FAMILY MATTERS - JDE CAS CHALLENGE

Hello, Cardies!  This is a re-post.  I have been a little under the weather and have not had much interest in crafting or much of anything else.   Over at The Outlawz, The Greetings Team Challenge this week is National Popcorn Week!  We are to create a project with "Popped Elements" or use Popcorn or even make a Pop Up Card.   I don't have the energy to do any of that, so I decided to repost this Robert Jackson image.  The window is "Popped Out".   Hope you will join us.

We have three sponsors this month for the Greetings Challenge.   Robert Jackson in one of those sponsors.  You could win some fun images.  See ya there!
Hugz,

Thanks, for looking!

HOLTZ IT RIGHT THERE! Jackson's Digital Expressions

"Is Anybody In There" Digital Image by Robert Jackson
Fine Arts by Robert Jackson

Hi there, Cardies!  This week is a wonderful fun week at Jackson's Digital Expressions!  The CAS challenge team is hosting, and they have chosen a wonderful twist for this week's Anything Goes Challenge...Use a Tim Holtz Product on your card.  I figure at least eighty percent of the cards created this week will automatically qualify.  For my project, I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks (Pumice Stone, Stormy Sky, and Scattered Straw) blended with Copics to create the weathered look for my Outhouse.  I also used "Tea Dye" Distress Ink around the edges of my card.  The very yellow color is a blend of chalks!

I just love this image by Robert Jackson and it took a while to decide whether to use the male or female version, and then the captions were endless.  I finally settled on this one and then made my little toilet paper roll.  I hope you will drop by and leave a project.  Remember, you are not required to use a Robert Jackson Image in the challenge.    Thanks so much for checking out my blog.  This Friday I plan a marathon personal blog hop and I hope to visit the blogs of all my followers.  If I don't finish on Friday, I will pick up on Sunday.

Big Hugz,
Chana

Purple For Peace Day - Outlawz Greetings Challenge

Image By Robert Jackson

Good Morning, Cardies!

MONDAY means a new Greetings Challenge at The Outlawz,   This is really an off week for me at The Outlawz (we get two weeks per month off) but I wanted to participate. Today is Purple For Peace Day, I wanted to do something to honor the service of the men and women who risk paying the ultimate price to insure our peace and tranquility. I  served in the United States Army, and the camouflage ensignia on the bow is mine.  I hand wrote the sentiment and it expresses not only my feelings, but also those of my husband  (Army) and my son (Navy) who also served.

MONDAY is  always "TAMMY'S SCRAPIN CORNER" day here at Card-d-ology.  Tammy and Marc have assembled a truly talented group of designers and they put together wonderful challenges each Monday for our pleasure.  I did not get the challenge theme for this week but hopefully, my card will qualify. I will update this post when I have the deets.  Check IT Out!!!

MONDAY is also the last day to enter this week's "Anything Goes" Challenge over at Jackson's Digital Expressions!  Special images are not required, we just love to see your fantastic designs while we use our design challenges to introduce you to the work of super talented digi artist Robert Jackson!  Our new challenge starts on Tuesday, and our Altered Art Challenge Team is hosting.  Whoopee!  This means that in addition to the jaw-dropping card creations you have been submitting, those of you love to Alter  Ojects will be able to share your creations with us!

I plan to enter this card into the following challenges: (I will add others depending on their theme)

Make It Monday -Anything Goes

Art With No Boundaries -Anything Goes

BunnyZoe's Crafts -Anything Goes
Ooh La La Creations - Ribbon or Twine or Both

Every Day Is A Fashion Show

IMAGE "THE DATE" BY ROBERT JACKSON

Hi, Cardies!
I sure hope you will join us this week over at Jackson's Digital Expressions for our weekly challenge!  We have made a few rule changes including making all of our challenges "Anything Goes".  Our DT will still provide inspiration with sub-themes that we hope will help stimulate your mojo.  This week, the DT is using Peach, Yellow, and Brown as our inspiration colors.

"The Date;" is one of my favorite Jackson Images.   Of course, I only have 200 favorites....so!!!  I am in a stash using mode, so all of the components on this card came out of the laundry hamper that I use to store small portions of card stock and the shoe box that holds bits and pieces of dp that I just know will be perfect on some card some day!

Our challenge ends on Monday, May 7th at 10:30 pm (EDT), so you have plenty of time.   The winner will receive a free Robert Jackson Digi, a $15.00 Ellen Hutson GC, and an invitation to join us as a GDT on an upcoming challenge.

I will be giving this image as a prize here at CARD-D-OLOGY.  Here's all you have to do:  If you are not already a follower here and at Jackson's Digital Expressions, join both sites, enter a project in the challenge and then come back here and leave a comment telling me the #of you link.  There will be multiple winners.  The number of winners depends on the number of comments.

Big Hugz,

SOMETHING FOR HER!

IMAGE BY ANNE B. FENTON - THE OUTLAWZ

Hi, Cardies!
I am so late posting today!  My laptop just died on me last night.  And if that were not bad enough, I am hosting the Greetings Challenge over at The Outlawz.  I did see that one of my Teamies, probably Angela, our team leader, went in and fixed some stuff.  Anyway, I'm glad it was done.  I couldn't right click to add links or anything else.  I am doing this at work (during lunch).  Okay enough whining.

The challenge this week is to create something for Mother's Day or For A Girl.  I have wanted to use this image for a long time and this seemed the perfect opportunity.  The flower is my first handmade flower (well, I made one from crepe paper but that doesn't really count.  This one I made from a brown paper bag.  Cool!  I am cleaning out my stash, so I'm not so sure where all this stuff came from, except the brown paper bag, which came from Kroger!! (LOL)

Thanks for looking, Ppl!!  Big Hugz, Chana

I plan to enter this into the following challenges

Tammy's Scrapin Corner

Make It Monday

Dream Valley Challenges

Kenny K Krafty

Stampin Sisters In Christ

I will probably add to this list.

JACKSON DIGITAL EXPRESSIONS BLOG HOP

Hello and Thanks to everyone participating in the Hop!!  We had a resignation from our team and I have had to jump in and fill that spot in the hop.  So, if you think you have seen this project before, you have.  I did not have time to make a new card,  and our new DT member is not on board yet, so I hope I can be forgiven for not having a new project here!    My Mystery letter is "J". 

The Hop - How to Play

Follow the path to each DT member's blog. Make sure you leave a comment on each and that you FIND the MYSTERY LETTER. Hint: The Mystery Letter is the basis of each project. It could be the color, the shape, (i.e. If the letter assigned is "B", then the DT may have been told to use "Brads or Beads" in the design. After you complete the hop, return to JDE and leave a comment that includes the MYSTERY WORDS. Each DT member will have a random drawing and award a prize to some lucky visitor to their blog, and, we will have A GRAND PRIZE drawing  for those who collect all the letters and correctly Identify the Mystery Words. Here's another Hint: "Like Mary Mary drop the M Mo ary and that's the only rule that is contrary!"

Grand Prize - Ten (10) Copic Sketch Markers
Custom Digi from Robert Jackson
$15.00 Oozak Gift Certificate

Fine Arts By Robert Jackson

Hello, Cardies!  The theme  for the Greeting Challenge at Outlawz this week is "Find A Rainbow"! 

 I know we will see some pretty marvelous creations from our members.  I had two Robert Jackson digis  I thought would be perfect for this theme.  I combined the two images in photoshop and then chalked in a pastel rainbow.  I used a Memory Box Cloud Die to cut out the sentiment.

  This is a very simple card, but for the moment it is the favorite card in my studio!
