Doodle Pantry Challenge

Doodle Pantry has some of the cutest digi images I've found.  This month they are giving away an adorable turtle set if you enter.  Just can't pass that up, so here is my entry for Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge #30 (DPDC30).  

Since the digi image is of a vintage slot machine, I am also entering this in the Monday Greetings Card Challenge(GCC1231) at Outlawz.

Origami Bow

The Wednesday Sketch Challenge at Outlawz(SC010213)  made me think of the Origami Bow I like to make to really make a card special.  And I always like using the CTMH Silhouette paper.  I hope they bring it out of retirement before I run out.

(I wish the black satin ribbon down the center showed up a little better. )

Brrrrrrr!

It's been pretty chilly here in Pennsylvania.  Even had a dusting of snow overnight.  So I decided to get my CTMH furry friends stamps out to make this Simple card using a color combination from Paper Pal Arts.  

 



That way I can enter it in both the Paper Pal Arts Challenge(PPA150)
 
and also the Freshly Made Sketches #67 Challenge.

Sunday CAS card

Operation Write Home is currently accepting cards for St. Patrick's Day.  I can't believe I do not have one stamp with a shamrock on it!  Although I did find these CTMH stamps that I've never used.  My card will serve double duty, a card for the Troops and an entry for Outlawz Sunday CAS Challenge (CAS010612).

Dark Pink, Kiwi and Black????

Inkspirational is currently having a color challenge.  

On Saturdays The Outlawz have a Paper a la Mode Anything Goes Challenge.  

And here is the card I am entering in both:

Valentine's Day Card

As I may have mentioned before, I just joined the Outlawz CFC Challenge Group.  They have fabulous free digis with which to work.  This adorable cupcake image is by Sandi Huggett.  I love all the little hearts on the icing.  I printed the image twice, once in white and once in pink so I could paper piece the cupcake paper, icing and hearts together.  Then I decided I wanted the hearts dark red like those cinnamon hearts that almost break your teeth but are so yummy.  So I used a marker and covered them in CTMH liquid glass to give them the shiny sheen.  I also wanted to try the paper piecing background I had seen in the latest issue of CardMaker.   After getting that all glued together I embossed it with a heart design which, unfortunately, is hard to see in the photo.  So now that I got my paper fix for the day and my craft area is all tidied up, I'll finish taking down the Christmas tree.  Not as much fun as playing with paper but...........

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Digi Haven: Grand Re-Opening and first 2013 Challenge
Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge Blog - Use your favorite embellishments
Outlaw CFC Challenge - CFC 123012

Snow People

There are still a few snow people loitering in neighbors' yards from our snow on Saturday.  It sure looks like we might get some more today, but the weathermen say no worries.  

I made this easel card yesterday to enter the Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge - Snow People. (TT010313)
I had just received this digi image by Anne Fenton and it fit the 'Twist' just perfectly.
