CGC Challenge #273 - With a Twist!

Hello, everyone! I’m here with the first challenge of the New Year 2026 (wait! Didn’t we just have Y2K??). Anyway, I had taken off a few months so I could handle the fall and the holidays better, during which includes what would have been my anniversary. But I’m back now!

So for this Challenge #273, the theme is Anything Goes with an Optional Twist: Use a Snowman! (Be sure you use paper, because this is a paper challenge blog).

So here is what I created, using a snowman from free internet images (be sure they aren’t watermarked).

I hope you enjoy this little card. And I hope to see you over at the Crafty Gals Corner Challenge Blog!

Crafty Gals Challenge - #268 Fill in the blank: Dad's ____________

Hello and Welcome back to my blog! If you view my blog, you might notice that I'm missing some challenges. The truth is, I've been going through some sickness and missing my husband. Our sweet Challenge Coordinator for the Crafty Gals Corner, gave me time off so I could heal physically and emotionally. She a wonderful team leader. So, let's get on with the challenge, shall we?

 The theme for this challenge is: 

~ Fill in the blank - Dad's _____ ~

(day, cars, clothes, hobbies, sports, tools, birthday,  etc.)

  Our sponsors for this challenge are:

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

For this challenge, I chose a cute little bee/flower digital. At the time, I was thinking...it's so cute. Surely I can figure out what to make with this image (with a few doubts in the back of my mind). But! I figured it out! And here is what I made:

Buzzing

So, for my card, I decided to make the buzzing theme to become dad’s birthday! I love how the bees turned out and I’m so excited that they came out so well. In the thistle, I had to look up what they look like and I came as close to it as I could. All in all this is a cute image and there’s a lot of things one can do with this image.

This cute little image came from SheepSki Designs (the specific image link is under the picture). I hope that you will join us in this fun challenge! See you there!

Crafty Gals Corner #264

 Hello, crafters! We started a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner, #264. The theme for this challenge is: 

~ Fill in the blank - Pink_____ ~

(hearts, candy, bows, flowers, etc.)

 Our sponsors for this challenge are: 

(listed in alphabetical order)

LeAnn's World 101

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

* * * * * * * * * *

Pattie's Creations

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are a lot of things you can color using pink. But for this challenge, using the color pink, I chose to color my digital with a pink dress. Here she is:

Using: Abigail

LeAnn's World 101

Isn’t she lovely? I took a card base and used my inks to color the background. Then I Rand it through my machine with an embossing folder. I thought about using a mat on top of that, but it would have hidden a lot of the design, so I dismissed that idea. 

Then I took my TriBlend markers and colored her up, focusing mainly on her dress. I then placed her on the top of the card. And that’s it! 

Please be sure to check out the challenge blog. I hope you will join us! 

Thank you for stopping in!

A note from Rachelle Anne Miller:

I am an artist & designer living in the beautiful Adelaide Hills in South Australia with my husband and three amazing children! I love to create and am especially drawn to all things cute. I've worked on children's books, greeting cards, craft supplies, children's room décor, tech accessories, and more. I love to bring out joy and imagination in my art and create something a little different to inspire and make you smile.

———————————-

Now onto my project. Here’s what I created with the link to the digital image.

 Snow Bears Christmas

Last Minute Manda

These Little Snow people are just so adorable! And what’s even more awesome Is that all I had to do was print out the images to the size I needed, mount them on some silver foil paper, added some jeweled gems, And mount them to the base of the 4 x 4 cards. And they became cute little note cards!

And when I’m ready to send off a note card to someone, all I have to do is write on the inside of the card or stamp it and send it off!

I do hope that you will join us in our challenge for this month. Thanks for stopping in! Stay safe and stay warm!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #261

****************************

So for my design project, I made this card:

Using: Snow Globe No. 1

Mirtillamente Craft Shop

This card was so fun to color! And I had the perfect paper for the background! The colors of that paper inspired the colors for my Snow Globe. I even put a "snowflake" on the tip of his nose! 

I used my Tri-Color Markers for this project. Although you can't see it, I put a layer of acetate on the globe section to represent glass. I then layered it on top of the blue and silver paper, placed that onto the top of black, and then a color to match the teal color of the designer paper as the final layer. 

This was a really cute image! It's so adorable! I hope that you will drop by and join us over at the Crafty Gals Corner! 

Thank you for stopping by!

Blessings, Jeanie Ellis
