2016 in Review (Part 2)

Evening all! Well that was a shock to the system. First school runs of the year and to top it off the weather was freezing!

Today I’m going to share July to December of my 2016 round up. You can find January to June here in yesterday's post.

July

One of my first few projects after I joined the DT for Polkadoodles was this cute card using Winston Bear Heartfelt and my favourite make from July:

August

This paper pad has already featured on my yearly round up, but paired with this Punch of Colour Girls image from Crafts & Me it has made my favourite card of August:

September

My favourite card(s) from September are these clean and simple (for me) cards. They were quite quick to make a little batch of, as they use digital elements from Polkadoodles’ Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun Download Collection:

October

Another month where Mr Mojo was running at 110%. There were quite a few cards I could have picked but this one stood out as I was so pleased with how the hair turned out. This is Aurora Prayer from The East Wind :

November

One of the few personalised Christmas cards I made this year was for my Mum and Dad and used this fabulous image Chilly in Love from Pink Gem Designs. This is my favourite make from November:

 

December

In a break from all the Christmas cards I coloured up some images that Nikky from Polkadoodles drew depicting the older lady….actually Old Bags…lol. This one is Revolting Kiss and is one of my favourite pieces of colouring for the year:

 

 

If you have done your own round review of last year please let me know in the comments as I would love to pop by and take a look.

Aurora Prayer

Evening All. Just a quick post before I head off to bed.

The routine starts again tomorrow, after what has been a relaxed half term holiday’s full of migraines, icky bugs and things. At least we have Halloween tomorrow, we managed to get our Pumpkins carved!

Anyhoo, It’s time for a new challenge at The Sketchy Challenges and this time it’s a sketch challenge designed by me:

Lucky I had made this one a while ago as I’ve not done much (if any) crafting for the last week. I’ve used Aurora Prayer from The East Wind:

I have left this one without a sentiment at the moment, but I think it would make a good ‘Thinking of You’ card.

And I’ve had a play with those lovely Maja Design Papers again!

Supplies:

• Image: Aurora Prayer from The East Wind
• Colouring Medium: Copics
• DP: Maja Design 
• Card: Lilac Card, White Card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card 
• Ink: Ranger ‘Weathered Wood’ Distress Inkpad
• Dies & Punches: Spellbinder Plain and Scalloped Circles and a Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions Border Die
• Embellishments: Pearls, Lace and Doodling
