Hi, and welcome to another challenge from The Love To Scrap Challenge Blog.  This time it is Anything Goes.  Our three sponsors are :

Julia Spiri Digital Stamps

Bugaboo Digi Stamps

I have two projects for you today.  The first one is using a Julia Spiri Digital Stamps image: April Elf

Isn't she a beauty?!  I think she is probably supposed to be a spring elf, but since this is autumn, I turned her into an autumn elf and I think it works perfectly!  I created my own background paper with mums, leaves, acorns, a script stamp and a small flower center stamp.  Then I inked up the edges and distressed them with my scissors.  Love how it turned out!  Here is a close up of the image:

I added some strands of clear wink of stella to her hair and onto the darker green trims on her dress.  You can see it a bit in the photo.
My second project uses an image from Bugaboo Stamps.  Their images are always so adorable!

I was able to use up some scraps on this one finally!  The striped paper is part of a paper pack that I have been trying to use up for quite a while.  It's been sitting on my desk for at least a year now and there are only a few small pieces left.  Unfortunately, there are still a few scraps of it left.  I even added a few more snowflakes on the inside but couldn't quite use it all up.
