The Digi Shack Challenge #20

Hello everyone! I know I've been MIA for a while. We had some electrical issues here that we had to take care of. While that was going on the electricians we hired cut our Road Runner (cable internet) line and we were without the internet!!! Yikes!!! Talk about withdrawals! ;O) So today I am posting the current challenge for The Digi Shack. We have a Color combo for you this time! The colors are: Chocolate Brown, Carmel, Bronze (or something similar) and teal. We would love to see what you've created! Be sure to add your creation to Mr. Linky at TDS's blog. This challenge will change on Thursday. Sorry for the short notice! Here is my card...

Dustin Pike Freebie

Hi again all! Dustin Pike has a super cute freebie today that all of you owl lovers won't want to miss! :O)
Be sure to check Dustin's blog tomorrow for another release! Have a wonderful day!!!

Fluttering Quotes

Good morning everyone and happy hump day! It's Wednesday again...I have no idea where the time has gone since last Wednesday! Time seems to vanish when kids start school. ;O) This week's challenge for Flutter By Wednesday at Danni's Dream's is to use your favorite quote with your butterfly or fairy. That's gotta be an easy one for all of us! Here is my creation...

Beginning next week, and running through September, you'll want to be sure to check out Danni's blog. She is celebrating her 40th birthday with us all! She'll have awesome challenges, fabby guest designers and yummy blog candy! Woohoo! Can't wait to see you there!

I hope you enjoy my card this week! Be sure to check out the rest of the design team's creations! Ann, Cassie, Chris, Christine, Danni, Harriet, Heather, Jodi, Kim, Michelle, Nancy, Nicola, & Stef.

Back to School...

Today is the first day of 7th grade for my son, Jacob. He's in a new district, so he doesn't know anyone yet. I have been more worried than he has, but today was it. I wanted him to know I was thinking of him and that we know he'll do great today, so I made him a little card with a Dustin Pike digi image. He grinned really big when I gave it to him this morning. :O)
Thanks for stopping by!

The Digi Shack Challenge is in the BAG!!!

Happy Thursday! Today is the weekly challenge for The Digi Shack! This weeks challenge is a special one. Toni not only owns TDS, but also owns Kharlie Bug, which is her line of handbags and all things fabric. The store just launched less than three weeks ago after a year long break from sewing. So this weeks challenge is all about Kharlie Bug! Basically you’ll click on her etsy store, pick an item you LOVE and use it as inspiration for your creation. It can be that you love the colors, the print, the style, the shape, anything that inspires you.
Then you’ll post a link to your challenge creation using Mr. Linky and Toni will then choose the one she likes the best and that person will get a free handbag! Ooh, yep I said it! A free handbag. The handbag will be chosen by Toni. You have until Wednesday August 26th at midnight pacific time to upload your links in order to be entered to win. There is one more step to win though...you must put a link to this post or type up your own post directing your readers to Toni's etsy store to participate. Easy peasy! Yes, you must however participate in the challenge to win!
When uploading your cards or pages to an online gallery please use TDSC019 as your tag.

Here is the cosmetic bag I chose for my inspiration. I love the blue and brown combo with the flowers. :O)

Here is my card using the hibiscus image and the sentiment from The Digi Shack. Enjoy!

Flutterby Case

Happy Wednesday and welcome to the next Flutter By Wednesday at Danni's Dreams! This week our challenge is from team member, Cassie. She challenged us to CASE (copy and steal everything) from another flutter by team member's card. Please be sure to tell us in your post who you CASE'd. I CASE'd my lovely team member, Ann! :O) Thanks for the inspiration, girly! Here is her card (first photo) and my card. I had issues with my camera, so the picture isn't the greatest.
I hope you enjoy my card this week! Be sure to check out the rest of the design team's creations! Ann, Cassie, Chris, Christine, Danni, Harriet, Heather, Jodi, Kim, Michelle, Nancy, Nicola, Stef & Taylor.

The Digi Shack Blog Hop Stop!

Hello everyone! This is the next stop for The Digi Shack's Blog Hop! If you came from Kemi's blog, you're right on track! If not, you might want to start at the beginning (The Digi Shack) so you don't miss out on anything! I have 2 samples of new releases for you today. The first is a super cute pair of shoes...who couldn't use that?

I used Kaiser Crafts DP and some cream cardstock. I printed the image 3 times, once on each color (cream - I added the sentiment to this one, dots, brown). I cut out the sections I wanted from the brown and dotted DP and glued to the cream stock. I distressed the edge with Chocolate ink from CTMH and glued that to my striped DP. I colored the tags on the soles of the shoes with a gold metallic pen and the heel with a copic marker. I added Kaiser pearls to the corner.

The second image I have is for a New Year Celebration. :O)
I used copic markers to color in the image. I matted it on gold mettalic cardstock and adhered those onto the purple DP by DCWV. I added 4 rhinestones in coordinating colors to give a little sparkle to the card. Lastly, I added Liquid Glass (Crystal Effects) to the lenses of the glasses and the champagne bottle. Easy peasy! I hope you enjoyed my samples!

***So here is my question to you...having seen those super cute pumps...how many pairs of shoes do YOU have? My hubby is appalled by the number of shoes I have and I have even gone through them this summer and weeded some out! MEN! I have 52 pairs. That just a small collection. ;O)***

Answer my question as you pass through and I'll choose 3 of you to receive a free image from The Digi Shack of my choosing.

Now on to the next blog!

Go visit Marilyn at Paper Dreams.

Fly, Flutterby!

Hello all! It's Wednesday and you know what that means! Another Flutter By Wednesday over at Danni's Dreams! This week is an open challenge...all you have to do is use a faerie or butterfly anywhere on your project! I didn't make my card until last night and I have to say, I sat staring at the paper waiting for inspiration to strike. I tried a bajillion different things and this is what I came up with. Not very inspiring, but it's cute enough, I think. ;O)
I hope you enjoy my card this week! Be sure to check out the rest of the design team's creations! Ann, Cassie, Chris, Christine, Danni, Harriet, Heather, Jodi, Kim, Michelle, Nancy, Nicola, Stef & Taylor.
