Penny's Paper Crafty - Challenge #96

This week's challenge at Penny's Paper-Crafty is create a project with die cuts and/or punches. We have two wonderful sponsors for this challenge. That's right, one lucky random person will win 3 digi images from Scrappers Delight and one lucky random person will win $15 gift certificate from Fred She Said. For my card I used a digi image called Emma in Leaves from Fred She Said which I colored with my Copics. I used my Art Philosophy cart and cut some leaves. I sponged them with Cocoa ink and popped them up with pop dots for dimension. All papers are CTMH. Now head on over and get some inspiration from my fellow design team members. Happy Crafting!!

Kaboodle Doodles - Week 103 Challenge

The challenge this week at Kaboodle Doodles is create a project that is thank you. Our sponsor for this week's challenge is A Day for Daisies and the winner will receive a $12 voucher.

I decided to join the challenge over at Sentimental Sundays so I used my Cricut and Art Philosphy cart to make the frame for my image. I used Potted Tuplips which I colored with my Copics. I stamped a sentiment and added some Licorice Opaque Adhesive Gems to the pot. I distressed all papers using white reinker and a glue brush. I ran the edge of my frame thru my Cuddlebug and the Swiss Dots folder. I added a ribbon and paper butterfly to finish it off. All papers and bellies are CTMH. Now head on over and get some inspiration from my fellow DT members.

Jens Digi Stamps - Anything But A Card (Christmas)

The challenge this week at Jens Digi Stamps is Christmas - Anything But A Card. We would love for you to create anything other than a card with a Christmas theme. I used Jen's Sugar n Snap Merry Christmas again since I could use red and green and made it into a tag. I colored this adorable image with my Copics, gave the fur on his hat a little bam with my souffle gel pen and added some Stickles to the snow. I cut out the tag and frame using my Art Philosophy cartridge (page 70). I used rub ons for the "TO and FROM." All supplies are Close To My Heart. The winner of this week's challenge will receive their choice of 3 digis from Jen's store!! Plus, remember our challenges will be weekly now!! So head on over for some DT inspiration and to play along.

Creative Freebie Challenge at The Outlawz

If you haven't checked out The Outlawz, you really need to head on over and do it (after you leave me some love - LOL!). This is an awesome site and they give great prizes and have tons of challenges. I was lucky enough to be there at the right time and got hooked up with this really great challenge. Sandi Huggett and Anne Fenten have started a Creative Freebie Challenge and they gave us four of the digis they drew and all we had to do was use one of them in a project and post before the end of two weeks. Then they sent two more images with the same rules. So here's the card I created using one of their fabulous images. I can hardly wait to get the next two! I colored the image with my Copics and added some white from my Souffle pen to the edge of Santa's hat. I added some sparkle to the bell with my Clear Star Gelly Roll pen. All products are CTMH and I used the sketch from MoJo Monday.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

The Stamping Boutique - Challenge #20

Wow - I have had a blast this weekend. I did a little cleaning in my craft area and then rewarded myself with some crafting time. I just can't seem to get enough "coloring" lately. The TSB Challenge this time is Thanksgiving and I created this card using the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches. I used Tracey's "AJ's a Pilgram" image which I colored with my Copics. I used some paper from my CTMH stash which I sponged with Cocoa. I also used some CTMH Kraft Ready Borders (you can find them on sale here) that I sponged as well, added a couple of buttons and called it good. So hop on over and join the fun. This is a two week challenge. Remember, if you use a TSB image you get entered 2 times for the drawing!!
