Firstly to show my husband what ombre was in colouring as our daughter had her nails done last week in blue ombre, but as her father has a form of colour blindness, the subtle changes were not apparent to him, so I made them more prominent.</p><p>Couldn't resist adding colour to the yellow nose and rosy cheeks though. Marker snow and some glitter completed the image. </p><p>Rummaging through a box for a label, I came across a pad of labels I bought a long time ago and I am sorry I can't remember where as I would love to have more of these labels.</p><p>At this stage I have made a tag, but maybe I might turn him into a card. The square at the top with the hole, is perforated and can be removed, leaving the top the same shape as the bottom.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAkQUYVhAvEgkjl9xLt_HQudLC2GIBrhAx_rgWR2nAIOBzARRs4kvmiYSBso_8e3d-Y2V93cf1oQSqZ0BHs0H2t8w7TyNwI5S09SdLozT81ns8nWCWYa3X-7nm6ULkQna33qJbCcpBForQzhQB-kzh3zKeiQl_nOu9D-IADAzQS5YK83KUPY6Ar1H0TGg/s800/24.01-Cara-Snowman.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAkQUYVhAvEgkjl9xLt_HQudLC2GIBrhAx_rgWR2nAIOBzARRs4kvmiYSBso_8e3d-Y2V93cf1oQSqZ0BHs0H2t8w7TyNwI5S09SdLozT81ns8nWCWYa3X-7nm6ULkQna33qJbCcpBForQzhQB-kzh3zKeiQl_nOu9D-IADAzQS5YK83KUPY6Ar1H0TGg/w300-h400/24.01-Cara-Snowman.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><p>Entered into:</p><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://theoutlawzchallenges-freebie.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge for January</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://theoutlawzchallenges-sunday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes - The Snowman by Wallace Stevens </a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://shoppingourstash.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Shopping your Stash - Fairy tale. </a>{The Snowman by Hans Christian Anderson) </div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://abcchristmaschallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">ABC Christmas - A for Anything Goes </a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://12monthsofchristmaslinkup.blogspot.com/2024/01/challenge-108-anything-goes-christmas.html" target="_blank">The 12 monthsa of Christmas - Anything Goes </a><br /></div>casshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01055022225142405117noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821103786514373290.post-16453073459652836662024-01-15T18:00:00.001+11:002024-01-15T18:00:00.266+11:00Crafter's Cafe - 15th January, 2024<p> This month's challenge is to decorate the edges of your project, deckle, stamp, ink, fancy cut etc, whatever you would like to do with the edges.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The sponsor is the wonderful Polkadoodles, check out the challenge blog to get all the details <a href="https://crafterscafeblogchallenge.blogspot.com/">https://crafterscafeblogchallenge.blogspot.com/</a></p><p style="text-align: left;">I chose to use Rebel Girl for a card that I am giving to a friend going through a hard time.

had just found a pack of craftpaper, that I had forgotten about when I
saw this image. I have printed the image 3 times to make a border on a

The saentiment is a stamp from Stampin Up.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuEwUhm9ZH9kiFoZ8sQWc8AzyhU94DhTv9WLbpIi8HeGMg_O6xHKC3tgTnIvWKBVJcWP0xYfu-vnbwJGhhX2vLf9VeGdO5Gq662Uqy5VhastB96wPzR1Mjg13LS_YwZhMSBPmR4V1zZgjsPfKyI2F7OBoeJBHzz1xbQX2ZOvpr5BGzOUBbnI00KLthEbE/s972/23.10--AnneFenton-Pumpkin-and-Cat.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="972" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuEwUhm9ZH9kiFoZ8sQWc8AzyhU94DhTv9WLbpIi8HeGMg_O6xHKC3tgTnIvWKBVJcWP0xYfu-vnbwJGhhX2vLf9VeGdO5Gq662Uqy5VhastB96wPzR1Mjg13LS_YwZhMSBPmR4V1zZgjsPfKyI2F7OBoeJBHzz1xbQX2ZOvpr5BGzOUBbnI00KLthEbE/s320/23.10--AnneFenton-Pumpkin-and-Cat.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>Entered into:</p><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://theoutlawzchallenges-freebie.blogspot.com/2023/09/october-2023-progressive-freebie.html" target="_blank">The Outlawz Progressive Freebie for October </a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://craftyanimals.blogspot.com/2023/10/challenge-77.html" target="_blank">Crafty Animals - AG, must include an animal </a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.com/2023/10/challenge-725-fall-colors.html" target="_blank">Little Red Wagon - Fall Colours </a></div><a href="http://fabnfunkychallenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Fab n Funky - Show us some colouring </a>casshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01055022225142405117noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821103786514373290.post-43717934627796702112023-10-02T16:00:00.009+11:002023-10-05T16:54:56.319+11:00A Place to Start - Anything Goes - 2nd October 2023<p> Another month and A Place to Start has a great sponsor <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ConieFongArt?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Search_AU_DSA_GGL_ENG_General-Nonbrand_Catch-All_New&utm_ag=AU-EN_DSA-General&utm_custom1=_k_Cj0KCQjwuMuRBhCJARIsAHXdnqNae1BfUNYiiQh71BYpGV5xJycCU25TteYYv4gsmm3NfXnXGyDUnUIaAojeEALw_wcB_k_&utm_content=go_11139630139_108871954773_536696778472_dsa-19959388920_c_&utm_custom2=11139630139&gclid=Cj0KCQjwuMuRBhCJARIsAHXdnqNae1BfUNYiiQh71BYpGV5xJycCU25TteYYv4gsmm3NfXnXGyDUnUIaAojeEALw_wcB">Conie Fong</a> for this month's challenge which is Anything Goes.
