Candy Cane Hugs and Christmas Kisses

This post is a couple of days late as I have been mostly off the computer for the past week.

Anyway, this is my inspiration card for the midway of the April Challenge at 12 Months of Christmas.  The optional twist is Christmas Candy - and I've loaded my card with candy canes!

I have used a digital paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  Mine came out more blue rather than the teal from the 12 Months of Christmas posts.  My printer seems to have a mind of it's own when printing some colours.  I also used an image that I'm not sure of the source of and a sentiment by From The Heart Stamps.  Colouring is with copic markers.

Hello Friend!

 Reveal time at Card Chain Challenge.  My card for March went to Barbara in Switzerland.

I have followed the sketch:

as well as the colours (my colour of choice being pink)

and also On the Farm and Friendship (from Theme Options) and String (from Product/Technique Options)

The image is from A Day for Daisies and the sentiment is from Imagine That.  Colouring is with copic markers.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved

 Path of Positivity Challenge is back after a couple of months intermission.   The theme this month is Power of Words: Love/Relationships.  There are a series of quotes that the Design Team used for their projects.  I have used the quote by George Sand: There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved

I also used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.  The images are from A Day For Daisies, PaperCrafting World and I'm not certain of the source of the bottom one.  I also added some heart stickers.

Just For You

 Today is the start of the April Challenge at Incy Wincy Designs.  For this month, the themes are Inspired by Movie/Song/Book and/or Sketch Challenge.  I opted for the sketch challenge:

I have used a digital paper from Computer Scrapbook.  The images are from Bird's Cards, Create Me Pink, and Princess Bella Lockwood.  Colouring of the images is with copic markers and the edges have been inked with Distress Ink.  I added three rhinestones.

I am cutting this month's challenge at Beccy's Place a little fine.  I completed the card about a week ago but have just been struggling finding time to get on the computer and upload it.

and with the locking piece removed:

I have used a digital paper and image from Beccy's Place.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also added some ephemera.

I followed a tutorial for a Slide and Lock Card by Mrs A (Butterfly Challenge) 

I followed the centre row of the Tic Tac Toe for this month's challenge at Beccy's Place:

 

There is only one Happiness...

I struggled to decide what to do with this month's Progressive Freebie image at The Outlawz.  I finally decided that I would use both images

The Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge - March Image
https://theoutlawzchallenges-freebie.blogspot.com/2024/02/march-2024-progressive-freebie-challenge.html

The paper is from a paper pad by DCWV (I think - it is a really old paper pad that has lost it's cover).  The images are both supplied with the challenge at The Outlawz.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also added some Glossy Accents to their shields.
