A CHOICE OF COLORS - JACKSON'S DIGITAL EXPRESSIONS

Hi, this is DT Image Release Week over at Jackson's Digital Expressions.  Each month, Robert creates images exclusively for the design team.  These images are released to the general public after the DT has had an opportunity to create with them for the first challenge of the month.  This week, three of the new images are featured in our challenge.  You have to vist the blog to see what Roz did with Robert's new "Purse". Trust me, it is gorgeous!

Hop over to Jackson's Digital Expressions and join in the Challenge. This week, the challenge is being hosted by The Color Challenge Team and they have chosen some wonderful colors to work with.  As always, the Challenge is "Anything Goes" so you don't have to use the inspiration colors  Also, make sure you check out Robert's Site Fine Arts By Robert Jackson.  He releases new images bi-weekly, so there are a lot of great new images to choose from.

I am still working on visiting all of my followers, so, if I have not been to your blog yet, hold on, I'm comin'.
Hugz,
Chana

I Feel Ya, Dogg! - Outlawz Greetings Challenge

Image By Robert Jackson

Hello, Cardies!  Well It's Monday and Mondays are always Outlawz Challenges and Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenges.  This week, I can use one card for both challenges.  Over at the Outlawz, our challenge was to create a greeting card using an animal print, image, or ribbon; I used all three!  I absolutely adore this "Bow Wow" image by Robert Jackson; he is just too cute!  Speaking of cute, my grandson, Joshua, was creating along with Bubbie and I promised him I would feature his card on my blog so, here is Joshua's card using "Bow Wow".  I think he is doing great learning to use his Copic Ciao.

I plan to enter my creation into the following challenges:

Tammy's Scrapin Corner-Anything Goes

Make It Monday-Always Anything Goes

The Squirrel and The Fox-Anything Goes

ATC.s With Attitude- Antything Goes

Tammy's Scrapin' Corner - Show Me Your Distress Challenge

DT CARD - OUTLAWZ GREETINGS CHALLENGE

Hello, Cardies!  This week at The Outlawz, our Greetings challenge was "Strawberry Pickens" and our cards had to include Strawberries as an element.   I've spent sometime researching various ways to use Distress Inks, and I used a few of them on this card.  The background image was sprayed on with a mist made with a Distress Reinker and Pearl Ex.  The flower was colored with a combination of Distress Ink, Acrylic Paint, and Homemade Glimmer Mist.  The tag is also colored with Distress Ink, Versa Ink, and Clear Embossing powder.  There is a little drip at the bottom edge of my background, but that is just a CHARACTOR FLAW! (LOL)

Tammy's Scrapin' Corner has a great challenge this week, " Show us Your Distress"  I plan to enter this card there and also at Make It Monday.  If you have not checked out Tammy and Marc's blog, you really owe it to yourself to do so.  They have a great team of designers and wonderful sponsors.  This week the sponsor is BugaBoo Stamps.

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

PEEK- A- BOO - Jackson's Digital Expressions

Peek -A-Boo  by Robert Jackson

Hello, Cardies!   Don't you just love this image by Robert Jackson?  When I saw it, I immediately had memories of my children and grandchildren and the joy they seemed to get from looking at the world "upside down" as they put it!  I think what makes Robert's images so appealing is his ability to capture memories on paper.  All of our challenges at Jackson's Digital Expressions are now "Anything Goes," so pay us a visit and enter your latest project.  We have no limitation on the number of concurrent entries into other challenges, you can enter three projects into our challenge and, as long as your card was made this week (our week starts on Sunday), it is eligble for our challenges.

Next week, our Altered Art Team is hosting the challenge and I think it will be fun.  I'm giving a heads up to those of you who like to do something OTHER THAN A CARD!  Next week is your opportunity!

Thanks for stopping by and  if you have time, stop by and drop a card in the challenge over at Tammy's Scrapin Corner!

Big Hugz,

I PLAN TO SUBMIT TO THE FOLLOWING CHALLENGE BLOGS

Art With No Boundaries 

They are doing something really cool, which I thought about for Jackson's Digital Expressions but was unsure of how to execute, but they are having two challenges at the same time.  I entered both.  One is their usual "Anything Goes" and the other challenge "Fit To Be Tied"  Must have a "Tied Element" but you cannot use ribbon or lace or seam binding.  My button is tied with Twine.

HINDSIGHT - OUTLAWZ GREETINGS CHALLENGE

Sentiment by Unity Stamps

Hi, Cardies!  I actually made this card for the Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog.  Our DT challenge over there was handmde flowers and butterflies.  I thought it was so cool to use a punch to create my butterflies.  But when I didn't get the "Anything Goes" card I was working on for my Outlawz DT card, I decided to use this one instead.  It is very simple, but it is one of my favorites.  Hope you like it!
Some Reminders:

Make sure you check out Tammy's Scrapin Corner she has a wonderful challenge that starts each Monday.  She also has some new designers, you will want to check them out.

Jackson's Digital Expressions will have a new "Anything Goes Challenge" starting on Tuesday.  The challenge is being hosted by the Inks and Such Team, so it will be a great opportunity to show of your copic, prisma, chalk, and all other coloring skills.  Maybe we have some crayon masters out there...we would love to see it.

The Outlawz has too many prizes for me to mention here, but we would love to have you drop by and spend a little time at the Ranch.  We have 8, count em, 8 challenges, so I know you will find one that works for you.

Thanks for stopping by!
