Can You Digi It - Challenge 24 - Baby, It's Cold Outside!


Baby, It's Cold Outside!!  This is the theme of the challenge starting today - and running until December 17th.  And, here is the storyboard provided for some inspiration:



My inspiration came from the 2 pictures on the top and bottom right.  I used an adorable image from Loopy4Digis for Can You Digi It titled Musical Penguin.  I also used the wonder digi papers from Green Goddess Creations for Can You Digi It titled Krafty Christmas 1 and 2.  I love these papers and have used them on several different cards this year for Christmas!  The sentiment is just something I typed up on the computer and printed out - it will actually be on the inside of the card.

So, you have a couple of weeks to come up with a card for this fun challenge - and if you enter a card - you are in the running for a prize!

Card Recipe:

Stamp:  Musical Penguin by Loopy4Digis for Can You Digi It
Paper:  MFP White Heavy Premium 140 lb. CS; MFP Cherry Slush CS; Green Goddess Creations Digi Paper Krafty Christmas 1 & 2
Ink:  Copics:  Sweater:  R29, 27, 24 and 22; Penguin's cute little feet and beak:  YR24, 23 and 21; iPod YR08

SQUIGGLEFLY NEW ARTIST - ELIZABETA KUSHNER

 
 
Squigglefly has another new artist - and her name is Elizabeta Kushner - she has the most wonderful and adorable images.  This cute image is titled Lady Gnome.  She is really holding a huge strawberry - but because I wanted to make a Christmas card, I just put some poinsettias on top of the strawberry.  The sentiment is from a group of sentiments that Holly Young put together and they are all adorable and fun!!
 
 
The proceeds from the stamps that Elizabeta sells all go to a non-profit organization in Crotia to promote art.
 
 
There are lots of new images in the Squigglefly store today - hop over and check them out!  Remember, each Monday - there is a new challenge at Squigglefly's challenge blog!
