Digi Doodle Shop's Best Challenge #34 Anything Goes

Time for another "Anything Goes" challenge at Digi Doodle Shop's Best. I chose the image "Turkey in Disquise" from the Digi Doodle Shop. I think this guy is so much fun. I figured for his disquise to work, he should bring a basket filled with lots of goodies. I hope that you join us in the challenge this week. One lucky winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to the Digi Doodle Shop.

The yellow tissue paper inside the basket is actually reusable tissue paper. A friend who owns a Decorator's shop gave me a bundle of several colors as a gift. This stuff is wonderful!! It doesn't wrinkle so you can use it over and over again. It kind of feels like fusible web but not as stiff.

The Perfect Tree

I am on a mission to get my Christmas cards done in time to be mailed out in a timely manner this year. Seems like a never ending job. I used the image The Perfect Tree from Digi Doodle Shop. I added some snow tex for the snow on the ground.

I plan to enter this card into the following challenges:

Black and White Christmas Ornament

Yes, I have another card for today. I think this is number 3. I made this for the challenge over at Karen's Doodles and just couldn't wait to post it until tomorrow. The challenge is Black and White Christmas. All papers are to be black and white but other colors can be used on the image. I used the image Meet Me Under the Mistletoe from Karen's Doodles. Isn't this elephant cute? I tried to give her an elegant look as if she was giong to a Christmas party. Her dress and bow are plain white with some stickles and then accented with snow white flower soft. The card base is the ornament card from the Wild Card Cricut cartridge. I used black glitter paper for the ornament.

Card Details:

Ornament Card: Wild Card Cricut cartridge cut at 5.75 inches

Scalloped Circle: Mini Monograms Cricut cartridge cut at 4.75 inches

Copics: C1, C3, C7, W1, R000, R00, R20, G000

Pink and Yellow Tilda

The first challenge on the Magnolia-icious challenge blog is to create a card using the colors pink and yellow. This card was very challenging for me because even though I like those colors, I hardly ever use them together. Luckily, I found this paper in my stash and it works perfectly for this challenge. I used a gold Spica pen on the fairy dust but not sure it shows up in the picture.

Digi Doodle Shop's Best Challenge #33 Don't Forget Our Men

The challenge this week at Digi Doodle Shop's Best is titled "Don't Forget Our Men" You need to make a manly project. I chose the image Body Tot Deputy from the Digi Doodle Shop. He just makes me smile. Hehehe! My brother-in-law is our local sheriff so this card will be perfect for him. We would love to have you join us for this challenge. Simply make a project fit for a man and link it up on the Digi Doodle Shop's Best challenge blog. The winner will receive a gift certificate to the Digi Doodle Shop. The trim is a piece of leather that I picked up at the Big Lot's store. One of the best finds ever for adding special touches to my guy projects. I used a gold Spica pen on the deputy's shirt badge.

Aud Sentiments Challenge #15 Happy Thanksgiving

It's my favorite day of the month again! Time for another fun challenge at Aud Sentiments. The theme for this challenge is "Happy Thanksgiving" or "Thanks". You must use one of those sentiments on your card. For the challenge this week we are being sponsored by Catherine Pooler. She is a Stampin Up demonstrator. She sent members of the design team fabulous papers and embellishments to use for our cards. She sent me the selection of papers I used on my card as well as the ribbon and brad. Even though I have a few stamps from Stampin Up I had never used their papers before this challenge. I have to say that I am very impressed! Not only are they beautiful, but the papers cut so easily with my trimmer and my Cricut. I had heard people say the paper "cuts like butter" and that is an accurate description of the papers.

Your Next Stamp Challenge #29 YNS It!

I am so excited! I am a guest designer for the Your Next Stamp challenge blog. All of their stamps are just too cute and make wonderful projects. The challenge for this week is YNS It! I was given the assignment to use two of the following on my card: Yellow, Nesties and Stickles. I couldn't choose just two so I used all three!! Yellow happens to be my favorite color!
For my card I chose to use the stamp Windy Day Fiona. I decided that a shaker box would be a fun way to show her having some fun in the leaves. I added some Autumn Flower Soft in the shaker box to look like falling leaves. Behind the shaker box I used 2 cuts from the Dahlia Spellbinders nestibilities to make a scalloped circle.

Card Details:
