"Open Me!!!" AND MY BLOG CANDY WINNERS!!!

Merry Christmas Eve!!!
I hope that you all are settling down for a wonderful holiday with loved ones :)
We are just about ready for the festivities to begin!!! I still have some cleaning to do and some gifts to wrap - but all is good and we cannot wait to spend some wonderful quality time around the tree :)

I am very late posting my card for the latest Friday Spy Day at 
The Greeting Farm Challenge Blog yesterday! oops!
and I also want to share who my two blog candy winners are :)

First, my card :)
I decided to have a bit of fun with my new TE December Key Ingredients Kit
and pair it up with sweet Amelia from my 'new to me' TGF Surprise Stamp Set!

I also used the following challenges for my card:
- iCopic Weekly Challenge #61: Last minute Holiday projects
- Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #38: Anything Goes {with Twine}
- Wee Memories Challenge #80: Anything Goes
- The Sisterhood of Crafters: Celebrate the Holidays

I love her unruly hair! Kinda reminds me of my own hair - thick, wavy, messy! lol!
I tried to stick with the same layout as Beate's card, and a similar color combo - with different shades... and as you can see - I went a bit overboard with my Paper Pen again, hee hee! I am loving this stuff! More and more pearls everywhere!!!
It's not your typical Christmas card (hubs kept telling me to add green, lol!) but I love it! and I know that this little girly-girl will definitely love it too :)

Thanks for looking! and I hope you decide to play along with us this week!
Please be sure to check out the rest of the DTs creations too :)

Meet one of the sassiest Devil Dolls... Angelika...

StampInsanity Challenge #30 is to
"Trick It or Treat It!"
(like "Naughty or Nice") Have fun with either 'trick-ing' or 'treat-ing' your projects with using any of your favorite techniques or a Halloween theme, etc...

I had SO much fun coloring this lil angel-gone-badass! That smirky smile just says it all ;) Obviously I had to go with the naughty side and use my fave techniques, which is to color with my Copics and then cut the image out by hand... love using my Nesties when I can too ;)

I pulled out some of my much loved and horded Making Memories DP called "Spook Alley" and used my Sakura "Clear Star" Pen to sparkle up her wings, horns and outline a bit... I also bit my tongue and used another one of my Prima skull flowers and dressed it up with some scraps of ribbon and lace ;)

I likey her very much ;) I hope you do too!

Oh, and these are the challenges that I am submitting my card to too :)
