Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #31: Friendship

Greetings!

Happy Monday and Columbus Day!  Today is bitter sweet for me because this will be my last challenge over at Tammy's Scrapin Corner challenge as part of the Design Team.  I  have enjoyed working with the awesome designers at TSC and look forward to seeing them in the blogosphere.  Today I dedicate this card to all the wonderful DTs at TSC (past and present).  This week's challenge theme is "Friendship."

We have 2 generous sponsors for this challenge and they are Digi Darla and Bugaboo. I actually decided to use the Digi Darla "Birds Hearts wreath" image for my creation.

Here's my creation...

Best Friends

I colored the image up a couple weeks before I put the card together.  I really didn't know what type of layout I was going to use.  My good e-buddy Kim Bell sent me some yummy diecuts to play with so I pulled them out, along with 6x6 paper, some Wild Orchid flowers and went to town. I really like how the card turned out.

I hope you join me for TSC challenge this week!

Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #28 "Anything Goes"

Greetings!

This will be a kind of long post; therefore, I will get right to business.  This week over at Tammy's Scrapin Corner challenge it's an "Anything Goes" challenge.  So, no excuses for not joining in the fun this week.

Our generous sponsors for this challenge are Digi Darla Designs and Stitchy Bear Designs.  I chose to create two cards this week.  The first card I created I used Robert Jackson's Digital Expression "Granny's Quilt" and Digi Darlas "Flowergirl."  I am also throwing in another treat for you.  I created a tutorial for my Digi Darla card.  I hope that you find it easy to follow and fun to make.  :-)

Here are my creations and tutorial...

RJ Digital Expressions "Granny's Quilt"



Sentiment by ME

****"Oober Easy Easle" card****




Here's my other creation (using the tutorial)...


Digi Darla's "Flowergirl"

  

Create w/TLC wordart

I created my first card using a 6x6 Scalloped square cardbase.  I layered on SU cardstock and then stitched it on the sewing machine.  I added square dp tiles made using the SU scalloped punch.  I cut out a circle using Spellbinder's loop circle diecut.  I colored my image using Copic markers and finished it off with buttons.  This card is a bit sentimental to me, because my grandmother (who was my original BFF) made quilts.  I use to love helping her cut out the square pieces.  She was awesome and I miss her a lot.

My other card was created using the tutorial and I was playing around discovered this would work. lol  I always create by accident (hence the quote at the bottom of my blog post).  I used SU cardstock and papers to create this easle card.  I added some Wild Orchid flowers and a perfect sentiment from Paulette over at Create with TLC to finish it up.

I hope that you will give the tut a try (and let me know if it works or not) and come play with us over at TSC!

Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #25 "Lots of Layers"

Greetings!

I would like to first of all thank everyone for their well wishes. This week over at Tammy's Scrapin Corner challenge it is Lots of Layers!

This week our generous sponsors are Digi Darla and Bugaboo Stamps.  I chose to use Digi Darla "Sweeping Fall Leaves" image for my creation.

Here's my creation...


I colored this image using Photoshop.  I used Leelou digital paper and elements to create this page.  The sentiment was found online.  I used 6 different different papers to create lots of layers for this layout.  I love creating this little scenes, because they make awesome scrapbook pages, card covers or you can frame them and use for wall art.

Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #18 - "Anything Goes"

Greetings!

Happy Monday! It's that time of the week for another challenge over at Tammy's Scrapin Corner. This week's theme is Anything Goes and our sponsors this week is Digi Darla and Sassy Studios. I chose to design two cards this week.  I used the "Boy with flowers" from Digi Darla and "Aero Boy" from Melania Deasy.  I didn't realize that I was creating two "boy" cards until I sat down to color. lol  I know making "male" cards initimidate some people, but it just comes easy for me.  I love all the frilly girly things you can do with a "female" card, but I also enjoy the challenge of making a simple "boy" card and getting the same "wow" factor.

Here are my creations...

Boy with flowers

(The gorgeous Spring Fence scene behind the boy is from Designed to Delight.)

Aero Boy


Boy with Flowers
I started out with a diecut shaped card cut out from my Cricut.  I layered on blue Bazzill cardstock and matted my image on top.  I colored my image using Copics and added a border using my Copic multi-liner pen.  I also added a sentiment from Paulette over at Create with TLC and finished it off with a plant charm from my stash.

Aero Boy
I started out with 5 x 5 cardstock from SU and begin to layer on dps.  I used my Spellbinder's circle to cut out a black mat and dp.  I colored everything using my Copics R35, R37, E13, E21,W5, W3, W1, W00, C1, C3, Y08, Y000, Y11, BG10, BG11, and B00.  I used Black Copic marker to make a trim around the image.  I added some glaze to his goggles.  I cut out the clouds and popped them and the image using 3D pop dots.  The sentiment I created on my computer.

Well, I hope that you will join us for the challenge this week.
