Smile for the Camera

At Bugaboo Holiday Chaos, the day 5 challenge is a photo inspiration,

So I thought most of them were elves so I focused on using an elf. And most of the photo is red and green so I used those colors in my card too.

This is the Bugaboo image called Elf 003. I colored him with Spectrum Noir markers. Then used Recollections Glitz to add some sparkle to the image. The designer paper at the top of the card is from American Craft. The ribbon is from my stash. The sentiment is from Bird's Cards. I colored it with the same markers that I used on the image and popped it up with foam tape. I used green cardstock for the card base and added a layer of black cardstock to make the colors pop. I am entering these challenges:

• Bugaboo Holiday Chaos: Day 5: photo inspiration
• Sketch Saturday: sketch 
  
• Hiding in my Craft Room: Christmas colors
• Outlawz Monday Greetings challenge: Christmas colors
• Crafty Friends challenge: Christmas
• Crafty Hazelnut Christmas challenge: anything goes

I am going to have to stop making Christmas cards so I can write them and send them out. So that's my next big project. I played with the kids at Head Start this morning. Another fun time! Arthur is learning his numbers. He doesn't quite have 5 and 7 down yet but he counts to ten with a little prompting for 5 and 7. It's so amazing to watch him point to numbers when you ask him to find something. He's going to be one smart little boy! Thanks for stopping by tonight. Take care!
