Through The Craftroom Door Challenge

Hi, Crafty Peeps!

  Sandi's Samples is our sponsor this week  over at Through The Craft Room Door Challenge.  
I decided to work with her cute little gum ball machine digi!  

I really wanted to color the machine red, but I am pretty maxed out on pink and red right now, so I went with yellow!  Please join us and if you are not a current subscriber to the Through The Craft Room Door Magazine, now is the perfect time to sign up.  You will have access to interesting tutorials, fun projects and over 100 free digital images!

Don't you just love this cute little Gum Ball Machine Digi?  Every time I go into Big Lots, I threaten to buy one and DH just drags me away.  When I was coloring the hearts, I was thinking about those little candy hearts that come in a box.  I really couldn't remember the colors.

This wonderful designer paper comes from the Echo Park 6"x 6" Happy Days Collection.

 I was delighted to have a chance to use my bottle cap.  
It is one of those items that I purchased more of than I could possibly ever use.

Tried to keep the inside simple but tied back to the front!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you to see your projects in our challenge!

I really wanted to make two cards for the Creative Freebies Challenge at The Outlawz, but time constraints made that impossible, so I decided to combine both images on one card.  I was really pleased with the result!  I printed Sandi's wonderful butterfly onto Vellum and then colored on the reverse side.  The designer paper is from Memory Box (I am a BIG fan of this company.) 

If you love working with Digis, want to meet some of the nicest Peeps on the planet, and are interested in getting free fantastic Digis twice a month, then you should head over to the Outlawz and join the Creative Freebies Challenge Group.

Thanks for PEEPING!

Artist's Trading Cards

This is my DT Card for The Book Month Challenge at Outlawz.  It is inspired by Maya Anegelou's "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings!  It is also my entry at Unstampabelles.  It is nice to see more sites that don't require stamping. So glad I found these ladies!  When you enter their challenges, just remember they are on Australian time!

 I really enjoy making these little cards!  I hope to create some ATCs using some of my old metal stencils, I think I might be able to produce a pretty cool image.  I purchased a set of Artist Cards, and I used one of  those for my bird cage ATC.  I put the cards away and could not find them today, but I realized I had a ton of medium weight chipboard so I used that for the next two ATCs.  For those of you not familiar with Artists Trading Cards, they are an off shoot of Artists Cards which many famous artist use to make and sell for extroadinary amounts of money.  Artist Trading Cards are not intended to be sold.  The only rule is that the card must be 2 1/2" x 3 1/2".  You can paint them, etch, stencil, whatever you desire.  Hope you enjoy looking!  C-YA!

These ATCs were created for the Creative Freebies Challenge at The Outlawz.  The digis were created by my Teammies, Sandi Huggett (Angel) and Anne E. Fenton (Cupcakes).  This week Anne and Sandi were very generous and gave us four wonderful Digis for our creations.  I was only able to complete projects using these two.  If you are just starting to use digital images/stamps, the CFC Challenge at The Outlawz might be a good place for you to start.  Twice a month, you will receive two-four free digis and it is only necessary to use one in a project in order to get the next set of free images.
While you are at The Outlawz, check out the other seven great weekly challenges: CAS, Greetings, Sketch, Copics, Twisted Thursday, Color, Paper Ala Mode.

Supplies:  Art Parts, 7 gypsies ATC Tray Kit, Prima Lace, Ribbon, Pearls and Copics.
