A Fabulous Fun Friday.....

     This is my second post today! I have so much fun and fabulous news to share and I thought it would be easier to add a second post, rather than one very long post!  :) 

     I am here now to share another card I created today for a few of my most recent cards, mostly created for challenges!  And speaking of challenges, I would to see my friends join me in the brand new challenge that started today over at Baby Bud Designs, and if you hurry, you can still pick up Fairy Orlagh, who is our wonderful  Friday Freebie. image for Setpember

    On top of that fun challenge, I also want to take  minute to remind you all that the second challenge over at 'A Day for Daisies' will end on September 30th and I hope you'll join in.  You still have plenty of time to post a project.  Our theme is 'Let's Celebrate' and you can find our the Challenge here.

    Here is a new card I just finished up with a few challenges in mind and this created with created with a Digi Image from Lori Boyd and this is Ethan one of her sweet Lollipop image.  If you would like to add this cutie to your collection, you will find him here, in Lori's new store!

 
     Boy's Rule is the card that I created with Ethan today and he is being submitted to the following challenges:

• Simply Scrapping Crafts - Color Combo with a Twist (Boys)
• Stamp Something Challenge - Fall Colors
• Digi Doodle Shop's Best - Challenge 26 - Emboss it!
• StampInsantity Stamp Company - #28 - Show 'em Who EmBoss!

    I have two more fun cards to share and both of these cards were created for challenges.  The first was for this week's Stamp n' Scrap Challenge over at SSC.  Our challenge was to use some stitching on our cards...Ha Ha..!!  If you know me, you know that I can not sew and as much as I LOVE the look of stitching on cards, its' sew not me!   But, I found I had the perfect image from Bugaboo Stamps, and did NOT want to give up, SEW (pun intended) I am very happy to say I managed go create a few stitches and finish this card.

     My second card was created for a variety of challenges, and was based on a color combo challenge over at the Crafter's Digital Arts Center.    The adorable pocket digi image donated to the challenge by KLM Designs, who is also the challenge host.  If you would like to join in, you'll find the challenge here, at CDAC, along with three different 'freebie' pocket images you may choose from for you creation.  The colors for the challenge are Lavender, Pink, White and Cocoa and this is my card.   I created my flowers by hand with a Tim Holtz's Flower die and also with one of the new Doohickey dies from Magnolia, which are very cool.   I cute out a few sets in each color and then used a pen to roll up the edges a bit and hand cut some stems from my cocoa cardstock.  For centers I added brown (Cocoa) bland and adhered them to my car with clue dots.  I really look how the Doohicky dies worked out.

   As for my pocket, I printed the digi directly onto patterned paper and then paper-pieced the other colors.  There are some fabulous tutorials all about digital stamps and all the great things you can do with them on your computer.  You can find the tutorial over at CDAC HERE!!   If you love digi images as much as I do, you will LOVE this wonderful group.  It's open to ALL and free to join. 

This card was also created and will be submitted to these challenges:

• Paper Romance - Challenge # 17 - Handmade Flowers
• Tuesday Morning Sketches - Challenge # 60 - Handmade Flowers
• Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog -(Flower Power)  Make your own Flowers
