Scribbles Design's Year in Review

It's midway through the last challenge of 2018 at Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog. The theme is "Year in Review" and crafters have until January 14th to  link their projects at the main challenge blog. If you choose to follow the optional theme, you can pick out any of the 11 previous (2018) challenge themes for your project. This is a win-win opportunity here, as  one of those themes is ANYTHING GOES.
I chose to create a card with the May "Make It Masculine" theme. And what a paper, am I right? The paper is called Clockworks and is from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles. I love this big old pattern of the inner and outer workings of a clock, with all its gears and gizmos.This  concept of time can be used in birthday, friendship, even sympathy cards, as well as many other projects.

The image I used for my card is Scribbles Designs' #800 Treasure Chest. I colored my image with colored pencils to get that weathered look just right. Here's where digital and handmade come in: I digitally placed on my paper a couple shapes (heart & star), then printed it. I printed the treasure chest twice so that I could cut out parts of the second image to give it more dimension. 
I love using Scribbles Designs' Treasure Chest with the sentiment above: There is no greater Treasure than a  Good Friend". What a perfect pairing, right? Since this card is going to a veteran I met at the VA hospital, I kept the design simple. 
So that's MY take of the Scribbles Designs Year in Review. Are you going to play along? You have 14 days in which to capture your Muse and shake some inspiration from her (kind of like pixie dust) and link it to the challenge blog. Happy crafting! 
And a Happy New Year to you, too!

Year in Review at Scribbles Designs

Wow, can you believe how fast 2018 flew by? I don't know about you, but I think my year went quickly because I was so busy with school, traveling, crafting and setting myself up to sell my art and teach craft workshops. All in all, it was a successful year, although overshadowed by the loss of my husband. A bittersweet year of grief, growth, self-realization and exploration.

At Scribbles  Designs Challenge Blog, the theme is Year in Review. Check out all the themes offered in 2018, choose one and create a project for your chance to win a gift certificate to the Scribbles Store. My card was inspired by Challenge #68, Year of the Dog. The image I used is 441 Santa Puppy Hat . Isn't he cute? Of course, my Silkie Terrier, Wilson, is just as cute!

While trying (once again) to organize my craft room, I re-discovered my crimper. I think the crimped paper gives the card a little extra dimension. I also used a sentient from the Scribbles Store called Happy Howl-idays! I think my Christmas card turned out well, don't you?

You have until January 14th to link up your project for the Scribbles Challenge. Don't be late, like I am (my DT make should have been posted yesterday, YIKES!). Hope to see your art at the main blog. Happy crafting!
