Christmas countdown and Oozak Challenge

 Hello Bloggy friends! The countdown has begun! 25 days til Christmas! Good thing I got most of my shopping done on Black Friday. This weekend is the start of cookies! I pulled all  my great holiday tins out with the Christmas decorations and they are ready to be filled! Gotta admit I can't wait to make my fav Ginger snaps! YUM!

Well I hope you like this cute little countdown project. I found this great tutorial here. I thought it was the perfect idea for the new challenge over at Oozak challenges. If you haven't joined us at Oozak you really need to check it out. Rusty gives out the most amazing prizes! This month's challenge is super easy too! ANYTHING GOES! with a twist...add red. Easy right?!

 

A couple of details about my countdown calendar....Well I know you recognize Magnolia's Tilda from the Little Christmas Collection. The pattern paper is by Authentique called Festive. Tilda is colored in copics and my chipboard numbers with Fired Brick from Distress inks. The most challenging part of putting this together was figuring out what numbers go on what block so that you are able to countdown. It's a bit of a puzzle!

 

Don't forget to join us at Oozak Challenges. Come see what else the rest of the design team has to inspire! and join us! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

 

Challenges:

Dilly Beans: Anything Goes

Oozak November Challenge

Hello November! and another great challenge at Oozak Challenges. Rusty has fabulous prizes! Last month it was the complete set of DISTRESS Markers! Was that crazy or what?! If you joined us for that then hop over and take a look to see if you won...

Also head over for this month's great challenge and prize. This month it's Winter Vibes. We had some chilly days here in Florida and that's as cold as it gets but I know there is snow already up north, so winter is definately coming early this year.

So today I bring you Christmas Lantern Marci. She is my first official Christmas/Winter holiday card. And she is so sweet! I remember wearing a coat and hat similiar to hers when I was young and ruffles were a must on our dresses too. Gotta say though not the shoes they were usually some kind of black patten leather mary janes, LOL!!

This card really excited me because I think a finally achieved a wine color in copics! I have been looking for the right combination and YEAH I got it now! Here it is: RV69, R59, R85, R83

 

All Copics can be found at Oozak here. As well as Christmas Lantern Marci and A Very Merry Christmas paper by Echo park.
