Card
I attached alphabet chipboard letters onto blue card which I ripped to give a snow effect, I added doodling, ribbons, and a brad with a rub-on greeting on it.
~~~~~~~







Card
I started by cutting the large 16 out of mickey mouse paper with my cricut then I matted it on holographic card. Then stuck the numbers onto some bright yellow firework paper. Mickey mouse eyelets were used down the edges. I wrote the name with stickers and finished it all of with some black gems.
~~~~~~~~





Card
I covered a card blank with patterned paper. From gold card I cut a heart shape and glued this to the base card. From pink paper I cut out a skull & crossbones, edged it with black ink and attached it with 3d foam on top of the heart. I spelled out the recipients name with alphabet stickers for a personal touch.
~~~~~~~~





Scrapbook Page
It is a page I made of my granddaughter, using a nestability die for the mats, and a quote, flowers and ric rak to embellish. I cut her name from a QK Revolution alphabet set called Lemonade (I think!).
~~~~~~~~





Card
I decided to use the challenge to make my Brother's Birthday card. His hobby is photography so I decided to use an image from the Card Toonz Professional Nuttyness CD. My little Owl photographer is decoupaged up six layers, glittered slightly and mounted onto Nestabilities mats. I used a Sizzix alphabet to personalise the card with his name.

Card
To make it... I doodled three flowers onto patterned paper and placed them onto doodled stems. I then attached a ribbon and a sentiment sticker then finally doodled a scallop border and coloured it with a Pro Marker pen in 'Cornflower' colour.
~~~~~~~

Twinchie
I stamped the leaf image in white stazon then drew around them with white gel pen. I then doodled in the corners. The leaves were then stamped again in bron stazon and then drawn round the same way. I finished it off by writing leaves in white gel pen and adding 3 small gold coloured gems. The leaves were stuck on with silicon glue and all edged with gold krylon pen.
~~~~~~~~






Card
I covered a base card with red paper, cut a strip of patterned paper and punched a scalloped border to one edge then adhered to the base. I cut a thinner strip of paper, doodled a border round the edge and placed this across the punched piece. I cut a swirl from paper, doodled on some dots then stuck this to the base card. I stamped the sentiment, added a brad to the centre of a chipboard flower and stuck these to the card. Finally I doodled a border around all four edges of the base card.

~~~~~~~~






Card
I stamped a Penny Black Christmas greeting, and doodled all round the edges of it by drawing some holly and berries and faux stitches. I painted in the holly leaves with Adirondack Lettuce Ink Pad and also painted some plain white card so I could mat it after I had matted it onto red. Finally I added some matching green ribbon along the bottom.
~~~~~~~~







Card
When I first heard what the challenge was I was wary - I don' t do much doodling as my efforts always look wrong! So my card just has a doodled border around the edge of the circle. I used a Mimi image from Denami Designs and coloured with Zig Brushables and Sakura Stardust pens. matted and layered onto patterned paper and embellished with a decorative corner and some jewelled Flora Doodles!

Then I stamped Linda Luckin's gorgeous teddy - my favourite stamp of all time. I then stamped the words with a versafine ink pad and rubbed around the edges with black. The edge of the dotty paper was punched with my stampin' up punch. I finished it off with bits and pieces I found lying around on my craft table!

I covered the canvas in Vintage Photo Distress ink and some Copper dabber. I stamped my House Mouse image on a piece of card and watercoloured it in, then added it to the canvas with a phrase stamped image too. Finally I added some Primas and Stickled the centres and areas of the canvas too.

I have stamped the background using various Autumn shades of dye ink, working from light to dark and overlapping the images. I have then stamped leaves and flowers onto co-ordinated Bazill card stock, cutting them out and mounting 3D.

I stamped the leaves with vintage sepia versafine and then stamped the tw ig tree one of Linda Luckin's designs with the same ink pad. I distressed the edges of the tree paper and inked them. I then added ribbon an d a word tag.

Card
I used the threading water punch on the top and bottom edge of the striped paper and mounted this onto the white base card. I cut a strip of co-ordinating paper and placed this across the centre. I cut a scalloped circle of text paper, then cut out the round snowflakes from some patterned paper and glued to the base. Using the Cuttlebug cut and emboss trees I cut out three trees in co-ordinatin g cardstock, embossed them, sanded them and placed them onto the scalloped circle.
