CDAC PROGRESSIVE CHALLENGE is on now!!!

CDAC is having it's first ever progressive challenge! You need to pop over there, become a member and play along. Why? Not only do you get free digi images but there are some cool prizes to win also.
Priscillastyles  gave this digi fan image to work with. Here is what I created with it:

I embossed the background with dots, glittered a bodice shape, and added white cardstock under the skirt to make the colours pop. For the skirt I used vellum. Coloured the backside for muted colours, the right side for bolder colours. I then folded (mountains and valleys) the vellum and flipped down the top part of the fan. Thanks for looking :)

Agh!

Well I have been MIA for a few weeks. With illness', kids off for the summer, etc it has been hectic. To top it all off my darling hubbie DELETED all my pictures-yep all of them *sniff sniff* Hence the title of my post AGH!!!!

Well I have been crafting, but to see my cards this round you will need to go to the challenge sites and check them out :)

The first is NettieG's Digital Gems Fancy Folds Challenge. We were to use our favourite NettieG image and create a fancy fold creation. I love the Mary and Baby Jesus digi and used it in a tri-fold card. You can check it out and enter yourself here.

I recently joined another design team which is right up my alley. It's called Clear it out Tuesday Challenge. This week the challenge is a beach theme and you can win a fabulous prize. But...my favourite part is you use up your stash. Ya know, we all have it. The special paper we are going to use for that special project, that hasn't happened yet. The ribbon that you had to buy and has sat in a drawer ever since etc.
So clear out those drawers and play along. My monkey card and the challenge details can be found here

Looking forward to seeing what you create and hope to have my pictures back soon to post what I have been creating :)
Have a great night,
Laura

Simple Sympathy card and surprise!

At CDAC they announced a winner for their Freebie Amateur Digi. Anne Fenton won with her gorgeous digi called Old Blue. I just loved the image and made a card. I wasn't sure what I was going to make, but as I started pulling pieces together to make a card I realized simplicity would be best for this image. It really does stand well on it's own. Anywho, here is my card:

This wasn't a contest entry so imagine my surprise when I saw this in my inbox:
