The background paper I printed off from an image store and the setiment comes with the digi stamp and cut it by hand.

Another Great Challenge at OSAAT

Time for another challenge at One Stitch At A Time.  This week it 's 'Use a Digi' and to win the top prize of about $20 worth of the digi images used by the DT in challenge #180 you must use a Stitchy Bear image. The are 20 creators with fabulous images to choose from, you will be spoilt for choice.  The runner up prize is $3 to spend in the store. Have a look at the gorgeous cards the DT have created with their images.This must be a new creation after our blog goes live and no back linking.

It was my turn to chose an image for myself and two other DT members and I went for Reece's Scrap Pieces - Sweet Treats. In this gorgeous selection not only do you get six papers to choose from but 4 outline stamps and four clipart designs to choose from. The background paper is from the set as is the clip art. I printed two clipart images and cut them out and just cut the chocolate topping to give it dimension. A self generate sentiment and a big floppy  bow and a couple of card candy and a really quick and simple card was finished.

All Week Over on the OSAAT Blog - Anything Goes

It's that time on a Sunday when we post a new challenge on the OSAAT blog and this week it's a real favourite of everyone, Anything Goes.

For my card I chose Pumpkin House by Gingerloft and you can find it here. This was a terrific image to work with and I loved the theme of Autumn/Fall.

The background paper is from Coosty Creations and is called Red Hat Lady Pumpkin, you can find this fab collection here at Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet. The perfect little sentiment is by Paulette of Create with TLC called Blessed Autumn. Lots of leaves from a die by Cheery Lynn.

A New Challenge Today On The OSAAT blog #180

It's Sunday and time for a new weekly challenge on the OSAAT blog here.  Our theme this week is 'Use a Digi  and the brilliant prize this week is all the Stitchy Bear Digi  Outlet images used by the design team on challenge #178. I did a very quick count and there's more than 10 and you could be entering  our challenges for ages with these gorgeous images.

This week for my DT project I've used Reeces Scrap Pieces - A Perfect Meal , so cute!  I've used one of the papers that are in this great kit and used the digi image and  coloured it with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. For a speedy card use the pre-coloured images that are included and with five different papers, there's an endless combination of cards to make. The flowers I've had for some time but I think the tulips were from Wild Orchid although I can't find them, perhaps someone will kindly let me know.  The sentiment I found online which was perfect for this card..

Birthday Card

It was a lovely friend's birthday this week and here is the card I made for her.

 

I came across the lovely LOTV images that I had tucked away and decided on this particular one. I do love these Memory Box rolled roses and the tiny little leaf tendril too. Little blossoms from Wild Ochard were added to. I love the Tied Together embossing folder too.

I am glad Gill liked it.

Make One For Christmas

It's time for a new challenge at OSAAT and the theme this week is 'Make One for Christmas'

I was lucky enough to be able to choose an image by Alipeeps in the Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet store and she is called Fairy Fun.  I love her and couldn't resist giving her lots of sparkle with a Wink of Stellar pen on her dress, wings and little ballet shoes. 

I've coloured the edge of the card blank with a metallic Promarker and used a sheet of sparkly paper that I've had for a few years. The decoupage Christmas Tree I believe was from Dawn Bibby, something else from my Christmas stash box and some Spellbinders Poinsettia flowers and Flourishes. I couldn't resist with the comment and the look on her face.

To enter the OSAAT challenge, please read the rules carefully on the blog.

Anything Goes with a Twist

It's time for a new challenge on the One Stitch At A Time (OSAAT) Challenge blog, this week's theme is Anything Goes.....with a Twist. The twist is that a Stitchy Bear digi, from any of our creator's images, must be used on your creation. There are winners from our blog challenges every week so there must be hundreds out there and we would love to see them.  There is a super prize this week, lengths of gorgeous ribbon (I know it's gorgeous as it's from my stash), flowers and scrapbooks.  The usual rules apply of no backlinking and a creation from after our challenge was posted.

Here's my card for this week.

The background paper is from Panda Bears Designs and it's called L'il Monsters paper pack,  lots of gorgeous colourways in these designs.  I've teamed it up with the Stitchy Bear's image, Bumblebrella. Isn't she cute! I've coloured her with Flexmarkers and added a Wink of Stella on her wings. I think she's a bit of a red hat bee having red antenna and a red and purple body. 

Just A little Bit Late

Sunday saw a another fab challenge over on the OSAAT blog and I'm a little late in getting my post on here.  This week's theme is 'Back To School'. You can use a Stitchy Bear image as many times as you like but allowed only three entries with a non-Stitchy image.  You must link back to our blog and no backlinking, it must be a new creation after our blog goes live.

Our sponsor this week is Creative Craftworld with three Promarkers for the selected winner using a Stitchy image.  All entries with a non-Stitchy image will be placed in a draw for $3 to spend in the store.

For my card this week I chose the gorgeous image, 'Little Mermaid' by Barb Jensen.

Isn't she gorgeous? The background paper is from a paper pack called Ocean Blue created by Panda Bear Designs. I love these papers. The Little Mermaid was coloured with a mix of blue and green  Promarkers and Flexmarkers  and her tail was highlighted with this new sparkle pen called a Wink of Stella, it's available from Joanna Sheen. My mermaid went back to shoal!  Does anyone out there get my odd sense of humour, I'd love to know.  I would like to enter the following:-

It hurts so much to say goodbye

We had to have our handsome German Shepherd, Ben, put to sleep last Friday and it's been very hard to stop myself looking for him. At least Bill and I were the last people he saw.  He wasn't keen on me being out of his sight for too long and he would come up and have a doze as I was crafting. Sleep on, lovely boy. I miss kissing that lovely face.  See you at Rainbow Bridge, Ben-Ben.
