Christmas Tags

Before I get to this week's challenge at Lollipop Crafts I want to let you all know that this will be my last challenge with the Lollipop Girls. The Lollipop team has been a wonderful group of ladies to work with during my time with the team. Due to just a lot of stuff going on in my life and family I decided to step down and try to focus on getting things back on track. My posting may be sparse for a while because my crafting has been too.

Now on to this week's challenge at Lollipop Crafts. It is CHRISTMAS TAGS.

The sponsor this week is Fairy Knoll. The winner of this week's challenge gets their choice of 5 digis from their store.

Head on over to Lollipop Crafts and see what the other Lollipop Girls did for their Christmas Tag creations.

Christmas Card

Even though this week is Thanksgiving at Lollipop Crafts our challenge is *Christmas*.

I made a vercy simple card and used some chipboard as an accent along with the flowers. The only stamping I did was the sentiment and I even embossed it.

Our sponsor this week is Limited Runs Digi's.

The winner receives 3 digis of choice. and the Top 3 receives 1 digi of choice.

Head on over to Lollipop Crafts and see and the other Lollipop Girls did for their Christmas creations.

Ribbons and Buttons with Lollipop Crafts

The challenge this week at Lollipop Crafts is to use ribbon and buttons on your project.

I used Fresh Brewed Designs image called "Have a Tweet Christmas". I just typed the sentiment under the image before I printed it. It is colored with Copics and the fluff on the hat is made with Liquid Applique. The challenge is to use ribbon and buttons which I did but it ended up looking more like a "non-traditional" Christmas card. Maybe it's because the heat index was 111 degrees on Friday when I made the card. Not feeling very Christmasy around here right now.

Our sponsor this week is Fresh Brewed Designs, so one lucky challenge participant will win some images from them. You can check out their digi images at their Etsy shop HERE.

Now check out Lollipop Crafts and see what the other Lollipop Girls did for their ribbon and buttons project.

I had fun with this challenge. I pulled this paper out of my card scrap pile so I have no idea what line or brand it is. The sentiment is a Studio G $1 stamp that I got last year at JoAnn's. The trees I have had for a loooong time. This is a perfect card to give to one of my girlfriends.
