CIC #28 for Clearly Dollar Stamps

 It's challenge time at Clear Dollar Stamps! This time our challenge is: Critters.  We want to see what you can make using animals.  You can see mine above!

Here are a few guidelines that you need to follow:

************************************************

-Challenges are now going to be on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month, and you'll have 2 weeks to finish each challenge.

-Challenges can use any stamps or digis from any company

-Only one entry per person per challenge

-Prizes will be given away after both challenges for the month.  The number of prizes is determined by the number of participants for the month.  For every 20 entries there will be a $10 gift certificate for stamps or digis up for grabs.  (For example if over the entire month there were a total of 60 participants in both challenges, there will be 3 $10 gift certificates and 3 of the featured digital images to give away. . .that's a total of 6 winners in that example.)

-We will also be giving away the featured digi image....one for every 20 entries!

In other words, get creating! You won't wanna miss out on this!

REVEAL DAY at CDS and CIC#26 Chalelnge

It's reveal day at Clear Dollar Stamps! 

I just love this set! You have to check out the CDS store later on today once the store has been updated...you need to purchase this set (I will be showcasing more cards this month!). It is SO cute!

For my card, I actually merged 3 images to make this one image for the card. The bubble paper and the blue flowers (behind the image) are two of the matching digital papers!  The sentiment is from an old Hanna Stamps set...it says "A clean house is a sign of a lazy stamper"! :D I thought it was fitting for this image!

Thanks for another SPECTACULAR set Laurie! I LOVE it!

This is my CIC#26 Challenge card...I decided to try my hand at a digital card...I'm loving my PSE program! My batteries died in my camera so I needed a quick solution and the camera on my cell phone isn't that great (I learned that last week).  

Here is my card...using BLING is the challenge!

I used the Triple Chicks digi set

CIC #23 @ CDS & Digi Day Sponsor - SSD

This is a double duty post today! 

I've got two design team projects to post!

First up is for Clear Dollar Stamps - it was a CIC#23 - a colour challenge this time around...we had to use the colours above to create our cards...I used the Bunny Slippers set because, well, they were the right colours! And because I loved this adorable set! 

All the papers minus the black cardstock are from the set. That's what I love about these sets Laurie creates. She usually has some designer papers to go along with the digital images.  This set is no exception! 

You don't have to use these exact colors if you don't have them, just come close! You've got 2 weeks to strut your stuff using these colors.

Here are the details of the CIC challenges:

-Challenges are now going to be on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month, and you'll have 2 weeks to finish each challenge.

-Challenges can use any stamps or digis from any company

-Only one entry per person per challenge

And this one is for Sassy Studio Designs. We're sponsoring Stamp Something, a challenge blog...you'll have to check it out once they've got the new challenge posted to see what you can win from SSD!

Our challenge was to use a digital image! Not too hard, eh! I chose to use the Wicked Witch from the West. The inside of it says "Hope things get better soon".  I didn't know what else to use this image for except something UGLY! I didn't want it looking too Halloween-y! 

I tried to "ugly" up the papers by distressing them with my distress tool and inks and faux stitching. The sentiment I came up with! I used the "hello my pretty" phrase from the Wizard of Oz movie..I had to tie it in somehow and thought this would be a perfect way to do it.  

Thanks for stopping by today to check out my cards! I need to get off the computer now and get ready for a workshop/show tomorrow! YIKES!
