St. David's Day celebration with Kenny K and Through the Purple Haze!

 I was so happy to get the chance to help out my newest DT group, Through the Purple Haze, by covering for a member that was under the weather.  Hope you're on the way to recovery Pam!
The neat thing is that I got to use an image from Kenny K Downloads called Farmers Daughter!  She's adorable~
NOW the best part of this challenge is that "across the pond" they will be celebrating St. David's Day soon.  I admit that I had to brush up on my geography and traditions to get the true grasp of what a big deal this is.  I found flags in black & gold, Welsh flags in green, white, and red with a big red dragon in the middle and gorgeous daffodils.  Now that's a whole lot of "stuff" to get worked into a card even by someone in the USA!  But now you can understand my choice of mat and background design paper and the white buttons with black & white baker's twine.  The Welsh flag colors show up
in her "Farmers" clothes and hat.  No dragon lol, but think I got everything else accounted for.  In the inside I added some complimentary paper and a pretty sentiment.  I hope you've enjoyed learning about the Welsh celebration and my card.  Be sure and go enter in our Weekly challenge at Through the Purple Haze.

Kenny K Sponsors our Seems a Little Sketchy Challenge Again!!

It's that time again all around the United States when people young and old graduate from many organizations of Higher Learning.  I always need graduation cards so was very glad to get this one from our Sponsor, Kenny K Downloads.  It's a perfect image and I love the way it's designed from an upper angle!














I'm following the sketch shown here using several different grad papers from my stash.  I think the awesome holographic paper I used as a small circle really sets off the digital image.  I just love how the card went together-hope you do too!  Kenny K is offering 3 images of your choice to the winner so come on and make an entry for our 2-week challenge!

Kenny K is sponsoring Seems A Little Sketchy!

I'm so thrilled to have Kenny K be our sponsor this week!  He has so many neat images and this  image called Anime Soccer digi stamp is the focus of my card. Thought it would be great encouragement card for some kid out there!  I used the extra image I printed out to fancy cut from his knee to the foot and then apply it with foam dot and adhesive so that it looks like the foot is actually kicking to you.  Trimmed out the inside and outside with some cardstock stickers with metallic trim. The greatest thing at Seems a Little Sketchy is that we give everyone a sketch to use so it makes it easier to compose the card~  Come and play with us the next two weeks-Kenny K is giving away 3 free digis to the winner of the challenge!

Kenny K sponsors Seems a Little Sketchy-YEAH!!

Seems a Little Sketchy  and Kenny K Downloads are teaming up to partner this next challenge for you--If you LOVE his digital images like I do, this was wonderful news!

I used Santa Cookies and just love her in the pinks and lime greens with the blonde hair~ I'm thinking of a sweet pre-teen granddaughter that this will fit the bill for at Christmas!  Kind-of looks like her with the hair and eyes!  I used papers-buttons-and pink velvet ribbon from my stash.  The neat thing I tried on this card was to "release" her pair of boots and hat from the scalloped oval that I highlighted with pink chalk ink.

I hope this inspires you to visit his site and choose from many images that are versatile and beautifully created-gotta love those big eyes and something for men, kids, and gals!  Hope to see your creations soon!
