Challenge #25 For Aud Sentiments!

Welcome to our latest challenge Aud Sentiments and  our wonderful sponsors this week being the Digi Doodle Shop!

They have the cutest images. You should definitely go check them out. They are giving the winner $10 Gift Certificate to the store.

For this challenge we want to see A Sentiment/Card For A Child.

Below is my  card using some Anna Griffin Paper I got at Michaels  several years ago I thought it helped to make a great vintage Baby card just a little different than the normal pastels  you see all the time and I just thought the image needed something just a little different.  I used my little flowers, oh I hope I don’t run out anytime soon because I love them so much

It’s Oldie but Goodie time over at Bugaboo!

You can find this and all your Bugaboo images here but please stop by and  take a peek at what our DT did here ! Visit their blogs and leave some love...they just may have some more great projects to share!!

Our DT decided to swap out ATC cards.  Below is the ATC I made using Clyde the Dragon.   The cards we got back were amazing to say the least and it was a great swap!   

Paper used was from a book I got from Hobby Lobby some time ago, I used some of my little flowers and used Diamond Glaze to accent the lady bugs!

It’s Monochromatic Time at Bugaboo

Today we bring  you a Monochromatic challenge for Bugaboo.   I always get a mental block with this type of challenge but decided to go with white today.  I have to admit I really like the way that white on white looks.  I think it is a very classy  look.  

Here is my card using one of the great Butterfly tags and white card stock.  I added my 3 buttons, lace, pearls and ribbon to finish it off.   I ran some of the Card stock through the Cuttlebug for texture and added blue to the inner oval for just a touch of color to tie in with the image.

New Challenge for Critter Sketch!

Happy Monday!  Thanks for stopping by today!  Over at Critter Sketches  we begin a new challenge this week and it is an inspirational challenge and the inspiration is the picture below.  I wish I was on this beach  right now!

beach-photo

Below is my card using the colors that I thought helped to show my thoughts when I see this picture.    I used PTI brown craft which to me represents the sand and the the blues and greens and gray remind me of other colors you would see on the beach.  The great image is the freebie from Hambo Stamps for this weeks HoDown if you played along last week.  Their challenge this week was sparkle so I added some glitter to the had and nails some shiny silver ribbon and the paper also sparkles IRL.

Get Well Wishes!

Time for another Challenge over at Aud Sentiments !This time around we are lucky enough to have Sassy Studios as our sponsor again. They have such fun images to play with as you will see from the wonderful work of the DT.


Here is a little bit about Sassy Studios...
"Sassy Studio Designs is a fresh new company. We have been designing and selling for a year now, and we have been kindly received into the community of digi stampers and crafters. I started designing images shortly after I started stamping, reason being...I didn't hardly like anything else out there I was a young adult woman at the time I was engaged, had no kids, I wanted fun sexy images that I would enjoy using and my friends and hubby would enjoy receiving. I designed images for 2 other digi stamp companies when my wonderful hubby kept trying to get me to go out on my own. So in June 2009 thanks to the few faithful followers I had, Sassy Studio Designs was born! It has been a wonderful journey starting my own store. We have just grown so much these past months.I still try to keep Lindsay Dyer: keep with my original philosophy and reason for designing stamps, make them fun and keep them sassy...and yes sometimes even sexy! Lindsay"

They are giving the winner 4 digi images of your choice.

For this challenge we want to see Get Well cards. These are always good to have on hand so let's see your beautiful creations!  Be sure and check out the DT creations  you will not be disappointed!!

Here is my card  using Sassy Nurse and Diva Licious paper from a glitter pack and PTI card stock!   The sentiment is from Rain Echos a freebie!

Challenge Time!

It’s Challenge time over at Catch the Bug Challenge blog and this week an Anything Goes.  

There is a funny story about this card.  My hubby works with a girl who has 3 adorable children under the age of 6.   She and my husband are very close they act as though they were siblings.   Last fall she and her hubby went away for a well deserved quiet weekend.  After she came back to work my husband told her kiddingly you gonna get preggers of course she said no way!  Well it just so happens that she did and guess what it’s Twin boys!   Wow, talk about busy, but Brooke is an excellent mom and Josh is a wonderful dad so they will be just fine however my husband could not resist teasing Josh as he plans his much avoided trip to the doctors in the very near future.  My  hubby asked me if I could make him a card to give to Josh. 

Below is my card using American craft DP and Stampin Up card stock.   I added the pin and the bow to finish off my card.  I used Bently and added another to make the twins,  The original sentiment said May cause but I changed it to say Will because Brooke has ready said this will cause a vasectomy!
