans card for a change. I have used this guy called Safari Guy of course from Kenny K's Downloads. I have coloured him with a mix of promarkers and sakura metallic pen for gold touches on his buttons and so on. I got to use my new ultra fine promarker nibs for this one on the lines on his pockets and I have to say they are a dream to use I can see I am going to want one for every pen lol
The papers are both from Bearly Mine and the scrabble letters are from papermania. I have inked all my edges again with my Dream weaver stencil brushes.
