SheepSki Designs December Blog Challenge

 Welcome to our last blog challenge for 2023.  It is a shame Andrea has to discontinue the Facegroup challenge at the end of this year so I hope those who entered with SheepSki Designs images will enter our blog challenge to keep that challenge going.

Well December is upon us.  Hasn't the last half of 2023 gone quickly?

Our optional twist for December is "Layer It".  I have used the new digital stamp "Crazy Horses"  Image No. 277.  I have made a New Year card with elements of layering.



As a follower of my blog, you are eligible to use this discount at SheepSki Designs Etsy shop  SKIANDREA10

I hope you will join in our December Blog Challenge.  We also run a Facebook challenge too, so join here if you aren't a member of the group yet.

Morgan's ArtWorld November Blog Challenge

 Our Blog Challenge is always "Anything Goes". This month I am working with Xmas Bundle 2.



I have used a Christmas paper from my digital stash and coloured the two images with pencils.  I then mounted them with foam tape.  The chipboard stockings I coloured with various mediums and finished the card off with a Merry Christmas chipboard bauble.

Beccy's Place Blog Challenge

 This is my entry for Beccy's Place October Blog Challenge.  This month the optional twist is a colour theme.  I have used the free coloured sheet (thank you Beccy) and the "Little Donkey Set", which I see in the shop is retired.  

I love this donkey and as it happens my daughter has got into donkeys on their property, and hopefully in a couple of weeks we will get up there.  I haven't seen any of them yet, but there is at last count 11.

Don't despair however, there are other great animal digital stamps to choose from.
