Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #571

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for

Here's the sketch for this week and my card.

The circles are Sizzix and LaLaLand Die Cuts. Black glitter paper spiders and vellum spider web are Cricut cuts on the CTMH Artiste cartridge. Stamped sentiment is also CTMH.

I hope you'll play along at

Send A Smile 4 Kids September Challenge & Catch the Bug Anything Goes Challenge

The theme for the September Challenge at

Send a Smile 4 Kids

is Cute Fall or Halloween Cards 4 Kids

or Anything Goes 4 Kids.

It just so happens that I was asked to be a guest this month at

Catch the Bug Challenge,

which means this post is doing double duty.

I love using Bugaboo digi images for the kid friendly cards I send to my SAS4K volunteer. They are so fun and well received by the children who are patients in children's hospitals. In fact, I think everyone smiles when they see these cute digis.

This image is called Bobblehead Witch Fly By.

The witch was colored with markers. I used a punch on the corners. The orange enamel dots were originally light pink, but an orange marker fixed that.

It would be great if you joined the fun at the

Send A Smile 4 Kids September Challenge

and

Catch the Bug Saturday Challenge.

You could use the same card for both!

Challenges I am entering:

Stinkin' Inkers Challenge - Times 3 (3 enamel dots); Cute Card Thursday Challenge #650 - AG; Cardz 4 Galz Challenge #129 - Just Saying Hello

Triple cube card

It may look difficult, but is really very easy. The directions were in this week's SCS Weekly Inkling. Would you believe there are only 4 scores? The question I always have is - how will the recipient know how to unfold the card so that it will look like this? My DH thinks I should enclose a picture.

(The sentiment stamp is by CTMH)

Not bad for my first try.

I made it simple intending to send it to my 10 year old nephew, at least I think he's 10, maybe he's only 9. Whatever. Now my brain is thinking of how I could make this style card and really dress it up with die cuts, flowers, ribbons, bling.....

Challenges:

Creative Fingers Challenge #192 - AG; Try It On Tuesday Challenge - Neat and Tidy; Unicorn Challenge #58 - For a child; Scor-Pal More Than One Score Challenge #74 - School/Storage or AG; Crafting Happiness Challenge #64 - AG

Double Trouble Challenge #65

This is my second entry for DTC #65. Although the main challenge theme is Something, Anything and Everything, Twisted Sister has requested a phone on the cards. It is an optional twist, which I didn't include on my first card. Then I checked my stamps and my digis and this is the closest thing I could find, a digi from Gerde Steiner with a phone, of sorts.

Then when I printed the little guy, my printer left some ink spots on the paper. I had no choice but to make a few more. Of course, I made a little mask for over the mouse so he didn't get all spotted, too. I colored him with pencils and markers.

Ever make a tin can telephone? My next door neighbor and I had a set. The tough part was getting the "phones" between her second floor bedroom and my second floor bedroom. And then they didn't work anyway.

This simple card is being entered at Double Trouble Challenge #65 and the Anything Goes September Challenge #42 at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies.
