Hi Beccy, M is for missing the fun and games, I've not been able to bring myself to follow along with this years Month of Holiday cards, still stuck in rehab and 10 days until my cast comes off (not that I'm counting) at least I packed my pencils and some digis to colour. Have a wonderful weekend... Megan

Gnomes are my favorite. But super idea. I never thought of coloring his outfit to fit the holidays. Could even do golds and browns for Thanksgiving & reds for Valentine.

Day 16 - "N"

No-line colouring is a fabulous technique that gives your finished image the appearance of being painted or coloured directly onto the surface. If you want to give it a go, I highly recommend choosing images without too much tiny detail that can easily get lost amongst the vibrant colours.

YOUR TURN: Create a project using the letter "N" as your prompt.

A cute snowman, and I love always your lay-outs on your cards. For inspiration to make something, one of the first things I do is to have a look on your blog ;)

Thanks Karin! I love spending time looking through other blogs too, it always gets those creative juices flowing.

Day 14 - "L"

When I was in primary school, bubble writing was all the rage and learning how to do it was essential for playground kudos. Four decades later and my hours of bubble-writing practice have paid off, allowing me to create my very own candy cane alphabet. Hooray for 80's pop-culture!

Day 13 - "K"

Kraft cardstock is a staple in my craft room. It looks fantastic with almost every other colour making it useful for most holidays and occasions... including Christmas! I particularly like how kraft contrasts with white, so snowmen and snowflakes seemed like the obvious choice for me today.
