Anything goes at The Outlawz.

Hello all!
       Last day of the month and that means it's time for our Anything Goes challenge over at The Outlawz and don't forget that this year, we've added an optional Christmas twist to give you a chance to stock up on your holiday cards.  It does seem a bit strange to be posting a Christmas card when we're facing a day with 90+ degrees temperature today but there we go!
      For my card I used a Make It Crafty christmas elf called "Socks" and coloured him with my Copics in a non-traditional colour scheme for a change.  I used my Cameo to cut a falling snow background and the fir tree shape, which I then embossed to add some interest and keep it from looking too white.  I finished off with a white, scored star and a small touch of bling.


I would like to enter this little guy into the challenges at Paper PrettiesCopic Marker EuropeCrimbo CrackersAddicted to StampsInkspirational and Simon Says Stamp.


Thanks for popping in and please go and check out the challenge over at The Outlawz - we always have fantastic inspiration for you to look at and great prizes available throughout the site!

Oh my goodness, this is so adorable. The image is so funny. I love the beautiful Christmas tree & star. The embossing looks like snow, and I am sure that was what you were trying to achieve. Awesome!

I still have not colored up those crazy elves I got from MIC. I thought they were so much fun, but my Christmas card making last season was dismal. I like the bright colors and the cool way you created the tree. Hugs!

Eek! That elf is so cute and so beautifully colored.

I love that he's the only color on your white card.
