Bugaboo CIJ Fun

I've had a chance to play a bit this week but I am behind in posting my cards. So I'm going for two in this post and hoping to get caught up. Both of these cards are for the Christmas in July challenge at Catch the Bug. Day 3 is an ABC challenge: anything but a card.

I made an ornament using a used ribbon spool. The image is Stocking Santa Ornament.

The image is colored with Spectrum Noir markers. Designer paper is American Craft Christmas Collection. I used a snowflake punch and several layers of snowflakes glued together to decorate the ornament. The ribbon is from my stash. Add some Crystal Stickles on the Santa image. 

Entering these challenges:

• Bugaboo Christmas in July Day 3: Anything but a card (Santa Claus is Coming to Town)
• Crafting By Designs: get ready for Christmas
• Penny's Paper-Crafty challenge: anything goes
• Through the Craft Room Door: anything goes
• Monday Simon Says: not a card

So for the Day 4 CIJ challenge there is a bingo board and the movie is Elf.

My card uses the middle row: sparkle, Bugaboo image, sentiment

The elf image is Elf 003. I colored him with American Craft and Spectrum Noir markers and added lots of Stickles to the image. I also used Stickles on the edges of the scalloped papers. The patterned paper is American Craft Christmas collection. The sentiment is from AlteNew.

Entering these challenges:

• Bugaboo CIJ Day 4: Bingo; Movie is Elf
• Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge: sketch 
  
• Rudolph Days challenge: anything goes Christmas 
• Modsquad challenge: all the sparkles
• Crafty Hazelnut Christmas: for a child
• The Outlawz Festive Friday: Christmas

We spent most of the day today at our Baby Creek house. Had a friend out for lunch that we haven't seen for quite some time. It was nice to sit on the front porch and watch the birds while we ate and chatted. It's amazing how fast the time flies. Hope your week is on the down swing and you are looking forward to a relaxing weekend.
