It's A Costume Party Blog Hop

Homemade Flower Challenge at Digi Doodle Shop's Challenges

 

The challenge this week at Digi Doodle Shop's Challenges is to use a handmade flower on your project.  The flower on my card was made with a paper punch and coffee filters.  Super easy flower that holds it's shape easily.  I used a little glossy accents on her shoes to make them look like black panent leather.  It doesn't show up well in the pic but it looks great.

The image I used is new in the Digi Doodle Shop.  It is called Flower Girl and you can find it HERE

 

I used the sketch from Sketches by Carly for my card.

Young At Heart

The challenge this week at Digi Doodle Shop's Best is to use pearls.  I needed a birthday card for my mom and this challenge theme is perfect.   The  image is Glass of Wine from the Digi Doodle Shop.  When I first saw this image I just knew I would need to color the hat red and make her look like a very young member of the Red Hat Society.

 here is the inside of the card:

I am sure my mother will get a chuckle out of this card.

New Sketch by Carly

Carly has another fabulous sketch for us. 

 I did something a little different for my project.  I decided to make the sentiment be the focus of the card.

I also went a little gender neutral for the card.  Two of  my daycare moms are expecting and one knows the gender of the child but isn't telling and the other wants to be surprised.  As for me, I am just looking forward to holding two new precious bundles of joy!!

 Here is the inside:

Carly has a great challenge for everyone this week.  

You get to pick which of her sketches you want to use for the challenge.  

I chose sketch #5

We are sponsored by The Paper Shelter for this challenge.  

I used the image Pop Star for my card.

I turned sketch #5 into an easel card using the circle card from the Wild Card Cricut cartridge.

 This card is for my niece who will be 9 years old this month.

I often like to decorate the envelope as well.  Since I was giving this

card to Aubri in person, I decided to go a little bolder with the design.

Scalloped Circles:  Cricut Everyday cartridge 5.5 inches
Music notes:  Quarter note Cricut cartridge cut at 1.25 and 1.5 inches

Stripes

The challenge at Digi Doodle Shop's challenges this week is to use stripes.

For my card, I used the image A Drink of Water from the  Digi Doodle Shop.

 I also used one of Carly's sketches.  It is a great sketch and is very versatile.  I am sure I will be using this one alot in my card making.

I hope you join us in the challenge.  Just link up your project using stripes to the Digi Doodle Shop Challenge blog for your chance to win a gift certificate to the shop.

New Sketch by Carly

 Carly has a new sketch for us this week.   It is a super versatile sketch so I can't wait to see what you create with it.  This challenge is sponsored by My Heart Pieces.  They are giving the winner of the challenge 3 digi images of their choice.

For my card I used the image Waiting Fairy from My Heart Pieces.  After coloring the entire image, I cut out another set of wings to give a little more dimension to the card.  And of course, I painted them with extreme glitter paint.  If you follow my blog, you know I love that stuff.  It is so easy to use and dries in less than 5 minutes.  I also love the fact that I can add more after it dries if I want my project to be even more glittery.

Now it is your turn to show us what you can do with Carly's sketch.  You have two weeks to create a project and upload it to the challenge blog for your chance to win.  Can't wait to see what you create!
