Thinking of You Card #2

I made a card on yesterday for a couple of challenges (CAS(E) this Sketch! and The Paper Players...scroll down to see it). I made the exact card (same sketch and the same colors, just moved around a bit).

Here it is:

Same Materials and Size as yesterday.

Now don't you think the green circles with red dots look like olives? I do...hahahahahahahaha.

On another note...had a great time in New York City with my son. The show (Elf, The Musical) was good. Here is a picture of (my) Buddy the Elf:

Someone actually came up and asked for his autograph...lol. (He almost wore the entire ELF outfit, but changed his mind at the last minute).

Have a great rest of the night....

Digi Haven Challenge Fall/Trees and/or Leaves

If you are looking for the CardzTV Challenge, click here.

Our challenge at Digi Haven is called "Fall/Trees and/or Leaves". It will last for two weeks, Nov 2nd through the 15th. Please use a free digi and link back to the original artist. Mynnette, one of our design team members, has graciously offered an original sentiment to the winner.

Here is my card:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White and Dark Blue
Dearie Dolls Digital Image
Spectrum Noir Markers
Inkssentials Glossy Accents

Fairly simple card with only Glossy Accents as an addition to the image. I didn't think it really needed anything else. Hope you agree...

Right now as I look at this image and am writing this post, ironically, I am listening to the blustery winds and pounding rain from Hurricane Sandy. This image has so much movement...so I guess it hits a little closer than normal.

If you want to be eligible for the winner's circle and Mynnette's original sentiment, please make sure you use a free digital image AND link back to the original artist.

Thanks for stopping by....please leave a comment.

Side note: The hurricane has past and we were very blessed that we suffered no damage. My son, who works in Atlantic City, has no idea when he will return to work due to the devastation that happened there. Again, I believed we were blessed.

CardzTV Stamps Challenge #18 "I'm So Thankful!"

If you are looking for Digi Haven Challenge "Fall/Trees and/or Leaves", click here (after 6 am).

It's challenge time at CardzTV again. This week is "I'm So Thankful!" (make a Thanksgiving project).

I made a card:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White (for base of card), Orange, Green, Dark Brown, Cream, Tan and Patterned Paper
Cricut Cartridge Simply Charmed Turkey 2, page 61 (Shift Base, Layer 1 Shift, Layer 2 Shift, Layer 3 Shift and Layer 4 Shift)
CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Ticket Talk, "Happy Thanksgiving!"
Black Pigment Ink
Queen and Co Pearls Sunflower Yellow, 2 Large, 2 Medium and 2 Small
Chalk, Green and Rust Brown
Mounting Tape

I really don't want to rush the month, but I can't wait to eat some turkey for Thanksgiving. How about you? You know, not just the turkey but the whole nine yards...stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, broccoli, corn and of course, pie with maybe some ice cream. (Boy, I just really made myself hungry! lol). Do you have your favorites? Tell me what they are, I would love to hear about them.

Please join in the fun and you could win a stamp set from Mary (your choice). The challenge runs until the 8th. What are you thankful for?

Digi Haven's November "Anything Goes"

It's our monthly "Anything Goes" Challenge at Digi Haven. Beccy at Beccy's Place is sponsoring us! Isn't that exciting? The winner will receive 3 (count them...1, 2, 3) digital images from her store! That is so generous of her. Thank you Beccy.

I used one of Beccy's free digital images for my card:

Inside:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White and Patterned Paper
Beccy's Place Digital Image
Spectrum Noir Markers
Spellbinders Nestabilities Big Scalloped Circles SM, Largest One
CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps, Christmas Joy "May the beauty of this season bring you joy!"
Queen and Co Pearls Grass Green, 2 Large and 2 Medium
Queen and Co Pearls Berry Red, 4 Small
White Pigment Ink

I made this as a gate-fold card. The scalloped circle was cut twice...once around the image and the second one out of plain white card stock. The second scalloped circle goes behind the image in order to cover any bleeding on the back. Makes it look finished when you open the card. I think the sentiment goes well with this card. Don't you?

Please go and check out the other designer's creations and see more of Beccy's images. Don't forget, if you enter and win, you could get your choice of 3 images. Good luck!

Thanks for stopping by...I would love to hear what you think. Please leave a comment.
