DDSB Challenge #16 - Use Your Scraps!

** This is my SECOND post for today! Please SCROLL DOWN or CLICK HERE to view today's previous post! Thanks! **

Good morning again, everyone!

It's time for another DDSB Challenge! This time it's to USE YOUR SCRAPS!

We all have scraps lying around, right? Mine are tucked in a 2 containers - one for solids and one for patterns. I'm going to move them into a drawer, but haven't done it yet. I'm still in the process of reorganizing my bedroom AKA Crafty Sweatshop! *lol*

Anyway, I'm a huge fan of using my scraps so this one was a super easy challenge for me:

I used some old scraps of My Mind's Eye paper - I think I used it on a scrapbook layout a while back.... and the rest is from the Taylored Expressions Valentine's Key Ingredients kit. I used the adorable Basket full of Love image from Digi Doodle Shop. I'm getting into distressing so I used some Vintage Photo Distress Ink all around my scraps of paper. :)

Hope you all like it! Thanks so much for visiting today! Please take the time to stop by the rest of the DDSB DT to see what they've created!

DDSB Challenge: TEXTURE!

** This is my SECOND post for today! Please SCROLL DOWN or CLICK HERE to view today's previous post. Thanks!

Hi everyone and welcome to another DDSB Challenge!

This week's challenge is all about adding texture to your project. Well, I have to be honest, it's been a busy week because of the holiday weekend so I wasn't able to think too much outside of the box! Here's my card:

I used the beautiful Violets set from Digi Doodle Shop. I colored the image with my Copics and used my Basic Gray Kioshi DP and some SU! cardstock scraps. For my texture I ran a piece of green cardstock through my Cuttlebug with my Flourishes embossing folder. Super simple card and I left the sentiment off so that this will be one of my "just-in-case" cards.

Anyway, thanks so much for visiting today! Be sure to see what the rest of the DT has in store for you - and please welcome Jona, our newest DDSB DT member! :)

DDSB Challenge: Let's get dottie!

** This is my SECOND post for today! Please SCROLL DOWN or CLICK HERE to view today's previous post! Thanks! **

Good morning again, everyone!

We have another challenge for you over at Digi Doodle Shop's Best! The challenge this week is "Let's Get Dottie!" Use dots or circles on your card or project! Sounds fabulous, right?

Here's my card for today!

For my card I used the adorable hot air balloon image from the Summer Fun Doodles I set and printed it into 2 sizes - 3 inches and 2 1/4. I then colored both with my Copics and cut them both out. I used my Swiss Dot Cuttlebug Embossing folder to create my spotted "sky" and used my PTI clouds die and sentiment stamp to complete my card. I also used a couple of American Crafts brads as an accent.

I really love how my card turned out - hope you did too!

And it's also a brand new month at Digi Doodle Shop! That means another deal!

What a great deal! Be sure to check out Digi Doodle Shop - with 50% off, you can't go wrong!!!

DDSB Challenge: Anything Goes!

** This is my SECOND post for today! Please SCROLL DOWN or CLICK HERE to view today's previous post! Thanks**

Good Morning, everyone!

It's our favorite time of the month at DDSB - the challenge day where ANYTHING GOES! That's right, on the last Thursday of the month, our challenge to you is to create anything. That's right. ANYTHING GOES! Easy peasy right? Make sure you upload your project to the DDSB challenge link and you might just win a sweet little prize! Good luck!

Here's my creation today:

I used the super adorable drink image from the Summer Fun Doodles Set #1. Isn't it so CUTE?! Right now, if you purchase over $5 at the Digi Doodle Shop Store, you get both sets of Summer Fun Doodles FREE! Hurry - this deal is only until the end of the month!

The rest of this card is made with my June Key Ingredients kit (if you've followed my blog all week, you probably have seen how much I have STRETCHED this kit out this month! *lol*). The sentiment is from my Beach Sentiments Set by AmyR Stamps. I showed it off in one of my latest ATS Haul videos recently. :)

Anyway, thanks so much for visiting today! Hope you are having a fabulous day! :)

DDSB Challenge: A SKETCH!

** This is my SECOND blog post for today. Please SCROLL DOWN or CLICK HERE to view today's previous post! Thanks! **

Hello again, everyone!

This week's Digi Doodle Shop's Best Challenge is a SKETCH challenge by the fabulous Kym! :)

Nice and simple, right? Here's my take on it!

This week's challenge is sponsored by Pear Tree Designs. And this image is one of their cute digi stamps, Flowers Galore. I used Basic Grey Kioshi for my card and paper pieced all of the flowers with the same paper. I think it came out fabulous! And I was able to use some Webster's ribbon I featured in my haul video the other week. Yippee for using the stash!

(I'm going to have to apologize for the poor lighting on my card - I had to do it at night while the kids were asleep!)

Be sure to visit Pear Tree Designs for more images! There's a special prize for one lucky winner - a new Pear Tree Designs stamp (not yet released) and a stamp of your choice! Good luck!

And don't forget to check out Digi Doodle Shop's Best DT to see what everyone has created! :)

DDSB Challenge: TIE IT UP!

** This is my SECOND post for today! Please SCROLL DOWN or CLICK HERE to view today's previous post! Thanks! **

Hi everyone!

