Lacy Sunshine - Holiday Fun challenge

Another card I made this weekend so I thought I'd play along with the challenge over at Lacy Sunshine...it's been a long time since I colored in one of her images and I had to pull one out again :)

here is my card for the challenge

Outlawz Progressive Challenge

This month I joined in my first progressive challenge over at Outlawz.  This months sponsor was Simply Betty and she offered up this adorable image.  

Simply Betty - November Fan Page Challenge

This month I thought I'd play along with the fan page challenge for Simply Betty, the only problem was that I got them done a day too late :(  I think they came out pretty good and can't wait till the next one.

Simply Betty Stamps - inspiration

A quick card I made this weekend using Warm Holiday Wishes Rio by Simply Betty Stamps.  I'm enjoying my time creating some cards just for fun and this one was of them :)

Illustrations by Jane

Have you ever heard of Illustrations by Jane?? well its a small store on Etsy that has some fabulous images.  I got the chance to use Demon Succubus and crated this card keeping it to only black & white with the pop of red

After using this one, I'll definitely be using others :)

Karleigh Sue Digital Stamps - Add Ribbon

Over on Facebook, Karleigh Sue Digital Stamps is having a challenge and it's to add Ribbon.  I've had this halloween cutie colored for awhile and finally used her

A few cards for friends

I've been quiet on here but I've haven't forgotten you all.  I have created a few cards using Simply Betty images for some friends that are going through some things right now.  Here are three of those cards

Simply Betty Stamps - Facebook Challenge

I enjoy playing along with the challenges in the Simply Betty Facebook Group and this month we had a new image to play with and Betty challenged us to

1. create pleats (yuk!)
2. use traditional fall colors
3. use the sentiment that came with the image

well here is my attempt for the challenge and like I said earlier I hate pleats LOL

Melonheadz - Halloween challenge

Happy Monday everyone.  Welcome to a new challenge with Melonheadz.  Today's challenge is Halloween.  For my project today I pulled out my vampire set and did a little combining of images :)

I kept the card itself simple as I wanted the focus on the image.  

Just a quick reminder of our rules - you are not required to use an image from MELONHEADZ ETSY SHOP, but if you do, you can enter as many times as you like and your theme will be anything goes.  If you choose not to use an image from Melonheadz, that is fine too, but then you must follow the challenge theme and are allowed 2 entries per person.

Our challenges run just about 2 weeks, so this challenge will end at 11:55pm EDT on September 14.  Random prize winner will get 1 Bundle of Choice from MELONHEADZ ETSY SHOP, what an awesome prize!!

Our challenge this time is to make a PROJECT (card or other papercrafting item) that shows us 2 OR MORE DIES.  You can find all sorts of amazing images over at MELONHEADZ ETSY SHOP which are perfect for this challenge and you will probably find some FREEBIES over on the MELONHEADZ ILLUSTRATIONS BLOG.

Our DT gals have also provided some wonderful samples to get your mojo flowing using images from MELONHEADZ ETSY SHOP .  If you have a chance, I'm sure they'd love a visit to their personal blogs.

make sure you head on over to the blog to join in on the fun and see what the rest of the team has created.
