Wow, I can't stress enough about how much I need you to show some love to these sponsors.  We wouldn't be celebrating 5 years as a challenge blog without these sponsors throughout the year.  Please go and say 'Thank You'.

Now let me show you what I have created for the Anniversary/Year End Challenge of Anything Goes.  Here we go...

This image is from Bugaboo Stamps. and is called 'Birthday Elle'.
 I just love elephants.  This was fun to color and design. 
Happy New Year 2019 are rub on numbers and
Happy New Year I cut out using
my KNK Zing w/ Make The Cut Software.

This image is from The Paper Nest Dolls.  She is called 'Sewing Avery'.
 I loved coloring her.  I had a lot of fun on the background. 
I found a quilt block pattern I liked and actually
 quilted on paper with paper I picked out.  Here's a pic...

I cut all the little squares and right triangles using
Make The Cut software.  Next I scaled it to the size I wanted for the
 background.  Super Simple and looks pretty darned cool.

Well that's it for 2018.  Where has the year gone.  I hope to make some changes to the blog for 2019.  Maybe a new design but for sure letting you know what I used for each project.  

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 

Next challenge is January 2, 2019 and it's a blog hop to introduce the new Design Team Members. 

I might have some blog candy to give away. 

So until next year (hahaha) Bright Blessings,

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge # 180 Anything Christmas Goes

Guess what??? There are only 20 days until Christmas.  Are you ready?  I know that I'm not.  Still have some shopping to do and about a day and a half of wrapping to get done.  But I needed a break and decided to color an image for this new challenge. But first, our sponsor(s)...

SheepSkiDesigns
Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Star Stampz
Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

The Cutting Cafe
Prize ~ 2 Sets

I know, I harp on this every challenge.  Please go show some love for our sponsors.  They would greatly appreciate it.

This week I have colored a image from Star Stampz called Christmas Tangle.  This is such a fun image.  I colored it using my Prismacolor Colored Pencils.  

I wanted a special Christmas card for a dear friend.  So I dug out some paper by American Crafts.  The paper series is called Sweater Weather and this sheet with the snowmen is called Snow Friends.  Found it at Tuesday Morning a while back.  The frame is holographic paper from the $1 store.  Here are some better pics...

The front.  I used some vellum and printed out the words.

Love the inside.  The Snow Friends paper is double sided. 
the green is the inside on my card.

The back of the card.  

I think my friend will enjoy this card.  At least I hope so.  So that is it from me for this challenge.  The next challenge (Dec 21st) will be the year in celebration.  We try to celebrate each sponsor who has graciously sponsored our challenges this year.  So stay tuned for that challenge.  

As the back of my card this challenge says, May the beauty of Christmas be with you all year through!

Bright blessings,
