Tag Card

The challenge this week at Delightful Challenges is to USE A TAG ON YOUR CARD.  This is my last card as a designer for Delightful Challenges as I am stepping down from the design team.  I want to thank Wendy Hall for the wonderful opportunity and her lovely friendship.  Thanks also to the rest of the team for their friendship and I plan to continue lurking around their blogs to see what they are up to and I hope they will visit here once in a while.

The sponsor this week is our own Digital Delights by Louby Loo with a $10 gift certificate to the store.

I had fun making this card and tried something different.  The tag is hand cut from a piece of plain blue card stock.  Then I sponged a couple of distress inks randomly over it and spritzed it with water.  The result was this cool mottled look, which really came alive when I embossed it.

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:

Crafty Cardmakers - Embossing
Paper Sundaes - Pop It Up
Crafting for all Seasons - Anything Goes

It's Time to Grill

This week the challenge at Delightful Challenges is to do some MASKING.  It is also new release day at Digital Delights by Louby Loo and the new release is all about summer grilling.  There are a couple of character images along with a cooking set, BBQ accessories, some great sentiments and even a dog just waiting for something to be dropped on the ground.

I had never done any masking but once I saw a tutorial using GIMP, I figured out how to do it in Photoshop and it was quite easy. 

This week our sponsor is Crafty Emma's Store and the prize for the random winner is a £10 gift certificate to her online store.

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:

Treat Bag

The challenge this week at Delightful Challenges is to use flowers.  I probably should not admit this but I had this bag all done and then rechecked the challenge only to discover that I was to use flowers so their placement is not quite what I would have done if I had read the challenge properly to begin with.  Let's just chalk it up to a senior moment.  I also intended to fill the bag with cookies, which is why I chose the image but at the last moment, I decided I needed to have homemade cookies in the house like a hole in the head so I filled it with the mini Smarties boxes that my husband had stashed in the cupboard.  Fortunately, I can't eat chocolate so it is no hardship for me to give them up but he may have something to say about it.

Our sponsor this week is The Cutting Cafe and the bag I made is from a template you will find in her store.  It comes with a variety of cutting options and I just used the .pdf version and hand cut my bag.  The prize for the random winner is any 3 sets from their store.

To Piece or Pierce?

This week the challenge at Delightful Challenges is Paper Piecing or Paper Piercing.

I usually don't pierce my paper unless I am doing embroidery on paper but I borrowed a great template from a friend and made some fancy corners on the mat for the image. I like the effect but I think I would like it better if I had turned the paper over but there is always next time. I wonder how long it will take my friend to miss the template.

Bunnies and Chicks

This week the challenge at Delightful Challenges is to create an EASTER card or other paper crafted project. With Easter a week and a half away, you still have time to play in this challenge and create something to give to your family or friends.

Our generous sponsor this week is The Charm Barn and they will be giving the random winner a $15 gift certificate to their store.

This image is called Peeking Snuffles and Snuffles is meant to be a chocolate bunny.  I can't eat chocolate because it doesn't like me but if I sneak a little bit, I always go for a milk chocolate so my Snuffles is a milk chocolate bunny. 

We have our grandchildren (4 1/2 and 2) for a week starting on Sunday so I have already purchased a bunch of wrapped chocolate eggs to hide around the house so they can have an Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday.  The trick is going to be keeping them from eating all of them or I will be handing sick grandchildren over to their parents.

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:

Die Cut Dreams - Easter
Stamps 'R' Us - Easter
Creative Inspirations - Easter

Ahoy Matey

The challenge this week at Delightful Challenges is all about Sun, Sea and Sand.  I would certainly love to have some of that right now because it is only just starting to warm up here but we are expecting rain and my trip to Cuba is a distant memory.

Today the new release images are available at the Digital Delights by Louby Loo store and they are all about pirates.  I have created a little scene with Presley the Pirate but I feel it isn't finished so I must issue a disclaimer because I haven't done justice to this adorable image.  My hip is acting up again so sitting for long periods isn't happening right now and I could not spend more time with Presley.  Since this is the third time in six months that I have been having issues, the doctor is booking an MRI but it could take another six months for that to happen, so stay tuned.  In the meantime I will take pain killers, try to exercise and carry on.

The sponsor of this week's challenge is Simon Says Stamp and they are generously offering a $20 gift certificate to their store as the prize for the random winner.

The Design Team will be choosing their top three picks with the top pick getting the opportunity to be a Guest Designer.

Pastels & Ribbons

This week our challenge to you at Delightful Challenges is to use pastels and ribbons.  I thought I would get a head start on my Easter cards and I knew this adorable image would be perfect for my 4 1/2 year-old Granddaughter and would lend itself very nicely to the challenge theme.  To make sure I kept the card pastel, I changed the colour of the sentiment.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

This week our challenge to you at Delightful Challenges is to think GREEN, which wasn't hard for me because today is St. Patrick's Day.  While I married into a Ukrainian family and my Father was Polish, my Mother's background was English and Irish so I figure I am good to celebrate today and I am wearing green.  I will not be drinking green beer though :)

Butterflies Galore

I am back from my trip out west to check on my Mother-in-Law.  She celebrated her 89th birthday and while her short-term memory is deteriorating, she is hanging in there physically.  I took my four year-old Granddaughter with me and she was fabulous.  She loved the planes and the hotel, didn't play shy with any of the relatives she was meeting for the first time, which made them very happy and she remembered her manners, which impressed a lot of waitresses and got her a pile of little toys. 

We had at least one "I miss my Mommy" session each day but if I distracted her quickly enough, she was fine.  The ice machine on our floor at the hotel was a great distraction :)  Grandma is still exhausted but I am so glad I did it for both her and her Great Grandma and the memories they will have.

Now on to the challenge this week at Delightful Challenges.  We want you to add butterflies to your paper crafting project.

Our sponsor this week is Cutting Cafe and they are offering three digis of your choice.

Booboo

The challenge this week at Delightful Challenges is to make a card or other paper crafting project using your scraps.  I had made a another card and I did not like it and no matter what I tried to do to it, I could not make it look any better so finally I gave up and made this card featuring Booboo Bear instead .  I think this Booboo turned out better than my first booboo.

Winter Bear

So the weather man has decided to mess with our heads. Yesterday it was actually starting to warm up and then by about 4:00 p.m. it had dropped six degrees. This morning it was -13C when I started out to do my morning kidlet chores and by Thursday it is going to be +13C - go figure.

Our challenge to you this week at Delightful Challenges is to make a card or other paper crafting project featuring animals.  Since we still have a pile of snow, I decided to go with this cute waving bear.  I think he is waving because his toboggan went down the hill without him.

Scotland Fiona

Our challenge to you this week at Delightful Challenges is to use buttons.  Just for fun I thought I would use this cute set called Scotland Fiona for my card..  Wendy, the owner of Digital Delights by Louby Loo is originally from Scotland so I hope she isn't too critical about the artistic license I took with the colouring of the skirt on this little cutie.  I don't think it is intended to be a kilt because of the shape of it. The set included a thistle so instead of using it as a separate element on the card, I created the yellow paper with it.

The challenge this week is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp who is providing a $20 gift certificate to one randomly chosen winner.

There will also be three top picks chosen by the design team and the number one pick will be invited to be a Guest Designer for one week so we hope you are back in the creating mood after the holidays and will join our Buttons challenge.
