September Progressive Challenges

Today I am sharing the cards I made for two progressive challenges.  Each month you play, using their digi, you receive a new digi for the following month. 

My first 2 cards are for the September DOTM Challenge at Imagine That!.  The Meerkat digis are so cute I just couldn't make meerly one card! 


I am also entering this second card in the Something, Anything, Everything Challenge #93 at Double Trouble. I've included a pumpkin as my harvest element and am also entering the Dies R Us Challenge #177.  The scalloped circle dies are from Spellbinders, the brown circle die is from Sizzix, and the foliage dies are from Impression Obsession.


***********


The second progressive challenge in which I always like to participate is at The Outlawz.  This month Hettie Clare Art has gifted us with a really cute image called The Little Ballerina.

 Here is my submission for the September Progressive Challenge:

 


Candlewick Ovals by Spellbinders frame the digi image, which is partially colored and also paper pieced.  I know my niece will love receiving this for her birthday.


Thanks so much for visiting!

Super 4 year old Birthday

This card was all but finished when the mailman made his rounds today.  Guess I'll be making a stop at the post office, in hopes that it will make it to its destination on time.





This is a Double Z Fold card.  

I followed a tutorial by Sandi MacIver here.  Thank you, Sandi! 

The Super Heroes were fussy cut from a sheet of scrapbook paper.  The sentiments were computer generated.

The number 4 was a made using a Recollections die.

Send A Smile 4 Kids September Challenge

 The theme for the September Challenge at
