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!

I decided to use this sketch to make my brother in law a birthday card.

That handsome piranha is a digital image from Whimsy Stamps.  The die cut is from Shady Lane Impressions.  And the circle and oval shapes were cut using the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge.

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 

Send a Smile 4 Kids 

is Cute Fall or Halloween Cards

or Anything Goes 4 Kids.

 

How cute is this?

 

The image is from an old wooden Penny Black stamp that I recently discovered in my stash.  It is colored with both markers and watercolor.  Papers and sentiment are from CTMH.
 

 

 It would be great if you joined the fun at the

Send A Smile 4 Kids 

September Challenge.

(Cards only, please. And they need not be donated.)

 

Please take some time and visit the fabulous blogs of my teammates.  They work so hard and are very creative!
