Yapee Christmas - It's a Dogs tale

Good day I am here with a card i made for the challenge at Beccys Place.

Her month long Christmas Challenge is coming to a close and I am happy to say that she has well and truly smashed her entries from last year.

Each day she has been using a letter of the Alphabet as inspiration.

So today I am sharing a card i made with one of her non Christmas images but I have added a Christmas hat to him.

I wonder if he is a Yapee Dog and is that why he is wondering if he is on the naughty or good list. What do you think?

Image is from the set Dogs Tales and is available HERE

coloured with promarkers

Dp from stash

Embossing folder is from a magazine freebie

Fluffy stuff for his hat and some red glitter card to mat the sentiment 

Sentiment is from Christmas Goose set available HERE

Well what do you think is he on the good list or naughty.

Sorry with those puppy eyes I am putting on the good list.

Thanks for popping by call back tomorrow as it is time for a new challenge at Crafty Catz and I am the host.

Sparkle and Shine at Passion for Promarkers

Hello there have you had a good day. I am a little late with my post today, and you may have seen our new challenge at Passion For Promarkers already.

If not then let me tell you about it.

Our host this week is Shelly and she has picked our theme

Sparkle and Shine

perfect for all those Christmas makes dont you think.

Our sponsor for this week is

 Leann’s World 101

I got to play with one of their images called  ‘fun with stockings’

close up of the image hopefully you can see the glitter on the stocking top and her hem of the dress

There is also glitter on the ivy

The shine is the gems and the mirri card.

I have used my promarkers a must for our challenge

Die cuts are Sizzix and Marianne

A old seed stamp for the sentiment

The embossing is a Couture creations folder Moonlit Berries

Fussy cut the image and added some satin and organza ribbon at the top.

Now it is your turn I do hope that you can come and play along with us.

We look forward to seeing what your making as we get inspiration from hopping over.
