Elves at Work

 It is midway inspiration time at 12 Months of Christmas.  The optional twist for the May Challenge is Elves.

I have used a digital paper by Décosse's Dynamite Doodles (May 2024 paper for 12 Months of Christmas).  The image/sentiment is by Scribbles Designs and has been die-cut using a stitched edge rectangle die.  Colouring is with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.  To continue the elf theme, I also added some elf patterned ribbon and an elf dimensional sticker (along with a gift and star from the same sheet)

2023 In Review

Before the end of each year, I try to review the projects that I have completed over the past 12 months and create a post highlighting my favourite for each month.  This year some months haven't had much to choose from given the issues with my eyesight for much of 2023.    I have worked on this progressively over a few days as I really wanted to put this post out.

I have shared the love around a bit with a challenge appearing in one month only.  Naturally, since November is mainly creating for Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards, I had to choose a Beccy's Place card for that month.

I have linked each card to the original post (when I could find them)

January - card created for QKR Challenge (now closed)

February - DT card created for Lil Patch of Crafty Friends

March - card created for Butterfly Challenge

April - card created for Sheepski Challenge

May - DT card created for Jan's Digis Challenge (now closed)

June - card created for Card Chain Challenge

July  - card created for NZ Swap Group

August - DT card created for Scribbles Designs (on break)

September - card created for one of the Gecko Galz Challenges

October - DT card created for 12 Months of Christmas

November - card created for Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards

December -  card created for Ching-Chou Kuik (closing)

This will be my last post for 2023 as it is approaching midnight.
Happy New Year to all my followers.
