Winter wonderland

This fun card was created yesterday, but I couldn't get a good pic at night, so here he is today!

The image is from Octopode factory, which is my newest digi obsession

I was lucky enough to win their challenge last week, and couldn't wait to play along again this week!

The challenge this week is It's snowtime

I already had the snowman colored, and I've been playing with my alcohol inks this week,

So I figured I'd just keep it up!

So the blue background is alcohol inks, and also perfect for the January blues challenge at

Cupcake Craft Challenges!

Then I saw the Use ribbon challenge at Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges,

So I added the sparkly ribbon!

Which of course then I had to add some sparkly glitter embossing to the snowman 

(Hard to see but it's wherever there's blue on him!)

This of course picked up challenges for Sparkle shine or glitter at crafty sentiments,

And Make it sparkle at Use it Tuesdays!

Finally, here's the close up of mr snowman!

Which snowman is the challenge at Dilly Beans and Chocolate coffee cards

And finally a winter wonderland challenge at Love to create where I'm putting my name in the hat for a GDT spot! (Wish me luck!)

The pretty purple button was added as part of the Shopping our stash old buttons challenge!

Which of course led me to add the very very old snaps as well... 

Which are sort of a kind of button too I guess?

So there you have it! This is how I think when I'm in challenge mode! 

I love playing along with all of them because it gives me motivation to use the things I have in the craft room already! Which is the alcohol inks to me! 

And the challenge at Simon says stamp and show!

He he he had to sneak that last one in there! 

Oh yeah, and the background snowflakes are a fun stamp I got for FREE from Unity Stamps!  Yeah!

Have a crafty Wednesday!
