DTC

Crazy week, so this will be short!

Challenge: Digital Tuesday Challenge

Sponsor: My Grafico

Image: Wee Stamps

DTC-Boys

Another week at DTC and the theme is "boys." Why is that such a hard one for me?

I inked up Oops Teddy from Spesch Stamps. They are offering the winner 3 digis, so why not come on over and play?

 The paper and twine are from My Mind's Eye.

My SIL is over for the week and we plan on doing lots of crafting, so I'm gonna be pretty quiet for a couple of days. 

Have a great day!!

DTC-Spring Colors

Another Tuesday has arrived. Anyone else getting crazy "spring" weather? 

This week at Digital Tuesday Challenge, we're being sponsored by QKR Stampede. They are offering the winner 5 digi's. So, why not come have a try at it? The theme is spring colors, so there is a lot of options you could play with. I went with blue and green-blue skies and green grass always makes me thing of spring. The image I used can be found here.

I paper pieced his clothes using Basic Grey brand. The ribbon and button are old. I'm pretty pleased with how I've been using some of my stash. The twine is from American Crafts. I went with a clean and simple layout because I have the hardest time embellishing boy cards.

Challenges:

Craft Your Passion-Cute

Crafty Bloggers Network-Spring or Pastels

Cupcake Craft-Man Card 

I ♥ Bunnies-DTC

Hi Everyone! Happy Tuesday!!

We have another great challenge over at DTC. We're in the Easter spirit and we'd like to see your creations using something digital. I chose to use a freebie from Whimsie Doodles. Isn't she adorable?

The bling and keyhole are from Micheals. Flowers are an assortment. Ribbon and paper are old. :)I'm not sure what I think of my layout, but it is what it is. LOL

We are being sponsored by Yours or Mine Paper Crafts. Winner will receive a $10 voucher, so why not come play?

Challenges:

Frame It-DTC

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday! Trust you all had a fabulous week last week.

This week's theme for Digital Tuesday Challenge is to "frame it." We're being generously sponsored by My Grafico who is offering any set (no price limit) to the winner. The frame I used is from there; Delicate Frames set by Lil Ellaboudy Design. I just typed up the scripture on photoshop and pasted it in the frame. Then I printed it out of a low design paper. I hand trimmed around the edges and then again on the matte paper. Then I added some "vintage" flair.

Buttons or Bling-DTC

Welcome to the Digital Tuesday 200th challenge blog hop!!

We are having a blog hop to celebrate alongside our normal challenge, which is "Buttons or Bling" with the added option of making an anniversary card/gift, and we have prizes on the dt blogs as well as a prize for the challenge from our sponsor this week which is Robyn's Fetish who is giving away 5 digital images to one lucky winner.

For a chance to win a prize on the dt blogs all you have to do is comment on each dt blog, then leave a comment on the Digital Tuesday Challenge blog to let us know you have completed the hop. Your name will then be put into the draw and winners will be announced on the challenge blog next Tuesday along with the new challenge.

You can also enter this weeks challenge for a chance to win the Bugaboo prize and if you combine the buttons or bling theme along with something for an anniversary, you will be given an extra entry into the challenge prize draw.

The hop starts at Amy's blog, so you will want to start there.

I used a Wee Stamps digi image for my card. Since it is our anniversary, I went with the "love birds" theme. The main idea is to use buttons or bling and I'm not sure I could have come up with a bigger piece of bling. LOL! I got them at Micheals in their bead section 50% off. Oh, yeah! The paper is so old, I have no idea where it came from. The flowers are a wide variety. Lace and cheesecloth help give it a little vintage flair. 

Just leave a comment on this post for a chance to win my prize. I'd love for you to follow my blog, but it isn't necessary to win.

The next stop is Maya's blog.

Thinking of You

Hello All,

Don't forget to check out my candy
------------------------->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

We're back at Digital Tuesday Challenge with "pink and white." I am a girl who likes my colors, so this was a bit of a stretch for me. I decided I wanted to keep it fairly simple really emphasizing the image and the meaning behind it. She looks like she has passed all her chemo, her hair has come back, and she screams, "I survived!!!!!" :) This is actually a free image from Saturated Canary.

Winter Wonderland-DTC

Happy Tuesday! This card perfectly describes the weather we had this past weekend. It was a lazy Saturday with me crafting and hubby and kiddos playing in the snow. It was wonderful! 

This week at Digital Tuesday Challenge, we'd like to see your "Winter Wonderland" cards.  MyGrafico has generously sponsored us. The image from my card comes from their Penguin Digital Set-Cool Penguins. They are offering the winner 1 digital stamp set and 20% off an order.

I used the sketch from deconstructingjen. The snowflake punch is Martha Stewart. The sentiment was a clear quote that I cut out those three words and made my own. The image was colored with Copics. If you're looking for some fantastic tutorials you need to check out Kit and Clowder on my sidebar. She has started a new youtube channel and has several listed already. My hubby even sat and watched a couple with me. :)

Weight Loss Update: I switched over to doing the Weight Watchers method this week. I was really struggling and almost gave up, but thought I'd give this a whirl. I think I just needed to trick my mind. :) It's going pretty good. I also joined a group on FB that I have to report my exercising to. That has helped tremendously! 

