Christmas in July

Good morning and Happy Choosday everyone.

This week at Digi Choosday we are starting on our Christmas makes so have set the challenge of Christmas in July. I'm writing this post a few days in advance so it's actually blazing sunshine outside at the minute and is around the 30 degree mark! So quite strange to be doing Christmas makes for us in the UK. Never the less it wasn't a hard task as I used the fabulous Picknix 2, Gingerbread Twist Colletion. For those that have been following my blog for a while you will know how much I love this collection! In fact I used it a few weeks ago for the Tag it! challenge. Anyway here is my make:

For the background I cut two papers into 4 squares to make a patchwork background. I used a distress ink around the edges of the before sticking them down and then added some faux stitching to tie them together. The I sat and fussy cut all the embellies out whilst I was watching Wimbledon. As much as I love my Cameo I still also love to fussy cut, and I love Wimbledon so got to do two things I love together, how good is that!

Now don't forget to pop over to the blog to grab your discount code for today for some fabulous discounts off of our downloads! Also please visit all my teamies blogs for more inspiration.

All dressed up!

Good morning everyone, I'm here a week early with my make for the Graph'It Markers Colouring Challenge blog as I've swapped with a teamie who was a bit busy this week.
The challenge we were set this week was to use shades of pink, yellow and orange and we are being sponsored by the fabulous All Dressed Up. The DT were also challenged to use three different skin combos. The image I have used is Love To Shop, and here is my make.

The Graph'It's I have used for the skin are:

Girl on the left:

4120, 4125, 4115, 4155, 4180

Girl in the middle:

4110, 4125, 4145, 4155, 4170, 5110

Girl on the right:

4125, 4155, 4170, 5110

Then the other colours are:

Pinks: 5160, 5170, 5180

Oranges: 2150, 2160, 2170

Yellows: 1130, 1140, 1150

Here is the colour inspiration sheet I used.

The sentiment is from LOTV and I have used a circle die to cut it out.

This week our challenge is "Use Some Embossing" It can be either dry or heat embossing, it's totally up to you. I chose to use an embossing folder to create my embossing and here is my make.

I have used a pre coloured image, embellies, word art and a sentiment all from the fabulous Work and Play 10 download collection. You can buy this as a CD should you wish, and also in smaller download collections. And should you wish to buy the image on it's own you can. The embossing folder is from Tattered Lace.

Tag it!

Good morning and Happy Choosday everyone. 

We have a new challenge for you over at the Digi Choosday blog today and that challenge it to use a tag. You can make a tag, or you can make a tag shaped card, or you can make a card with a tag on it, anything at all as long as a tag features somewhere on your make. Here is my make for this week.

I have made the tag out of some Kraft card and then the papers, embellies and sentiments are all from the fabulous Picknix 2 Gingerbread Twist collection. I have used the Tea Dye distress ink to darken the edges of everything and added some faux stitching onto the papers. The 2 Picknix collections are available as smaller downloads and some even as physical paper stacks, which are so strokeable! You can find them all HERE. The die cut Poinsettia is a Tattered Lace Trio die from the latest Tattered Lace magazine.

All you have to do is enter this weeks challenge and add GDT to your name in the link up. It's a fabulous team to be a part of, so if you love Nikky's work then give it a go!
