CYP Holiday Havoc 2011 Blog Hop!!!

Welcome to Craft Your Passion Challenges "Holiday Havoc 2011" Blog Hop!!

We are very excited about holidays and wanted to add to the chaos and havoc.
What better way to do that, than to have a BLOG HOP!!!

If you have hopped over from Doreen's blog , then you are in the right place. If you just happened to stop by and would like to join our hop from the beginning, please go to Craft Your Passion Challenges and follow along for a chance to win some AMAZING blog candy along the way and PRIZES at the end.
All Craft Your Passion DT members are going to be playing along in the hop with some very special guest designers.

Each designer along the way is featuring a project that showcases a digital image from at least one of our amazing Blog Hop Sponsors.
What’s more exciting is you can participate too by creating a project and linking it up over at Craft Your Passion Challenges for a chance to win one of several prizes.

But, there’s a twist. Be sure to visit all the stops and leave a comment (we will be checking). Once you have finished the hop, we would like you to create a HOLIDAY project using at least one digital stamp and enter it with our Linky tool.
While you are hopping, be sure to check out the blog candy the designer's have to offer you. You don't want to miss out on any of it!

This wreath was created using my handy-dandy scoring board, lots of patience and of course these adorable images from Bugaboo Stamps, one of our terrific sponsors for the blog hop. I started with just a $.99 wooden floral ring, added each rosette with hot glue, then added the images and some fussy cut trees from a piece of patterned paper from Recollections. All it needed after that was a bubbly little ribbon bow to hang it from... Didn't it turn out just too cute?

This adorable image came from another of our blog hop sponsors, Paper Shelter. The card was kept simple, with just some color blocking, distressing the edges and using some punched circles from one of the patterned papers. It will be a great card to send out this Christmas season!

Next stop by Lisa's blog, to see what she has in store for you today.
Remember, once you have hopped to all the stops and left your comments (we will be checking), it's your turn to show us your "Holiday Havoc" project.
Make sure to include a digital stamp somewhere on your project, and link up your project over at Craft Your Passion Challenges by Midnight CST December 23 to be eligible for the prizes. Winners will be announced on our Monday, December 26th Challenge post.

CYP 82 - Bingo Board - Bugaboo

Craft Your Passion has another great challenge and sponsor this week. We are playing Bingo! Bingo with Bugaboo! (That's kinda fun to say...LOL).

If you haven't figured out yet, I'll let you in on a secret - I love angels. So, I was so excited to find this adorable image at Bugaboo to work with this week. Isn't it just too cute?

I colored the image with my Copics then I added tons of bling - picking some glitter paper to frame the image, adding glitter to the clouds and wings, some wire wrapped around the frame and threaded with some iridescent pearl beads, then finished it off with a diagonal bubbly bow. I added just a few extra clouds cut from a second image to the frame and a couple of extra stars scattered around as well. I think it turned out just too cute!

You can find Bugaboo here and the Craft Your Passion Challenge here. I would love to see what you can come up with!

Catch the Bug Challenge - Guest Designer

Exciting news!!! I was asked to join the Catch the Bug Challenge design team as a guest designer this week. They have a great photo inspiration challenge going on over there - you should definitely pop over and check out the eye-candy their team put together for you.

I used this great image "Stella Witch - Call Me Witch" - it just makes me giggle. I LOVE Stella! She's my hero! Says all the things we all want to say, but are just too darn afraid to say! LOL

For this card I kept it simple - coloring her with my Copics and using some scraps as a color blocked background. I added just a touch of bling by using a sequin ribbon to the edges of the orange DP. I had this great chipboard tree from Little Yellow Bicycle that fit perfectly for a back drop for Stella.

Bugaboo will be sponsoring our next challenge at Craft Your Passion starting on Monday, so make sure and pop over there for some other great Bugaboo inspiration.

CYP - Challenge 72 - They said "WHAT?" - Bugaboo

The challenge over at Craft Your Passion this week is "They Said WHAT?"... Great for those fun humor cards I love so much.

I have to admit that I relate with Stella from Bugaboo, our wonderful sponsor this week. Old, grey, cranky... some days more than others we could be twins! LOL

I colored her with my old, everyday, cheap, dollar store type colored pencils. I was amazed at what kind of detail and shading I could get using them. It turned out kinda fun to play with a new coloring medium and test my abilities.

I would love to see what you can come up with for our challenge at Craft Your Passion! Come join in the fun...
