G is for...a mid-way reminder for ABC Christmas Challenge,

Today I have a mid-way reminder for the current challenge at

ABC Chrismas Challenge.

Chris is our host and we are up to the letter G.

G is for Girl or Guy creations.

Now, you can interpret that anyway you'd like....some of the DT went 

with a guy or a girl ON their creation, and some of the DT made a card 

FOR a guy or a girl!!! It's totally up to you how you interpret this one,

but remember, have fun! 

Our Sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps and the DT 

were very fortunate to receive some images to use for this challenge!

 THANKS Bugaboo!!! 

 

One lucky Random winner will win 7 Digi images

of their choice.

,

I have used a sponsor image for this week's card.

It's the lovely JJ Calender Months- November, you can find her here.

The bright papers are from My Mind's Eye.

A close up at the little sweetie, she's coloured with Distress Reinkers,
and I have addes some glitter as snow.

The big snowflake is made with a die from Spellbinders,

and the flowers are from my stash.

I går var vi til åben hus for at fejre en af mine venninder.

Da vi er sammen i bla en Cocktailklub,
var det nærliggende at bruge dette
herlige digimotiv fra Bugaboo til kortet.

Mønsterpapiret er fra Kaisercraft.

Stemplet med 'Gratulerer' er fra Kreativ Hobby.

Er Stella ikke bare en herlig dame?

Tekststemplet her er et gratis digi fra Create with TLC.

På den anden side er der plads til at skrive.
Jeg har brugt en ny punch fra Martha Stewart på siderne.

Mange kalder den 'Barte'-punchen.

Bagsiden med mit 'håndlavet af' stempel og et par halvperler.

Jeg her brugt sketchen fra Catch The Bug Challenge.

Mid Way post for ABC Christmas Challenge.

Hello crafters in blogland, here is a (scheduled) reminder for this
fortnight's challenge at ABC Christmas Challenge.


I hope mr. Blogger is nice to me, because at this moment
I'm on my way to Oslo with my Hubby and the smallest of our boys.

We are going to a concert with Metallica tonight at Valle Hovin.

It's not my favourite band, but my kid is a huge fan.

I look forward to seeing his enthusiasm!
So I'm sure it'll be great fun.



Samantha is hosting our

J for Jingel Bells.

Bugaboo Stamps is the sponsor for this challenge, and has kindly
given the team some digis to play with.

For my card i have used Snowman Polka Scarf from Bugaboo.

I have a soft spot for snowmen, wonder if it's because they are so easy to colour?

Some Distress reinkers and Stickles here and there, and that's it!

The paper is from Papirdesign, a Norwegian company.

The ribbon is Seam Binding, and I have added a little
Jingle Bell charm together with the bow.

A simple backside, dp and my personal stamp.

I hope you have sent of your Christmas cards and
only have the hand delivery ones left.

ABC Christmas Challenge is ready with
this years last challenge.

Z is the letter, Helen is our host.
Helen has chosen the theme.

Z for Zingy Colours!

If you -like me-wonder what 'zingy' colours means,
take a look at this faboulous picture!

Now you know!



We have to fantastic sponsors
for this last challenge of the year.

First our own Lacey from Stamp and Create.

Lacey is offering a $ 20 gift certificate for her shop.



Bugaboo Stamps is our other sponsor.
Bugaboo is giving one lucky winner 7 free digis.

This challenge runs a bit longer, you have till
January 3rd to finish your Zingy project.


WOW!! More than 500 entries for our Y for Yippee Challenge.
I think that it is new record for entries in a ABC Christmas Challenge.
So many beautiful Christmas related projects.
It was hard for Lacey only to pick a top 3,
so she made a top 10!

If you are in need of some inspiration, I'll recommend you
to make a cup of coffee, put on your sunglasses
and head over to the ABC Christmas Challenge and
see the amazing projects my teamies have made this time.

We are so lucky to have some of the Bugaboo Designers
joining us as Guest Designers this time.
Please give them a warm welcome.

The team was kindly given some Bugaboo images for this challenge.
The one I've used is called JJ Calendar Months-January.

I found her perfect for making a tag for
a bottle of wine or Champange.

The paper is meant for gift wrapping, once I saw it I knew
I was going to use for the Zingy Challenge!

I have used a Martha Stewart punch around the tag,
and also for the snowflakes.

Sorry, but I can't remember where the sentiment stamp comes from.

Isn't she a real Party Girl?

The small pieces of ribbon are from my stash,
and I have added some gold Stickles here and there.

I have used this sketch from Sketch and Stash.

X for Xerox, DT card for ABC Christmas challenge.

It's time for a new challenge at ABC Christmas Challenge.
And I'm the lucky one who is hosting.

The letter for today is X
and stands for

Xerox!

It's not as difficiult as it sounds.

We want you to xerox one of the
DT member's cards from any
ABC Christmas Challenge during 2011.

In other words, CASE a card.

You don't have to copy it, you can use the layout,
the colours, the image, the papers.

When you write your post, we would like you
to tell us from where and whom of us you are inspired of.
Link to the selected one or even better, show us the card you CASE.


Once again we have two fabulous sponsors ,
Digital Delights,

and Bugaboo Stamps.

First I want to show you the card I have xerox'ed.

PLEASE NOTE:

THE CARD BELOW IS NOT MY CARD;
THIS IS HELENS CARD I HAVE CASED.
MY CARD IS THE NEXT ONE ,
THE BLUE AND WHITE !

This is Helen's card for our G for Girly challenge March 30th.
The cute image is from Wild Rose Studio.
A really sweet and lovely card.



This is my card, I must admit is is a bit diffrent!

Not only the colours, but the whole therm differs.

I have used a digi image, kindly given by Bugaboo.
I think she is outstanding!!

The dp are from Papirdesign.

The snowflakes are made in glittery paper
with a Marianne Die and added pearls from Kort og Godt.

The inside with space for writing a greeting.
(I'm going to add a white piece of paper here also.)

And the usual back side, with my personal stamp.
