If I were . . . - Clear It Out Challenge

Does anyone know what time it it?

That's right . . .

It's time for a new challenge over at Clear It Out Challenge,  And once again, our fearless leader, Laura, has come up with another AMAZING challenge for us this week . . . this week is a "color" challenge.  So let's get out our paper, scissors, and glue . . .

Are you ready?

I didn't hear you . . .

Are you ready?

It's CHALLENGE time!!!

Theme:Yellow

Stash: Anything Yellow

And you have 1 week to play (till April 20th)

This week our sponsor is Melonheadz:

For this week's challenge, I chose several digi images from Melonheadz- Superhero Girl 3, Superhero Boy 4 and Superhero Girl 1 along with the sentiment "If I were a Superhero". So once again, using all PaperTemptress papers, here's what I came up with:

I know, "all PaperTemptress papers"??  Yes, it is ALL from PaperTemptress. I printed both digi images and the patterned papers (digi papers) on Cryogen Iridescent paper from PaperTemptress.  I love how they end up with a slight shimmer to them due to the shimmer of the Cryogen Iredescent paper.

The images were colored with Copics and fussy-cut . . . I love how easy Melonheadzdigi images are to fussy-cut!! It's because the  outside lines are a bit "thicker" thus making it easy to cut along those lines and still have an outline left when done. I also used Onyx Mica/Metallic (text weight) from PaperTemptress to give my card a "comic book" look . . . I used the text weight so it wouldn't be so heavy from all the layering.  My "yellow" stash are Sunshine Yellow skittles from DoubleClick - AKA A Busy Bee.

Remember, you have one week (till April 20th) to get your projects in at Clear It Out Challenge, so you can be eligible for the weekly prize which is from Melonheadz  .  Can't wait to see all the "yellow" projects that everyone will come up with this week.  For more inspiration, check out the rest of CIO DT's projects . . .  they are just "super". :)

Till the next time I'm up in the night.

Purr-fect Birthday - Eureka #136

Hi, all my crafty friends and family!!!

There's a new challenge this week at Eureka Stamps . . . and the theme this week is "Four-Legged Friend".
  

Since I am more of a cat person, I decided to use digi13205 "Kitty Party" and digi13203 "Purr-fect Birthday" from Eureka Stamps.  So using some CTMH papers (Hopscotch collection) and my Copics, I came up with this card:

Remember, you have one week to get your "Four-legged Friends" projects in over at Eureka Stamps in order to be eligible for the weekly prize.  I can't wait to see how many are "cat" people and how many are "dog" people . . . or whatever is in between. :) For more inspiration, please check out the other Design Team members' cards . . . they really are so inspiring!!!

Super Scraps Saturday - HIMCR #195

Hi, all my crafty friends and family!!

Here it is the 2nd Saturday of the month
and you know what that means, don't you??

That's right . . . not only is it time for a new challenge over at Hiding in My Craft Room, but it's time for a Super Scraps Saturday challenge.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, I just LOVE Super Scraps Saturday challenges because it helps me to remember to use up some of those scraps.  And we all know, papercrafters have plenty of scraps. lol 

So let's get out those scraps and get to craftin'!!!

The sponsor is Scrappers Delights:

The giveaway is Winner's Choice of 3 images from Scrappers Delights.

For this week's challenge, I used a digi image called "Baby Boo Bee with flower" from Scrappers Delights.  I just love "Baby Boo" images because she's just so cute!  So getting out my scraps folder(s) and Derwent Pastel Pencils, here's what I came up with:

I'm unsure what paper collection(s) the scraps were from except the yellow and white papers.  The yellow paper is Yellow Ruche paper and the white is Cryogen Iridescent paper which both are from PaperTemptress.

Remember, you have one (1) week (till April 18th at 2am PST) to get your projects in over in at Hiding in My Craft Room in order to be for this week's prize from Scrappers Delights.  Can't wait to see what you can come up with using your scraps.

For this week's challenge, I got to use the cutest digi image from A Day for Daisies called "Painted Mushroom".  So pairing it with some of my scraps, here's my project for this week:

I colored my digi image with Derwent Pastel Pencils.  I am loving how easy they are to use and how it does give a somewhat "watercolor" look to my images . . . and it looks so much better in person it. The paper is scraps and the sentiment and gems are from CTMH, .

Clear It Out Challege - Something hoarded

Does anyone know what time it is?

It's CHALLENGE time!!!

Yes, it is time for a new challenge over at Clear It Out Challenge. 

It is time to set the "Summer" clothes aside (can sort out warmer weather
clothing later because if your weather is like it has been here, it can't
make up its mind on whether to stay warm or not - lol);
turn off the TV (nothing but talk shows on right now anyway);

and time to get your crafty on!!! And, as usual, our wonderful 

leader, Laura, has come up with another AMAZING challenge 

for us.   So easy, peasy, lemon squeesy . . .

 Are you ready???

I didn't hear you . . . 

Are you ready???

Okay, it's challenge time!!!

Theme:  Anything Goes

Stash: something you've been hoarding

And you have one (1) week to play (till April 7th)

This week our sponsor is:

For this week's challenge, I chose another "Rory" digi image (Rory sitting on a rainbow) from Lacy Sunshine. I chose her . . . well, I needed something to remind me that the warm weather will eventually be here for good . . . as soon as it makes up its mind.  I think it was actually 73 degrees yesterday with a low of 41F.. It has been long COLD winter, so this warmer weather is a welcome change. So with that in mind, I came up with this card:

I used a sketch from Mojo Monday (again - I just love their sketches), but tried to keep the card clean and simple as not to take from the image.  As I've said before, Rory is my favorite digi character from Lacy Sunshine. :) 

My hoarded items are some of the papers . . . either have een down to my last sheet and need to order more OR it's the last piece period (the orange) and I can't find it anywhere. Also, the crinkle ribbon is from 3Girl Jam that I ordered as a gift and it's a small piece I cut off it before giving the rest away.

Now remember, you have one week (till April 7th) to get your projects in so you can be eligible for the prize at Clear It Out Challenge..  I can't wait to see what everyone else has been hoarding. 

Till the next time I'm up in the night.

and winners . . .

Hi, all my crafty friends and family!!!

There's a new challenge this week at Eureka Stamps . . . and the theme this week is "More Spring". Perfect since the weather STILL can't make up its mind!!!  LOL

For this week's challenge, I used digi36303 "Spring set of 4" and digi25411 "Vertical Thank You"  from Eureka Stamps.  So using my new pastel pencils and some of my favorite PaperTemptress papers, here's what I came up with:

Supplies:
 digi36303 "Spring set of 4" from Eureka Stamps.
 digi25411 "Vertical Thank You"  from Eureka Stamps.
"Lagoon" Mica.Metallic paper from PaperTemptress (blue paper)
White/Ivory Leather paper from PaperTemptress 
Cryogen Iridescent paper from PaperTemptress
Derwent Inktense pencils
Derwent Pastel pencils

I love the soft look (or maybe watercolor look) the pastel pencils gave the images. One piece of advice - once done with one image/part, either spray a fixative or be VERY careful not to rub/rest your hand on it untile you do. Otherwise, it'll smudge . . .  believe me, I know. lol What I did was use q-tips to blend my clors gently, then "tp" paper on table to release any extra pencil "dust". It seemed to work.

Remember, you have one week to get your "More Spring" projects in over at Eureka Stamps in order to be eligible for the weekly prize.  And for more inspiration, check out the other Design Team members' cards . . . they really are so inspiring!!!
