Challenge #126

Anything Goes

 Prize Any 3 digi's @ store

Hope everyone survived the holiday season!!  I know I barely did!!  First off, we have what they call "Cedar Fever" down here in Texas!!  And if you have allergies (which I do), it's complete missery!!  An they say it's suppose to last past the middle of Feb!!  Oh yea...

Then we were suppose to be sponsored by Jen's Digi Stamps, then they went caput...of course, after most of us had made our cards!!  Luckily, we have our very own talented designer on our DT!!  Yea Nikki!!  So our new sponsor is Limited Runs Stamps.  You also have to make sure you check out her monthly challenge blog here.  Oh yea, she also has freebies and a candy for every follower!!  So go check it out...


Back to my card...the purple & yellow bg papers are scraps and the purple ribbon paper was left over from a kit that I had bought to make a book for my daughter when I first started doing scrap booking.  The ribbon only went down two of the sides, so I cut out a piece from another side and added it to the bottom.  There were hats also in the corners, so I cut one of them out and added the flower, instead.  Originally, the bunny had a bow on top of her head so I cut it off and replaced it with the hat.  I thought it was just too cute!!  The purple flowers are from my scraps and the yellow's are metal with rhinestone flowers in the middle.

Use a Tree

Our very own Nikki, owner and designer of Limited Runs Stamps, came up with the great digi's that we got to play with this week.  For the challenge, we want to see trees in your project.  I used two digi's for my card this time.  The first one is the back ground called "Piney Forrest" and the second on is the litttle girl called "Anne with a Candy Cane".  I colored both digi's with Copics and used stickles to break up the snow lines and to bring out the stars.

We are also having a DT call.  Deadline for this is Dec. 4th, so don't forget to check it out here.

Challenge #110

Make your own flowers

This week we are sponsored by our very own Nikki.  Owner and artist of Limited Runs Stamps.  I used the "Hello-colored" digi.  I punched it out with the lattice rectangle die and wove some fibers through the spaces.  The papers are from guess who??  Heather Jolly, of course.  The colors just go so well with the colors of the digi. 

For my flowers, I cut out 2 small circles (one slightly smaller than the other).  I sprayed them with a little bit of water, so that I could manipulate them, and smooshed them so that they would fit into each other.  I glued them here and there so that they would stay together.  When I thought they they were good, I added stickles to the edges of both sizes, sprayed them with glimmer mist and glued a bead in the center.  Not bad for a first for me. 

The lucky winner gets your choice of any three digi's. 

Don't forgot to stop by Nikki's store and check out all her great stuff.  She's got a great

Challenge #98
Father's Day/Masculine

We want to see you show some love for all those wonderful dads out there for this weeks challenge.  Our choice was to use either one of Nikki's digi's or one from the store.  I couldn't decide, so I went with both.  Chelsea is from the Inspire To Thrive store and the mushrooms are Nikki's.  I used Tim Holtz's crackle paint in Rock Candy on the mushroom.  It's pretty basic.

here's what the inside of the card says....I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
