Scrapper's Delights is sponsoring Through the Purple Haze's Monthly Challenge!

At Through the Purple Haze this month, we are being sponsored by Scraper's Delights on our next Any Thing Goes Challenge.  I go the opportunity to do **2** images-the first one is called Cupcake Honey-I just adore her look!  Must be the glasses that interest me so much!  I double matted the Copic Colored image and wrapped the mats with a sheer yellow imprinted ribbon.  I used a bright spring flowered design paper and attached by fav embellishment-Buttons!
There's a Birthday Sentiment inside, matted and on a pretty pink paper.

*****************************
The next image is called Nerissa-Mermaid and is also by Scrapper's Delights.  I couldn't resist doing a little staging with her as she's sort-of laying down.  I had this great boulder paper just purchased so I created like a rocky knoll for her to gaze out from.  I even cut out some random rocks and put a pop dot on the back for dimension.  THEN I used these terriffic high finish sequins in aqua, green and blue from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps so that it would be like water spray shimmering in the sun.  The neat thing I did with Nerissa was create a tail fin and side fins out of green vellum and propped them up with some Zots.
On the inside, I finished off with design paper and a sentiment and accented it with silver sequins.
Hope you like the examples of what our sponsor has waiting for you-come join in the fun month long challenge with us!

Eiglassing Digitals is sponsoring a ATG Challenge at Through the Purple Haze

The neat thing about joining International Design Teams is that you get exposed to digital companies that you may have never heard of but, are very interesting.  Such is the case with Through the Purple Haze and their challenge using Eiglassing Digitals.  The one here is called Bowl of Daffodils.  I just so happen to have the perfect double sided designer paper as you can see in the picture!!  I'm using this as a Mother's Day card-so feminine with the flowers, lace and stickles for a little bling. 

While the flowers are a mixture of jonquils, daffodils, and narcissus I believe, the paper sets it all off nicely.  Be sure to check out our next challenge this next month at Through the Purple Haze!

The East Wind sponsors us at Through the Purple Haze

Well, this is a strange turn of events!  This will actually be my 4th and last DT entry for Through the Purple Haze as they are closing up shop.  Due to health and Family obligations, the owner has decided it is time to call it quits and that's fair.  One has to put those issues first and foremost in your life.  I will be sad to see them close as they had neat sponsors and are great gals, but New Things are on the horizon for me that are exciting and will keep me busy.  More on that to come shortly.
I FINALLY got to use an East Wind image-so one goal accomplished!  Boy the detail on this image is amazing and often times, I wished I had made the digital a bit larger!  But I had FUN!  I made the card focused on the image as a "thinking of you/love" example.  Used an over-sized zinnia paper flower to give her something to "sit" on and then of course the sentiment.  This could be used for any event.
I wish everyone in the group the very best, the best of health, and a happy life.  Thanks for the opportunity to be in your group, even for a short time.  There will be challenges through the end of the month but not for my group.  So I hope you will visit them through March 30th.*** Well there has been an update on the TTPH website and a change of command!  Under new management, the Challenge Site will switch to a monthly Challenge Blog with many of it's Great Sponsors returning.  So NOW, on March 30th (so close to April 1st), watch for the new challenge on TTPH.  Glad they were able to revise it and hope you will support the new and improved TTPH.

Scrapper's Delights~Anything Goes~Through the Purple Haze=GREAT CHALLENGE This week!!!

I'm so DELIGHTED to be showcasing my third Team entry for the DT at Through the Purple Haze.  They have awesome sponsors and this week it is "Anything Goes" and you know how we ALL love that!  They are being sponsored by Scrapper's Delights and I'm using one of their FREEBIES!  See what you could be using??
I admit this is a step out of my Comfort Zone because I've never tried this wild hair coloring that's all the rave right now!  BUT, I've decided I think it's a lot of fun!  I was inspired by the sample they showed at Scrapper's Delights.  To give her a "base", I added some great grass paper from my stash as well as some "cloud" paper.  It's my fav!  I used foam dots under the image for dimension-I knew that the balloon strings would get lost in my "fancy cut" on the image so I used blur & white baker's twine, tied around the end and looped back through the backside of the image.  The inside has 2 panels of coordinating blue & rose strips with a sentiment for Birthday's.  The circle sentiment is from the internet and is such fun-I love swirly font!

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.

My first challenge with them and open to all is one of our favorites:  Anything Goes!  The sponsor for this anticipated challenge is Zuri Artsy Craftsy and she has a delightful Etsy Store with many different images.  Please go and check out the site-you won't be disappointed.  The image I got to use was "Erika", a super Birthday image--I can Always use those kind of cards.  I had this printed vellum paper with all kinds of shiny confetti on it, along with some dimensional embellishments that were perfect for the theme.  I colored her up with Copics, my favorite coloring pens and gave her a dimensional feel with pop dots.  The sentiment is from my stash as is the inside design paper and wording.  Hope you will come visit Through the Purple Haze and create an entry for us!
