Digi Darla Challenge Time!

This week the challenge at Digi Darla's is to use ribbon. I picked up this adorable image Archer girl a while back and just love it. I love how strong she presents herself, yet feminine :)

Here is my card.

I used a colour combo of soft yellows, deep red and browns. Not my fav but I think I made it work.
I added glitter to the arrows and popped up the panel with pop dots. She is coloured with copic markers.

Thanks for stopping by. The challenge runs until Dec 5th :)

Clear it Out Challenge

Thank you to all of my new followers for joining me this month. Head on over to the Clear it Out Challenge blog to see if you are a winner!

It's a brand new year and I am so excited that my self imposed rule 'use what you have', is coming to a close-yahoo! I have a few gift cards in my pocket that I need to spend-lol. Having said that I can almost see the bottom of my first scrap bucket (yes, I said first).

Anywho, at the Clear it Out Challenge we are to use something textured on our cards. The sponsor is the totally awesome Bugaboo Stamps. The stamp I chose was a freebie Lil kitty on a limb it is free til Thursday so grab it while you can!

I originally chose to make a felt paw print but it didn't seem to work right with the card-on the outside. I plan to put it on the inside corner. So for texture I added layers, popped up the kitty, added buttons, and added grossgrain ribbon. I used copics to colour my kitty, butmay go back and blend it more after seeing it on here ;)
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget you have one week to email me if your a winner to claim your prizes!
 

Hambo hoedown time!

It's the last challenge of the year at the Hambo Hoedown and it's anything goes.
using the brand new digi called Bailey Christmas, I created this card

I used up some Christmas paper scraps, and chalked the edges of my card. I coloured Bailey with my copics and added glitter. I also added some gems to the corner.

Thanks so much for visiting me this year. I do hope you've become a follower. I have tried to follow you back and leave comments throughout the year. It's been a pleasure getting to "know" you all

Catch the bug take 2

Two posts in one day ,oh my! It's my second take on the Bugaboo challenge here at Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.
On the tic tac board this round I chose to use Distress, red and green, and a Bugaboo image.
This is also my oops card....

The squares were meant to be the same size ...BUT it didn't happen that way! So, because I can't throw it out, (blame it on the Scottish frugal-ness in me) I decided to see how I could make it work. I actually like this one better.
The candy cane bear is glittered and all the edges of the patterned paper are distressed using SU ink.
The sentiment is a rub on from Making Memories (I'm certainly getting good mileage with that pack!!)

Merry Christmas everyone :)

Catch the bug challenge time

Head on over to the Bugaboo's Catch the Bug challenge blog for a game of tic tac toe!

I had a last few cards to make and I used this challenge as my inspiration. The three elements I chose to use were  Border, Flower, Pearls

I glittered her wings and the flower poinsettia to add some sparkle. The sentiment is a rub on from Making Memories. Stay tuned to my next post on what to do when you screw up big time and cut one of the squares the wrong size....lol

Have a fantastic day!