This week's challenge at Digi Doodle Shop's Best is TIE IT UP! Use string, twine, hemp, etc. to your card! Easy peasy!

For this week's DDSB card, I decided to use the sign from the Summer Fun Doodles Set 1 and the palm tree from the second set. Right now there's a special this month - purchase $5 at Digi Doodle Shop and get both sets FREE! Awesome, right?

I printed both images, colored them with my Copics and cut them out really carefully with my fine tip scissors. I then stamped cloud background from Hero Arts and used dimensionals to place the sign and palm tree. Super easy and cute (at least I think so! *lol*) I really love using linen thread on my projects to I was super happy to use it for this challenge, too!

DDSB Challenge: BUTTONS!

**This is my SECOND post for today! Please SCROLL DOWN or CLICK HERE to view today's previous post! Thanks **

This week's challenge at Digi Doodle Shop's Best is to use BUTTONS on your card. Doesn't matter how many, just make sure you use a button! :)

Here's what I have to share today:

I thought I'd make a card for my dad for Father's Day. I'm actually on the ball this year - usually I'm scrambling to create something! But I saw this most adorable image Judy created and I knew I had to use it - isn't it perfect for Father's Day? It's called Relaxing Dad - how appropriate! I love how the guy is just kickin' back and taking a long nap in the sunshine - reminds me of my hubby, actually. That man loves to SLEEP! *lol*

I colored the image with my Copics. The DP is from TGF's Dirty Rodeo paper pack. The sentiment is from PTI. The buttons are from DeNami.

Hope you all are having a beautiful Thursday! Thanks for visiting today! Be sure to check out what the rest of the DT has in store for you! :)

Digi Doodle Shop's Best Challenge Blog

 

Here's the card I created for the challenge!

I used this adorable Body Tot Uncle Charlie image - I couldn't wait to print him out and put him on a card! I don't know a thing about country music or living out in the country, but this image is TOO CUTE to resist!

I intended to make it a Father's Day card, but instead I just made a general masculine card - we all struggle with those don't we? The sentiment is from the Anya Says set and the DP is from the Dirty Rodeo set - both from The Greeting Farm.
I attempted making another scenic card (I'm kinda hooked on these now!) and cut the "moon" with my Coluzzle, and tore inked up the striped DP for the "ground".

 This week at The Digi Doodle Shop's Best Challenge blog we are having an “ANYTHING GOES” challenge!  The winner will get a $10.00 gift certificate to the shop and with 250 stamps I am certain will have no problem finding wonderful images of their liking.  The first, second and third place winners will also get badges to proudly display on their blog and will be entered into a drawing for a Guest DT spot with our great DT just like Sarah and Doreen!

In addition, Three (3) stamps will be given away from three (3) mystery DT blogs.  For further information see the original blog hop post.

 Now onto KATJA'S BLOG to see what she has in store for you. I am certain it will be spectacular!!! Don't forget to pop on over to the challenge blog at the end of our hop and attach your ANYTHING GOES card!!!  Easy Peasy!!!!!

Thanks for visiting today! Have a beautiful Thursday!

DDSB Challenge: Sparkle and Shimmer!

** This is my SECOND post for today! Please SCROLL DOWN or CLICK HERE to view today's previous post! Thanks!**

Hello again, everyone!

I have another card for you! It's another DDSB challenge day today - We want to see your cards SPARKLE and SHIMMER!

Here's what I came up with!

Can you see it? I'm kinda bummed - the picture doesn't do this card justice! For the "sunny" background I used my new Smooch Spritz in Gold Glow. I had a lot of fun playing with a new toy! My mind is spinning with a ton of ideas! Anyway, I used the Smooch to make the sky all golden and shimmery like a sunset. And I wanted these little blowfish to look like they're having fun in playing in the water!

These cute little blowfish are from the super cute Sea Life Set from Digi Doodle Shop.
I wanted to color each of them different - to make it look like they're friends. :) The sentiment is from Verve - my hubby was kind enough to get me a ton of stamps from my wishlist and this was one of them. :)

Thank you all for stopping by today! Be sure to check out the rest of the Digi Doodle Shop's Best DT to check out what everyone has created! Have a fabulous day! :)

DDSB Challenge: Ribbon!

** This is my SECOND post for today! Please SCROLL DOWN or click HERE to view today's previous post! Thank You! :) ** 

Good morning again, friends!

I've got an adorable card to share with you today! Take a look:

It's Thursday so that means it's another Challenge day brought to you by Digi Doodle Shop's Best! The challenge this week? RIBBON!

I find it hard sometimes to get creative with ribbon so I usually use it as an accent piece to my cards and layouts. The images are usually the STAR of my projects! This week I used the adorable Garden Worm from Digi Doodle Shop! Isn't he the cutest?!

I used some old Chatterbox DP, some scraps of cardstock I had laying around, and the sentiment is a rub-on from SU! Fun right?

AND, you will proud to know that I was able to create this card for not only DDSB, but also for this week's Card Patterns Sketch 63! Yay!

Hope you all have a wonderful day! Thanks for visiting today! Don't forget to stop by the rest of the Digi Doodle Shop's Best DT to see what the girls have in store for you! :)
