Dec 19th Challenge #124 Circle card

 A Day For Daisies

Prize is a $16 GC to the store

YEA!!  I remembered to post my card on time this week!!  he he...

Can you tell by my card what the challenge is this week?  If you guessed circle cards, the you right!!  Now these have to be one of my worst cards to make.  I just can't seem to get them to look right.  My digi that I picked is called "My Prince".  I cut out the green paper with the scallop circle die and the rest of the card I used different sized of the flower dies.  The bow is from Martha Stewart, brads, flowers, and gold studs are from my stash and the rub on is from My Sentiments Exactly.

CDAC progressive Challenge #6

Here's my card for the week 6 of the CDAC Progressive Challenge.  This digi is from Ginger Loft.  To add another twist to the challenge was to use 3D snow on your card.  When I sprayed the sealer on it, it changed the color a little bit.  I used "Crystal" glitter to mine that I've had forever!!  I don't even remember the last time I used glitter.  Makes too much of a mess..the rest I colored with my Copics and for the sky, I sponge painted it with distress ink in "Weathered Wood".  The ribbon is fron my stash, rhinestones-Creative Charms, stamp-ANM, which I embossed with clear embossing powder, but you can't see it, and paper-Heather Jolly's "Renee" kit.  (And yes, it was named after me..hehe).

Give Thanks

This week we want you to give thanks.  I made a Z Card for this weeks challenge.  I picked the "Chubby-4" digi for this week.  I've been trying new styles of cards.  I did have a tough time with this one, though.  I used up 3 sheets of printed patterned paper trying to get the cuts right.  Then I got stuck on how to decorate it.  The paper is from Heather Jolly's Yvette set, along with the frame on the front and the Frayed Fabric in the middle part.  I used Gimp to change the colors on it, though.  The rest of it is from my stash.

Kelley's Kids Oct 5th Challenge #10 Black & White

Welcome to this weeks challenge.  We would like you to use black and white.  I used the "Ghostie" digi on a spinner card.  You have to look close to tell it's a spinner card.  I couldn't get a good picture.  You can find all the directions on Splitcoast Stampers.  How cute is he or she??  I embossed the ghost by hand, making little dots on it,  using some old metal embossing tags.  (It's been so long, that I can't remember what they are exactly called-sorry).  The papers are from Heather Jolly's new Halloween set.  They are not on the blog as of when I am writing this, but they might be by time this is posted.  You have to check them out.  She also did some colored ones, too.  The ribbons are from Maya Road.

             

                                  

The winner(s) will receive:

1st place 3 images of choice

                                                           2nd place 2 images of choice

Progressive Challenge #4

I fill in the rest tomorrow.  I just want to post it to CDAC, so I don't forget...

OK-I'm back to finish posting my card.  I did too much typing yesterday and the arthritis in my hands just got too bad to finish posting my card last night..

.Now on to my card--I made a Tri-Shutter card using papers and the tag from Heather Jolly's "Saturday Night" papers.  Originally, they are darker than this, so I had to lighten them up to print them.  The digi is from Delicious Doodles on CDAC's Progressive Challenge.  I wasn't sure if I was going to make this into another Halloween card or for something else..obviously, I went Halloween.  I used stickles, flowers, ribbon, Liquid Pearls, buttons from my stash and pearls from Prima to decorate my card.  The tag I printed the words on and highlighted them with stickles, then cut it in half...

I found this new challenge..(well, actually, Jennifer told me about it-she's on the DT)..It's called The Culture Shock.  It's all about pop culture.  It's a little confusing, but worth a try, so I'm entering my card into it...

This week we want you to go fancy!!  Fancy Folds, that is!!  I made a swing card this time.  You can get all the instructions for my card on Splitcoast Stampers.  I just started making this type of card and really like it.  I think it's only the second one I've ever made, so not too bad.  Our wonderful sponsor this week is Karen's Doodles and I chose the "Fall Wheel" digi, cutting it out with the "Small Labels" die.  Trying to get that cool fall air down here in the TX heat.  It's still in the 90's down here, so I'll try anything!!  ha ha...

 The papers are from the stash (yes!! again)...The words came from "Flair", pearls are Prima, brads are Creative Charms, and the metal flowers and butterfly are stash.

Tammylee wanted us to show off some of Bonna's new digi's.  I was given the one called "Romanica".  You can find this one and many others at the new Kelley's Kids Store.  I wanted to make something new, so I tried my hand at making a Tri-Shutter Card.  You can find the directions at Splitcoast Stampers.  The papers, swirls and birthday tag are from my friend, Elaine.  The ribbons is from my scraps, the brads are from old kits (don't know which ones), the flowers are from Darice "Delphinium Petals" and the pearls are from Kaiser Crafts.  I added At You's "Spica" pens to her socks and the black lines in her wings. 

 Here's some close ups....

Kelley's Kids  at Webstore
Look for us there!

This week is all about your loved ones. We would like you to make a card for that someone special in your life (or you can just pretend)..ha ha.  I made a criss-cross card.  You can find all the directions at Splitcoast Stampers.  My digi for this week is called "Silhouette Heart #1". There is a set of 5 of them, and you can find them on Stitchy Bear here.   The lace and ribbon for the front part is from my stash.  Seems like I've been using my stash alot lately and it never gets any less.

For the inside of the card I used the "Lattice Rectangle" dies that I had already embossed with Cuttlebug's "Moroccan Screen" folder and added stickles to the edges to attach it to.  The silver swirls are from my daughter as part of my Christmas present last year.

The saying on the back of the inside part I got from Love Poems and Quotes.  I use this site alot when I need something good to say for my cards.

The winner(s) will receive:

1st place 3 images of choice

2nd place 2 images of choice

3rd place one image of choice 

If you use one of Kelley Kid’s images you will get one extra image of your choice.  So play with us with Kelley Kid’s.

Sugar & Sweets

Prize-$10 gift card to the store

Hope everyone had fun on last weeks blog hop and got some great ideas from the DT.  A BIG congrats to those who won a prize!!  For those of you who didn't, there's always another chance in our weekly challenges.

This weeks challenge is all about sugar and sweets.  I have to admit that at first I was a bit confused about this.   (noise) wrong answer-guess again!!  It's about food that's sweet to the taste.

We got a choice of digi's from Digi Doodle Shop.  I picked this guy called "Special Delivery".  I've gotten pretty good at making the Spring fold card, so that's what I decided to make for this one.  After coloring him, I cut him out and stuck him on my new die, "crowned ovals".  I off set him, as I'm not much of a symmetrical person, added 3 color rhinestones and some rubon's.  The paper's are from MME's "Love Me Do".  I added stickles to the top of the cupcake, but you can't tell in the picture.

Recipe:  digi- Digi Doodle Shop "Special Delivery", paper-MME's "Love Me Do", rubon's-Crate Paper and MME, dies-"Crowned Oval", misc-3mm rhinestones, stickles,
