Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a good week and you've got some fun weekend plans.  It's been a very busy week for me and I'm hoping for a little downtime this weekend.  Before heading out for today's appointments, I am here to share my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  Since it's the last Friday of the month, the theme is "anything goes" with the option to add a Christmas twist.  The twist is completely optional.  Remember you can now use any coloring medium, but you must still have a colored image on your project.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Mossy Meadow and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Christmas 6x6 pad.  The beautiful image is Mistletoe Kiss from Delicious Doodles.  It is also available from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few pearls and a sparkly Christmas tree sticker finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Summer Daze

Good morning!  Happy Wednesday!  Hope you've had a good week so far!  I've been super busy and haven't had much time for crafting except for my DT work.  I hope to remedy that soon!  Anyway, today it's my turn to post some DT inspiration over on the Digi Bells blog. 

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are SU Buckaroo Blue and the patterned papers are from the Simple Stories Summer Fresh 6x6 pad.  The darling image is Summer Daze from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection.  I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added some Stickles to the hopping fish and the flowers in her hair.  I also added the sky and clouds with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few pearls and another fun little sun, created with tulle trim from Webster's Pages and a button, finished my card

Sketch Saturday #312 - 6th Anniversary Blog Hop

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  I am out of town for a couple of days, so my post is prescheduled.  I hope it goes off as planned.  Anyway, I am here with my DT post for this week's Sketch Saturday Challenge.  It's an exciting week at Sketch Saturday!  Today, Sketch Saturday is celebrating 6 years of sketch challenges!  Jo Edwards posted the very first sketch challenge back on May 31, 2008!  We have a new sponsor this week, too!  We are being sponsored by Little Miss Muffet Stamps, who are generously offering a $25 gift certificate to this week's challenge winner!

Check out the Little Miss Muffet Challenge blog and Facebook page, too!

To celebrate 6 years of sketches, we are having a BLOG HOP with Jo and the Little Miss Muffet Design Team!  How fun is that?  There are mystery prizes hidden along the way, so you will want to visit every stop and leave a comment to maximize your chances of winning! 

 

It is the 5th Saturday of the month so that means you can choose any sketch from #215-311.  See the past sketches in the Past Sketches tab on the Sketch Saturday blog.

 

Ok, so with all the info out of the way, you should have arrived at my blog from Barbara's fabulous blog.  If not, you should head back to the Sketch Saturday blog and start from the beginning so you don't miss anything.

 

I chose Sketch #275, designed by Debra, for my project:

 

 

Here is my card:

 

 

My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned papers are from the Echo Park A Perfect Summer 6x6 pad.  The adorable image is Polka Dot Pals Roxie from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I gave her a happy face using one of the Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces in the store.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I did a bit of doodling around the image panel and added a bit of Stickles to the flower center.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I created a fun little sun using a piece of netting trim from Webster's Pages and a button.  A few gems and a 3D sticker from my stash finished my card.

Twisted Tuesday Challenge #71 - Guest Designer

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Are you having a good week so far?  Hope so!  I've been busy already, but today I have something exciting to share with you!  After winning a challenge a few weeks back, I was invited to be a Guest Designer for today's new Twisted Tuesday Challenge.  Fun, right? You bet!  The theme is "live a clean, green life".  The challenge is to keep your project clean (no distressing or inked edges, etc.) and the twist is to use green.

Here is what I came up with:

My card base and mats are SU Certainly Celery and the patterned papers are from my scrap bag.  I think the top one is GCD Studios Happiness and the bottom one is from Kaisercraft.  The fun image is Uptown Girls Madison Has A Margarita from Stamping Bella.  I stamped it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added some Stickles to the trim on her dress and her hair ties and Glossy Accents to the glass.  I left off the sentiment until I decide on who will get this and for what occasion.  A simple punched border and ribbon and bow finished my clean, green card.

 

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to check out the new Twisted Tuesday Challenge!  I'm sure the team would love to have you play along!

I am entering my card in the following challenge:

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  It's going to be another busy one for me, but I'll be glad to get all my organizing done.  It feels so much better to work in a neat area!  The only problem is that I've put my things away in new spots and can't always remember where!  Anyway, I am here now with my DT post for this week's Sketch Saturday Challenge.  We are being sponsored by Bunny Zoe's Crafts, who are offering a GC to the store for the winner.

She is popped up on Pop-Dots. The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few gems from my stash finished my card.

Alcohol Markers Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  At last the weekend is upon us!  Hope you have fun plans on your end!  I've got a busy Saturday planned and then I have to go out of town for a couple of days on Sunday, so I'll be scrambling.  Before I head off to do a million errands, I am here to share my DT card for this week's Alcohol Markers Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is "Awareness" (breast cancer or any other; feature an awareness ribbon).  It's perfect since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, but it doesn't have to be about breast cancer. However, you must have coloring with alcohol markers (any brand).

Here is my awareness card:

My card base and mats are from my cardstock stash and the patterned papers are from the Basic Grey Bittersweet 6x6 pad.  I used Kenny K.'s Breast Cancer Fighter and colored her up with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Some polka dot ribbon, a few pearls and a metal pink ribbon charm finished my card.

Alcohol Markers Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  The weekend is nearly here!  Hope you've had a good week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  I am starting to feel better, so I know the weekend will be better than during the week.  Before getting on with my day, I am here to share my DT card for this week's Alcohol Markers Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme for this last week of the month is the ever-popular "anything goes" with the option to make it a Christmas creation.  Don't forget, you must have coloring with alcohol markers (any brand) on your project.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye All is Bright 6x6 pad.  The precious image is In The Manger from Mo's Digital Pencil.  You can find it in Mo's shop here.  I printed it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added some splashes of Shabby White Fran-Tage for some texture and sparkle.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I added fancy corners cut with my Cameo using a free cut file from SVG Cuts. I embellished them with fancy pearl accents.  Some pretty lace finished the outside of my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Although I don't usually, I decorated the inside of my card, too.  Here is the inside:

I used another design from the same patterned paper pad and a sentiment frame made with my Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles dies.  The sentiment on the inside is from JustRite Stampers Christmas Nested Sentiments. I don't think these old style stamps are available anymore.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Alcohol Markers Challenge and check out the lovely creations from the rest of the DT!  We hope you will be inspired to play along!  It is your last chance to get in on the prize offered by our September sponsor, Digistamps 4 Joy.  One randomly-chosen participant in this month's challenges will win 5 digis of their choice from the DS4J shop!
