Christmas Nutcracker

My last hello and post for you today, Friends....this time from ATC's and Cards with Attitude!  This fortnight our theme is Add A Tag or Sentiment, or you can enter as Anything Goes.  Gets me confused sometimes! lol Happens easily.  I think that is why my nickname of Goof Ball and Silly Sissy.  I don't mind as it keeps me amused in my head! lol  Oh I have been full of nonsense today!  Let's get on with it.....here is Christmas Nutcracker by Saturated Canary, one of our sponsors this fortnight.  The other is A & T Digital Designs, the store with those unique fairy images.  Wow, to win from either of these sponsors will be a real treat!

Goodness, this is the cutest image!  Colored with Prisma Pencils.  The Tiny Ticket tag was taken from the Stitchy Bear Store.  Such a handy and great Christmas tag set.  I hope you like this sweet Saturated Canary card.   

My Friends, I am wishing you the best weekend and coming week.   I just know there will be Bright Spots for you.   Be on the look out for them, they are there waiting for you to notice.  Bye Bye for now!

ps see all those beautiful snowflakes all glittered up?  They were sent to me by my special New Zealand friend, along with many other cuts I use on my cards.  You can see this very talented and lovely Lady's work here.  She really is a gem.   Oh I almost forgot, she also bought me this image as a gift!  She truly is a special one.

Nut-Cracker!

Hello again, Friends!

Now we are on to Fat Pages and Cards with Attitude!  Our theme this fortnight is "Thanks for the Bling."  Sort of a play on Thanksgiving, but with our fans who do not celebrate Thanksgiving in mind.  Clever, eh?  LOL.  Oh dear, I remember now that Abbie didn't really know what Bling was so she changed the theme to Add A Sentiment or Tag, the same as our sister challenge, ATC's and Cards with Attitude.  But I did mine with Bling in mind. LOL  But of real importance, you can follow the theme or do Anything Goes!  We always have Anything Goes.  That way you can do your Christmas cards early or a birthday coming up. Very convient challenge with such fantastic sponsor images for you to win.  This fortnight our sponsors are Sassy Studio Designs, My Grafico and my very own DT, A & T Digital Designs (who has the images of the post just below this one). 

I colored this Sassy Studio Designs image, The Nutcracker, with Prisma Pencils.  Here she is in all her glory, just dancing away.  Oh wait a sec, I've never seen the Nutcracker play, can anyone tell me what it is about?  In pictures I have seen, a Ballerina is dancing and singing to the Toy Soldier.  I wonder what she is saying to him......

No reason not to see you at Fat Pages and ATC Challenges!  Please drop by and check us out.  We have wonderful inspiration from our very talented DT and the best sponsors ever!  Oh and Top 3 too!  New changes are coming also, so it is all very exciting at these two challenge.  Most important is that we love seeing what you create!

Bye bye for now.  Remember those Bright Spots!

PS I have to give credit to Karen C, who made the pin poking in the ribbon.  Isn't the netting just perfect for the image?   You can visit her blog to see her fab cards and also the link to her Etsy store where she sells her pins.  You have to go and look!  You will ewwww and ahhhhh at all the lovelies she has!   (she also sent me the flourish that I colored with a clear Stardust gel pen)
