December OCS for Shirley N. & some challenges!

I received my Lolli Anya in the mail when I got back from my trip.  It was sent to me because my card was chosen in the Club Anya - On ICE challenge.  I just had to ink her up!!!   I had to figure out how to use her for making a Christmas card.  Well, what do ya know, I turned her into sort of a candy stripe girl!

Teri, (who organized the Nov. & Dec. OCS), gave me Shirley N. as my OCS partner for the month of December!  I'm so thrilled to be paired up with her . . . you just gotta check out her blog, {click here}!  Shirley does some of the most gorgeous cards . . . not to mention, she pays particular attention to every detail!  :)  Talented woman!!!

As I was catching up with all the blogs and challenges, I had to participate in some of them.  I would hate to post this before Shirley sees my creation.  Sorry Shirley! :(  Just don't look and turn away and be surprised when you receive this in the mail!



{ A card and an ornament }








On the backside of this ornament is
the same sentiment as the card.

I saw this card while browsing Inking Idaho.  There are a lot of good ideas (& I luv all kinds of creative ideas!), even some for purchase.  Anyway, I made a 5 x 7 card and like usual, made up my own measurements and dimensions.  Here's the challenges I'm entering in . . .

~ Anyone for Anya? - Bling It On!

~ Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge #17 - Bling It Up!

~ Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #10 - Sparkle Baby!

~ Die Cuts R Us Challenge #20 - Naughty or Nice!

~ The Pink Elephant Challenge #45 - Winter &/or Christmas

NOTE:  I hope that you can see it, but I glued 45 gems/BLiNg on the candy DP!  Not to mention BLiNg on Lolli Anya too!  A total of 61 gems/BLiNg!!! Wowza!!!  Imagine if they were real diamonds :)

Ingredients?
Cosmo Cricket DP & CS, Lolli Anya, Nesties, Scallop Punch, Corner Rounder, BLiNg, BLiNg, & more BLiNg!, Christmas Red Stickles, White Fun Flock, ribbon, copics and my computer.  ***For the ornament, I used chipboard and a brad as well as some items listed above.

I enjoyed making these for Shirley!  Hopefully, she can place the Anya on her Christmas tree :)  JOURNEY on peeps!