DTC-Favorite Color Combo

This week at Digital Tuesday Challenge, we'd like to see your favorite color combo. I have many, but chose to use one of favorites for boys. This page was made with a kit from our sponsor-Template Dreams. It is called 'Hey There.' We'd love for you to join us.

Rain or Shine

Happy Tuesday! It's been an interesting weekend for me as I threw out my back. I've been close friend with the lazy boy and when I do get up, I walk like the crooked old lady you see in nursery rhymes. Ooooohhhh painful! I'm headed to the chiropractor this afternoon. Thank goodness my hubby has been home to take care of me and the kiddos. 

Thankfully, I was ahead of schedule to get my card made for Digital Tuesday Challenge.  I was hoping to decorate the inside, but plans changed due to sitting up hurts. LOL! I wanted to put something like "No matter the weather, we'll be friends forever." Maybe tomorrow....:) 

The image was donated generously from our sponsor Spesch Stamps. Her name is Samantha. The "shine" is from K & Company. Saw it sitting in my stash and thought that went perfectly! I printed the "rain or" off the computer. I don't remember the font...sorry. The flowers are a random plethora from Recollections, Prima, Hobby Lobby, etc. Twine comes from My Mind's Eye. The papers are MME, Echo Park and the sun was cut out from Simply Stories.

A Little Birdie Told Me...

Digital Tuesday Challenge is back at it after the holidays. It was nice to have a quick break, but it's also fun to use some new Christmas goodies. :) I've seen our challenge NEW BEGINNINGS floating around on several blogs, so it shouldn't be hard to get inspired. 

I am using an image from our sponsor Robyn's Fetish-Waking Up Birdie. I chose to keep the sentiment generic so it could be used for several "new beginnings" in the future (You're Moving, You're Having a Baby, etc.). The paper is from My Mind's Eye and I was inspired by this card from Pickled Paper Designs. Copics were my form of coloring.

Challenges:

Cute Card Thursday-Something New!

This card is for sale. Thank you for considering.

Weight Loss Update: I lost 3.6 lbs this week. To say I am excited is an understatement. I did not follow my calories to the T. We were invited out for dessert from our church friends, but I knew it was coming and tried to eat very light throughout the day. I also made sure I exercised. My legs are screaming at me this morning!
No new recipes to share. I tried one that I was pumped about, but there had to be a misprint in the book. It told me to let it cook for an hr and a half. I checked on it before halfway through and it was already scorched. Bummers!

Edwin & Tilda Skating

Good Morning, Everyone! Happy Tuesday! One week until Christmas...unreal!

This week at Digital Tuesday Challenge, we'd like to see layers. My digital element is the font. Prize: Crafts and Me-3 digis. I don't know the supplies used because I borrowed from my SIL. :)

 

Fabulous Fibers

FYI: I am in the process of moving, so my posts are scheduled ahead. Feel free to leave questions, but it may be awhile before I can get back to answering them. Thanks!

Digital Tuesday Challenge time again...

Theme: Fabulous Fibers

Sponsor: Digital Delights

I chose a digital image from Wee Stamps. So adorable!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Digital Tuesday Challenge

Yikes! I actually had my card done early, but I guess it helps to post it. LOL

 

The theme at Digital Tuesday Challenge is "warm & fuzzy." (It's a warm day and the twine is fuzzy...how's that for interpretation)? :) Our sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps  (7 IMAGES!!!!!) and the image I used is from there. So cute and so easy to color.

Steampunk-Digtal Tuesday Challenge

Ok, when I first found out what our challenge for Digital Tuesday Challenge was, I was a little intimidated. First of all, I had no idea what "steampunk" even meant. The only thing that came to mind was "punks!" LOL!! (Have you ever played that game where you have a word and you have to give a definition of what it might mean and the players try to figure out which one is the correct one? Yeah, I'm not very good)! 

After finding out that it had to do with mechanical items (gears, clocks, etc) I was still running scared. I do "cutesy." :) While I was browsing Pinterest, I came across this card and said, "There's my inspiration!" So, I found some clip-art and collaged them together in photoshop and cased it. 

My digital elements are the clocks and sentiment. I used paper from K & Company (old stuff), a little doily, twine (My Mind's Eye), floral pins, and flowers (Spare Parts & Petaloo). The other items are from a stash and I can't find where they're from.

We'd love to see what you come up with!! We're being sponsored by Spesch Stamps.

I've been trying to get my son's monthly album done before his first birthday...I gotta hurry! :) 

Digital Tuesday Challenge says to use a clear element. Mine is the magnifying glass from the kit by ScrapStreet. (It really is clear. You can move it anywhere on the page and it'll show what's underneath. Cool, huh?!)
