Going DOTTY at Squigglefly and in Real Life!!!

It's been pretty hectic around here this past week as we are trying to get all our "stuff" packed and ready for the Covered Bridge Festival that will start shortly AND I started a new job this past Monday!
BUT I didn't want to miss out on Rhonda's Rowdy Rascal's weekly Challenge where we were to use dots on our card here at Squigglefly!  I Surely got THAT covered!  I've used "Female Singer" by James Horvath to make a Get Well card.  She just seemed a little bit Sassy so I just couldn't refuse!!
Used a heavy embroidered cotton lace ribbon as trim and fancy cut the card.  Hope you like it and will join us at the challenge!

Lacy Sunshine is our generous Sponsor at Southern Girls Challenge

This week at Southern Girls Challenge, we are lucky to have a Lacy Sunshine image to use for our Shabby Chic cards or layouts.  Mine's called Maddie- Scarecrow and I love her!  The reason I made the head section larger is because of all the intricate detail on the digi--this way I can call attention to the face.  If I were to make her small enough to be one layer on the card, the details would be muddled because I couldn't have colored each section very well.   Come join us for our 3 week challenge-plenty of time to get your creation done and win some digis of your choosing!

Doodle Pantry is sponsoring "Christmas" over at Fab 'N' Funky

These challenges themed for Christmas are at least getting me in gear to start working on my Christmas Cards !  Fab 'n' Funky challenges everyone to create a Christmas card so here is my entry using Winter Wishes from Doodle Pantry.  From the digital papers, sentiment and image in both a tan fence and red fence, It's all available from this great site.  I threaded a sheer ribbon though the card, added snowflake eyelets and used Flower Soft and Multi Crystal Glitter Mix from Stampendous for the snow mixture on the image.  Hope you will be able to join in the challenge-have fun!

Choose Orange, Purple or Black at Squigglefly this week! Perfect for Halloween~

This week's challenge is SFC3814 Choose Orange, Purple, or Black

This week's challenge at Squigglefly is to create a project using orange, purple, or black as your primary card color.  You can use more than one of these colors on your card. Your card doesn't have to be Halloween theme, as you will see from the DT examples online, any topic is welcome as long as you chose one of the desired colors. We'd love for you to use a Squigglefly image, to be prize eligible it's required, but everyone is welcome to play along.

The image I'm using is from the artist Sandra Caldwell called What Witch. She was the basis for ALL the suggested colors and so much fun! Has lots of layers and fun ribbon and papers and some cute stamps-perfect to send for the holidays!  Come join us at the site for some fun and competition!  A FREE image is always a good thing!  See you there!

Kenny K is in the house at Seems a Little Sketchy!

 Kenny K is in the house at Seems a Little Sketchy for the next 2 weeks!  You could enter to win 3 Fabulous digital images from Kenny K Downloads- we have such great sponsors! 
I've definitely moved things around on the design but I really like how I've drawn attention to the main focus-Kenny's image!   Used dotted swiss cardstock for some texture, copics for the coloring, circle die-cut up on pop dots for dimension, finished up the inside with complimentary green design paper and a stamp from my stash.  Hummm.....wonder what my granddaughter is up to???  Thanks for stopping by and remember to get an entry in on our 2 week challenge-any image will work, just follow the sketch!  See you there!

Masculine Classic & Corvette cars at Doodle Pantry-Great for Birthdays, Father's Days

 Today, I needed a Masculine Birthday Card and chose a couple of the sets from Doodle Pantry-I love their pre-colored images when I'm needing something quickly!  I used Classic Cars3 and Corvette-what Man wouldn't like that combination?  The stripe and dotted papers, and sentiments are a mixture of each set. I think the best way of showing all the selections was to use a black card blank from The Paper Cut called a Funky Fold Accordion Card.  This pre-scored blank makes it SO EASY to make these intricate cards that usually require meticulous measurements and they come in a great assortment of colors!
 
 In the middle, larger section I stamped the Happy Birthday with my fav Hero Arts stamp.  Imagine, you get all this action all within a flattened size of 4.25 x 5.5 card!  I hope you will check both sites out for some neat ideas!

An Extra BONUS release from Doodle Pantry! WHOOOO WHOOOO

 New product release announcement:  There were SO MANY products on my October 1st release list, that Laurie from Doodle Pantry had to take a few out for a mini product release on September 16th!  Please be sure to visit the site to see 4 adorable new fall images and 2 new religious products.
The release set that I'm SO HAPPY to show you is called WhataHoot and it is fantastic!  There are so many components included and the coloring and shading is awesome.  With Lauries' png formats, I was able to layer the owls, extra branches, sentiment over top of some blue sky digital paper that I had.  You can see a glimpse of the patterned blue paper from the set for the inside.  I think when I added all the flower eyelets to the front of the card along with the green vine ribbon, it just made the whole front just POP!  I did reinforce the section that I was going to punch with additional cardstock but it still lays flat.  There is also gold Stickles around the Owls eyes-Hope you enjoy and will be encouraged to use any of these "bonus" releases on your next project!
