It's Challenge time!

It's been a while since I've played along at MelJen's blog . But today, despite my awful head cold I've jumped in and created a card. I mean how could I not? They are celebrating  their 100th challenge -woot, woot! This week is a sketch challenge.
Here is my take

I used up some scraps, and coloured the image with pencil crayons. The sentiment is a rub on and the bones I found were clip art pics I copied several times to make a pile.

Thanks for looking, if you have time you should play along :)

The Outlawz CAS challenge

Monday's is CAS challenge day (clean and simple). This week the challenge was to make a card using 2 patterned papers. Here is my take using some left over scraps:

I layered white cardstock with the words 'true love' onto the white background. I then took a blank piece of paper an layered my scraps (cutting it into a heart shape) I distressed the edges and added ink around the edges as well as along the patterned paper edges. I then popped the heart up on dimensionals :)
Thanks for looking, have a great day!

It's Hambo Time!

It's time for another fabulous challenge at the Hambo Hoedown.
Not only did they just celebrate their one year anniversary as a challenge blog, but this month, they celebrate 10 years as a stamp company! So happy birthday and congrats on your milestone Hambo!

This weeks challenge was to play tic tac toe.We had to use 3 items. I chose; orange, blue, and buttons for a diagonal line.

The fish image is called "SOLEMATES" and the sentiment was included. It was a freebie from Hambo Stamps because I played along last week. I found my aqua painters (that I hadn't used in a long time) and painted both the fish, as well as, the sentiment. The fish are popped up giving it more dimension.

There are some fabulous surprises over at Hambo this month as they celebrate their 10th year, so hop on over and check it out!

Think Spring at Digi Darla's Challenge Blog!

Well this certainly is an appropriate challenge for me today as we enjoyed record high temperatures. It was so nice to enjoy the sun and watch the children play.

The challenge at Digi Darla's  this week is to make a card with the theme "think spring" . Here is my card inspired by my daughter who is growing up wayyyyyy to fast for me!

Thanks for visiting! Please leave me a comment and let me know your here :)

It's Hambo time!

This week's challenge at the Hambo Hoedown is a sketch. By playing along last week I received Hambo Stamps' latest digi called MONSTER WEIGHTS.  There are some fabulous sentiments that go along with it although I must confess I was thinking of a placing LMFAO's song lyrics on the card instead   (  "girl look at that body, girl look at that body, ugh, I work out!" )  teehee


Here is my card

I printed the monster on kraft and chalked his edges in white. I added the star brad (from SU) after I added white to it to calm the shine on it. The chocolate chip ribbon is from SU. Patterned papers from my scrap bin.

Dustin Pike challenge at Pike's Playground!

I am a big fan of Dustin Pike's work. I love his adorable characters and he has such a creative DT!
This week at Pike's Playground, Dustin had revealed some super HUGE news....if you play along, you get a free image! How cool is that?

My card uses a  knight digi that I  glittered. I  wrote the following sentiment on the card "Sometimes your knight in shining armor......"

and on the inside "...turns out to be an idiot in tin-foil!"
I have no idea where that saying came from but I love it! Awesome saying to give to a brokenhearted girlfriend!
Thanks for looking :)

It's Challenge Time!

This week at the Hambo Hoedown the challenge theme is anything goes!

As you know from my previous posts Hambo just celebrated it's one year anniversary as a challenge blog. They mentioned one of the ladies participated in EVERY challenge they had last year, so I had to go and see just how many I had participated in. Last year I only missed 3-4 challenges. That's it! Can you tell how much I love  Hambo stamps? teehee

Anywho, one of my monkeys has done something to my printer -agh!!! So I resorted to my stash of digis I had already printed. I chose to use the digi 'bailey cupcake' from Hambo Stamps. I used some left over ribbon, border stickers, and scrap paper. I included in the photo the goodie bag topper I made a few weeks ago with the same digi. I think this would make a cute little party package for someone, don't you?

Thanks for looking, have a fabulous day!
