Get Punchy with the Hambo Hoedown!

It's Hambo Hoedown Time, woot woot! This week the challenge is to use your punches. Using the image 'Sunglasses' by Hambo Stamps I created this card

I used the tag punch, corner punch, and scallop edge punch. I added a few gems,  faux stitched in some areas, and popped up the sunglasses. I am sooo not a purple and yellow kinda gal but I tried using up some scraps I had. What do you think? Yeah or nah?

Thanks for stopping by :)

It's challlenge time!

Head on over to the Clear it Out Challenge blog for a Christmas in July themed challenge!

My image choice was this beautiful digi from Digi Darla Designs called  'manger scene'.

I was a little intimated to colour this digi as it is soooo detailed, but I went slow and think it ended up great!

It maybe hard to see but the star and baby Jesus have some sparkle on them. I've really enjoyed have Digi darla sponsor our challenge blog and hope you'll play along to win some fabulous digis from them!

July Guest DT at Digi Darlas

Another week has come and gone and a new challenge begins at Digi Darla's challenge blog! Not only are they having me back as a Gt this week but they are also sponsoring us again at the Clear it Out Challenge, awesome!

This week's challenge is 'Animal Crackers'. I had a little fun with my digi "Digi Darla's Chick 2".
Hope this brings a smile to your face ;)

I had some left over yellow bits of ribbon so I folder them over and made a sun.
Thanks for looking, I hope you have a fantastic day :)

You're high on my list of blessings!

What a fabulous saying! Just one of the great sayings that accompany the digi Stilts by Hambo Stamps. If you missed your chance to get it for free (simply by playing along) you can purchase it in their store.

For the challenge this week at the Hambo Hoedown Challenge Blog  we are to make 'tall' cards.
I almost never make tall cards so I had to look up the dimensions of one.
Here is my card:

I cut up the sentiment and made it float amongst the clouds. Adding a heart to the last cloud. I added glitter to the clouds and heart.

Thanks a bunch for stopping by. Don't forget to also stop by the Clear It Out Challenge blog as there is a freebie AND DT calling going on til Monday night!

Happy Crafting :)

Hambo Hoedown Pocket Challenge

It's challenge time again at Hambo Hoedown! This week make a pocket somewhere on your project.
Here is my card using the Hambo Digi called  'computer'. I made my pocket by slicing a line at the edge of the computer. The backing paper holds it in place.

TIP: Don't throw out those have used, messed up rub ons!
So one of the things I am trying do so this year is use up my stash. I came across some rub ons that were missing letters, images etc. Here I took two separate (messed up) sayings (100% guaranteed & so proud of you) and merged them together. Voila, instant sentiment from rub ons destine for the garbage :)

Thanks for stopping by!
