Monthly Challenges - Gina K Designs, Waffle Flower, Hero Arts

 Getting these done just under the wire for a few monthly challenges :)

First is the Gina K Designs Monthly Mix Challenge entry:

I used the Playful Penguins and the sentiment strip from the Joyful Holiday card kit for my design. I couldn't decide which penguin to use since they are all so sweet -I created a slimline card so I could use 3 of them. The sentiment from the kit was die cut and foiled in pewter foil (I love that these can be foiled!).  

Next is the Waffle Flower November Challenge - Most Wonderful Time:

I really loved how the host, Galina, used her slim line dies to create a wine bottle tag - such a creative idea and I had to give it a try. I love these layered mittens from the Warm Hands stamp set and thought they would make a great focal point for the tag - especially against a snowy background :)

Finally, my entry for the Hero Arts Stay Crafty Challenge where the theme is holiday tags:

I fell in love with the November MMH kit and scooped it up as soon as it was released :) The tags I created were very inspired by Jennifer McGuire (here) - I love the white on kraft tags that she made and I did the same thing using an older Impression Obsession background stamp. I also used an older Hero Arts set - Irreverent Elf Messages - for the sentiments. I love how these sentiments pair so well with the critters from the kit.

I will also enter these projects in Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where Anything Goes :)

Thanks for stopping by!
