Make It Crafty Christmas Blog Hop


Hello everyone! I am back today with a Christmas Blog hop for Make It Crafty's new Christmas release. OMGosh these are the cutest images ever! Wait till you see them!  Here is the card I created for today's blog hop.




Isn't she just the sweetest angel?  I'm not sure that I quite like how I've colored her but I gave it my best shot due to time constraints. I used a combination of copics and colored pencils for this image - actually I tend to use both mediums with every image that I color. I'd love to hear what you think?

Today, we are also celebrating Zoe's birthday during this hop and are all offering up some candy that we've assembled on our own.  I have a Magnolia unmounted stamp to share with my followers and who comment on this blog post. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZOE!! <3



You'll have two weeks, until October 12th, to visit each member in the hop below and winners will be announced on Friday, October 14th on their individual blogs.

Jen
Viv
Angela  -- YOU ARE HERE
Annika

Also, Zoe if offering 15% off ALL the Christmas digis from now until Sunday, October 2nd. It's only for this week so hurry on over to Make It Crafty to pick up a few of these adorable  new Christmas digis. There will be a coupon code listed at the Make It Colourful blog.


We wanted to make sure everyone was included in our celebration so we're giving away Party Girl Zoe as a freebie to everyone who wants to join in and spread some birthday cheer!! All you need to do is create a new project using a Make it Crafty image or chippies and upload it into the gallery HERE by October 12th.  Then email Barbara, at ForgottenScraps@gmail.com with a link to your project to claim her!

We hope you will enjoy the hop and make sure you head on over to Zoe's personal blog and wish her a Happy Birthday!

Take care and have fun hopping!

Melanie said...

Ooh Angela, you've picked my favorite image of the release and done a beautiful job of colouring her.

I love all the gold on the card and the blue highlights the angel beautifully. I especially like the hanging charm.

I like how you combine the two mediums, it's what I will eventually move to - still learning how to make the copics work yet.

Lovely candy too!!
