DigiHaven-Christmas in July

Hi everyone! It's Stampede Week here in Calgary so it is a madhouse in this city for the next 10 days! We were gone early this morning for the first of our many pancake breakfasts this week! :)

Today is a brand new challenge over at the DigiHaven blog and our challenge for you this week is Christmas in July...here are your details for this week's challenge:

July 6, 2012 – Christmas in July Digi Challenge.  Use any Free Christmas or Winter digital  image you wish. The image can be a forever freebie, limited time freebie or freebie of the month as long as it’s free for the duration of this challenge.  Please be sure to link back to the original artist or website on your blog.  This Challenge ends on Thursday and the winners will be posted on Sunday.

Here is what I have for you this week...I really love how this turned out!



The digital image that I used can be found here.

All the paper and ribbon are just from my stash.  I cut the image out using my spellbinders and colored with Copics.  I then outlined it with some of my Tim Holtz Distress ink in Stormy Sky and Weathered Wood.  I have a little snowflake sizzix that I used as well and then some little pearls.  The sentiment is from an old stamp set that I have that I don't even know who it is by anymore although I think it might be Hot off the Press.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to join this week's challenge and check out the awesome DT inspiration we have for you this week on our blog~!

Entered into the following challenges:

DSR Rubber Stamps: Christmas Cards

Papertake Weekly: Anything Goes

    Beautiful creation Tammy! You've captured the colors and feel of winter of this great image with the snowflakes, pearls and lace. Couldn't be more perfect!

    Peace & Luv,
    Jeannie

Vintage Tag for St. Pattys (Challenge Masters DT)

Image
Hey there...so my last tag challenge as the Tag Diva for Challenge Masters, is to create a green tag..it can be any subject as long as it is mainly green...you can check out all the deets here by the way... So this is the one I created. I colored my tag using Pine Needles, Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint Distress Inks with a little Vintage Photo thrown in. I had printed off a vintage pic from the internet because I really don't have a lot of St. Patrick's Day images. I used the vintage photo on it as well and then the rest of the tag was just made using some bits and bobs from my stash. The DP is some BG I've been using for other projects..The flower I inked up a bit to blend it with the tag and same with the lacy ribbon on the bottom (it was originally beige). I hope you like it and stop over and join our challenges this week as well! This is entered into the following challenges: Aly's Sunday Challenge : Anything Goes Corrosive Challenge: Going Green ...

St. Patrick's Day

Image
It's all about the green this week at Creative Corner Challenges .  It's my month to host and with St. Patrick's Day coming up my challenge this week is Go Green.  You have to have something green on your project.  An easy challenge to be sure, so I hope many people sign up.  I'm even offering a little prize this week. Here's my card for this week's challenge.   Surprisingly, with St. Pat's being one of my favorite holidays (purely for the green factor) I don't have a lot of St. Pat's stuff.  I had green paper but nothing to go with it.  I printed off this image from Bugaboo Stamps as it was offered as a freebie although now I think it is for purchase in the store, thank goodness and the shamrock i cut out using my Cricut.  This is a really simple and flat card because it's doing double duty.  Not only is it for this challenge but I need to mail it out for a St. Patrick's day swap on Swap-bot.com.  The paper was all from my stash ...

A Fairy Hello

Hello! I hope that you moms out there had a lovely Mother's Day yesterday.  There is nothing I am more proud of than being a mom to my little Riley.  I can't believe he'll be 2 in July!  Time does fly. Today is a new challenge on the Lollipop Crafts blog. We are being sponsored by Soft Pencil this week and here is the link to their site and you can check out all the great digital images & all that Elizabeth has to offer.  Our challenge this week is a fancy folds one...so we'd like to see creations with more than one fold on them.  Here is mine for this week. The image is from SoftPencil's Tinytwinies which the DT got to play with.  So cute. This is the Charming Flowers image. How adorable is this!  I colored her using my Copics. I used some Sarah Hurley digital papers for this card. She has some great stuff so make sure you check the link! The main butterfly was cut using a scrap piece from the card and then the other accent butterflies ...
