Crafty Gals Corner Challenges - Christmas in July

A big HELLO to all my fellow crafty peeps! I'm so glad you stopped by! One of my favorite things to make is Christmas cards or anything Christmas! So this week, Christmas in July is our theme. Yay! Here are our amazing sponsors for this week:

Sparkle N Sprinkle

Prize: $15 Gift Certificate

Polkadoodles

Prize: $15 Gift Certificate

My Besties

Etsy/ Store

Prize: The following 3 images

I just love the image I colored. I used a My Besties image, the 1st one in the group of 3 you see above there. Love the candy canes in her hair! 

I decided I would use my glitter/gel pens for the majority of this image, because I wanted some of that glitter in her outfit. And other parts, I used markers. It was hard to decide which of the 3 I wanted to do, but I'm glad I went with her. Here she is:

I had a ton of fun doing something a little different in the coloring department. But before I started her, I decided I'd go ahead and make some new flowers to make especially for this card. No, they're not the typical poinsettias. But they work! Then I used red cardstock, glitter paper, and white cardstock for the background. I added a sentiment and rhinestones, and she was done!

I hope you come by and join us in the challenge this week! And thanks for stopping by!

Blessings, Jeanie Ellis - Scrapbookingmamaw
