Hey there, these are my last VSN challenge projects for the day unless I can finish the one that's sitting on my desk (no pressure!). This one post contains three of the challenges. I recently purchased the Valerie digi set from Mo's Digital Pencil and I couldn't wait to color them! Waaayyyy too sweet! To conserve time, I used the same Copic markers and pattern paper on all three cards...I just changed up the layout. Love this color combo for Christmas!
This first one is for Alison's (newstampinaddict) It's a Snow Fight challenge. We were to incorporate a snowball or even a snowball fight into our projects. The image is Valerie with Snowball...she was sized then printed and colored with Copic markers.

This second card is for Lee's (LuvLee) challenge, Snow Falling in Color. The challenge was to create snow in any form (stamped, Flower Soft, Stickles, Liquid Applique, etc.), but make it in color...not white! The image, Valerie with Snowman, includes Copic colored snow. Just in case that wasn't enough, a die cut snowflake was added after it was colored with Copic markers. A Sparklet that was colored with V95 completes the card.

This last card is for Kim's (StampingSpud) Staying Warm challenge. She wanted us to incorporate something we do to stay warm. The image is Valerie with Pup and it's perfect...when I'm cold, I bundle up! Isn't that pup buried in the snow a riot!?!

Hey there, Splitcoaststampers is having a Virtual Stamp Night (VSN) on December 14th and 15th and to kick off the event, they are having a VSN mini this weekend...the theme is Comfy & Cozy. Lisa's (aka SinCityGal) challenge, Hot Beverage, is to create a project with a hot beverage on it. My card technically doesn't have a hot beverage...but it did before this little guy moved in! The image is from Mo's Digital Pencil and it's called Not Even a Mouse. Way too cute!
Here's the inside...pretty basic but it does the trick.

Hey there, I'm back with another Hope You Can Cling To card for the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center card drive through Splitcoaststampers. Dina (aka Dini) challenged us to "Start Spreading the News!". She wanted us to make a card inspired by a show tune (any song...title or lyrics...from any musical or movie)! YIKES! I didn't have any idea what I wanted to do. There were so many great songs from musicals/movies, I just didn't know where I wanted to start. Then as I was flipping through a catalog, I saw it..."Rebel with a Cause" and it even had a pink ribbon for Breast Cancer Awareness month. It all clicked from there! I computer generated the sentiment and used this awesome Mo Manning digi...oh, but what about a musical/movie song? I've got that covered! *grin* OK...my movie is from 1935 and called The Littlest Rebel starring Shirley Temple and the song, well, that's Polly Wolly Doodle. Do you remember it? Here's the chorus:
Fare-thee well,
Fare-thee well,
Mister gloom be on your way,
If you think you're gonna worry,
you can stop it in a hurry,
sing Polly-wolly-doodle all the day!
Perfect, right? But it gets better...Dina told us about the possibility of our HYCCT cards doing double duty through a Pink Challenge sponsored by Copic Oz. Their challenge is to make a pink project using Copic markers then link to their post and for every project linked, $5 will go to the McGrath Foundation (one of Australia's leading Breast Cancer Foundations). So there you have it...one card...TWO great causes!!! It really doesn't get any better than that!
Here's the inside...
