Through the Purple Haze Challenge #27--Love is in the Air

Happy Monday, everyone!  I hope you're all snug and warm inside.  We got about three inches of snow last night, so we're out of school for a SNOW DAY today!!!

Our newest challenge at Through the Purple Haze is Love is in the Air and is sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs, who will be awarding the winner of this challenge four digis!

They so graciously provided the DT with images, so I chose the French Maid image and created a happy birthday card:

I thought my card needed a French sentiment since she was a French maid!

Through the Purple Haze Here Comes Christmas Day with Penny Black

I can't believe it's less than two weeks until Christmas!  I hope you've all finished your Christmas shopping.  I still have a few things left to buy, and I have a few crafty projects I have to get completed.  For now, though, it's time for the last challenge of the year at Through the Purple Haze!  We're featuring Penny Black stamps, and the prize this week is three sets of Penny Black stamps.

I'm still a few Christmas cards short this year, so I used a Penny Black image to make this CAS Christmas card:

This image is so cute!  I used colored pencils to color the image, and I added six pearls from Creative Imaginations to add a little dimension to the package.  The sentiment is from craft smart and one I picked up at Michael's at some point, and I used Evergreen Dye Ink from Marcella by K to stamp the image and to ink the edges around the sentiment.  I followed the sketch from addicted to stamps and will be entering the challenge there.
