AJ the Lion

Hello!

I've got a card to share and it coincides with the current Yumi and Fumi Handmade challenge.  Click HERE and you will be directly linked to the challenge and all the details.  Hope you can come and play.  The challenge ends on Friday, March 15th at noon, pst.   The prize is amazing and I'll share it later in my post.

For today I have a CAS card featuring AJ the Lion from the Kigurumi series.

I need more boy cards with a birthday theme and he definitely qualifies.  Instead of using the sketch the way it was intended I decided to turn it on it's side.  All the elements are still there and that's how I interpreted the sketch this time.  The colors are nice and fresh in my opinion.  The patterned paper is from MME, and the rest is from Neenah and Recollections.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches.  I had fun adding googly eyes to the lion suit, and lastly I added that paper star.  How about a reminder on what the prize up for grabs is:

I have to say this prize package is jam-packed with lots of fun goodies including Fumi with Bear Backpack.

Hope to see more of you playing in this fun sketch challenge.  Until next time, thanks for stopping in!!  Have a terrific day!!

Hugs,
Leanne

Y&FH December Challenge

Hey everyone!!

Happy December!!  I am going to be doing a lot of mad crafting every chance I get!  Need to mail out by next week, but first things first, need to finish!  Are you already done with your Christmas list or do you still have a lot to do?

Today starts the December month long challenge at Yumi & Fumi Handmade.  The DT is taking this month off, but had sometime to create some gorgeous samples for today.  We've got two different themes for this challenge that you can play in all month long, with an AWEmazing prize.  Head on over to the Y&FH blog to see the DT samples, find out about the challenge details and then make sure to link up your project. 

As I mentioned, Challenge #8 has two themes, you can choose one or the other or combine both on to one project.  A sketch created by our very own Kim Yu and a color challenge of white, red and camel, check out the inspiration photo if you're stuck.  First up is Kim's sketch:

Next up is the color inspiration from The Perfect Palette of RED, CAMEL & WHITE:

I did a combination of both themes and came up with this card featuring Fumi with Umbrella.

I kept it without a sentiment so that I could add one on later, but I think this could be used for any occasion even Christmas.  Used a few Spellbinders, punches and an embossing folder.  The only patterned paper here is that little piece of vellum with the white swirls.  The lace ribbon was actually white and I used Copic E55 to turn it into a Camel color.

Now even though the team is going to be on a break we have a wonderful guest designer stepping in to help you get in to the holiday spirit.  Stop by the blog to see who it is.  Of course I'll be around to add some inspiration every once in a while.  Okie dokie, you have until Jan 5th to link up your creation for a chance to win the big prize.  You don't want to miss out!!

Mahalo for stopping by!!
Hugs,
Leanne
