CSAYL Challenge #26 -- Inspiration Photo




Morning, everyone!  It's time for a new challenge at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long.  The sponsor for CSAYL #26 is Bugaboo, and one lucky participant will win 7 digis of their choice!


We have an Inspiration Photo to inspire you this week:


 For my card above, I took my inspiration from the colors, cake and the cute penguin cookie.  I used two Bugaboo images, Poppi Xmas Cane and Birthday Cake.  It was easy to make a Christmas cake... I just merged a candy cane over the cake's birthday candle.  Coloring was done with Copics and Prismacolor Markers.  Embellishments include glitter, fun flock, as well as a  ribbon and a rhinestone which have been in my stash forever!

Click HERE to go directly to the CSAYL challenge to see the rest of the team's wonderful creations and join in the fun.  

I will be entering my card in the following challenges:
Crafting by Designs Challenge -- Christmas in July
Belli Challenge #174 -- Christmas
Crafty Ribbons Challenge 54 -- Anything Goes with Ribbon
Crimbo Crackers Challenge -- Anything Goes with a Christmas theme
Shelly's Images July 2013 Challenge -- Anything Goes with a Christmas theme

Enjoy your weekend, and many thanks for taking the time to stop by!
