Celebrations.

It's time again for the midway reminder for the Craft My Life Dec/Jan challenge. The sponsors for the current challenge are:
 
 
The Theme is as usual Anything Goes.....but no cards. We would be delighted to see you so do please come on over and join in the fun.
I have chosen to work with a Bugaboo image and created a 2014 Wall Calendar. This is the January page and as you can see I'm still celebrating!!
 
Image has been coloured using Graph'it pens and Pearlescent chalks.
Die cut is Spellbinders  'Romantic Rectangles'.
Blue pearl paper a snippet from stash along with the bakers twine.
Date created in word.
Month cut from a mini planner.
 
Close up of digi.
I really missed not being able to use my light box.
You can see the difference in the wall colouring though the photos were all  taken at the same time.
I coloured the image twice and cut out the figure  and balloon from one  of them.
 
Side view showing the image adhered on top using  3d foam pads.
Entering into the following challenges:
Paper Minutes #302: wall decoration.
Brown Sugar #75: Use ribbon or twine (I used Bakers twine).
Digi Galore: Girly.
Natalie and Amy's Challenge #16: One for the Girlies.
Creative Inspirations  #246: Celebration.
Catch The Bug :Anything goes.
Pixie's Crafty Workshop:  Use up your snippets (blue pearl card).
Creative Craft #26: Anything goes.
Creative Moments #33: Anything goes.
Crafting By Designs: Anything goes.

I know just how she feels! That is the cutest image, and loved your coloring & adding dimension with the 2nd set of figures. That S/B was perfect with this image, adding the elegance this lady really needed badly! You're off to a grand start for the New Year. TFS - Hugs & hope ya'll are staying warm tonight. Brrrr.

Hi Mrs A

Yep, I too hate it if I need to photograph something that won't cram into my light box!

I really struggle with table plans and post boxes!!! Hubby found a huge light box thingy on ebay that you could stand in the corner of a room with floor standing lights .. .. I think I could have sat inside .. .. but I told him they were "a little over the top for what I needed" LOL!!!

I hope you had a lovely Christmas and wish you and your family a happy 2014.

Ooops ... great calendar by the way.

Love Jules xx

Just love the image!

Darnell said...

Tee Hee! I do love this wall hanging, Mrs. A! It is really perfect for January, but truthfully, we should be partying like New Year's Eve at least once a month throughout the year, so she could handle all the months as they come! I predict you'll be a winner in these challenges!! Hugs, Darnell
