Scrapbox Challenge #4 -----Circles

Happy weekend to all of you - and welcome to another scrapbox challenge.

This week I chose the theme "circles".

If you're new to the scrapbox challenge: It is for fun only to get me(and maybe you) to use up our scraps. If you'd like me to come see what you made just leave your name and card link with mr. linky.


I made this card for my son's 7th birthday this week. He gets up at 7am every morning to watch Curious George and I love to watch it with him. That monkey is just the cutest! So I decided to search the web for a digital image and found this cute one. It was colored with copics. The sketch is from mojo monday.

All papers and embellishments are from Stampin Up, retired designer papers from my scrap box, real red, yoyo yellow and pacific point card stock. I used my paper crimper on the strip of yellow card stock for a little extra texture. I embellished with ribbon and a chocolate chip button.

That's it for today, hope you'll join me in using up our scraps, and don't forget to come back and link your card if y0u'd like me to come see it.

Have a fabulous day,
Ellie.

Digital Tuesday Challenge #30 - a color challenge

Thursday 10/29/09 11:35pm

I can't believe it's already thursday, I totally forgot to post my card for the last digital tuesday challenge, even though it was already typed up and "drafted" So here it is, better late than never.

Michelle is our hostess this week. She wants to see the colors kraft, orange and one other color of our own choosing in our design. Fun fun fun!

I went with green, because I wanted my dragon to be green, LOL.

The cute dragon image is a freebie from Dustin Pike from quite a while ago before he had a digi stamp store. I colored the image with copics and sponged the edges using creamy caramel ink. Then framed it with green galore card stock. Designer Paper is from Stampin Up. A pretty simple card, perfect for a little boy. The sentiment is from a stampin up set.

Thanks so much for visiting me today, hope you'll find some time to join our challenge this week for a chance to win some digis from my own store, Digital Stamp Oasis.

Halloween Treats

And here are the 21 treats I was working on for my dear son's school class. I kept it pretty simple, just punched out images off designer paper I got at hobby lobby and framed them with a scallop circle. Then added the tag with ribbon. I just didn't have much time this year to do something more involved. I'm sure the kids will love the treats though.


Enjoy your day!!

Scrapbox Challenge #3 - Glitter

Happy Saturday everyone!

And welcome to the 3rd scrapbox challenge. This week I chose * Glitter * as the theme. I love sparkles and add them to just about any card. So that part of the challenge was easy for me and I am so happy to have used another small scrap piece of designer paper.

If you're new to the scrapbox challenge: It is for fun only to get me(and maybe you) to use up our scraps. If you'd like me to come see what you made just leave your name and card link with mr. linky.

This is a super simple card. I received this image (stampin up) from a image swap. Cut it out into a circle and adhered it to a nestabilities scallop circle, and framed it with another circle. Designer Paper is a retired strip of Stampin Up designer paper, and the card base is old olive from SU. Added a little bit of glitter to the image and heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder.

I might end up adding a ribbon somewhere, or maybe a couple of brads. I just might leave it how it is. It looks kind of plain on the screen, but I like it how it looks in real life, so I am not sure yet.

Ok, that's it about the card, hope you'll join me in using our scraps this week. If you'd like me to come see your card just leave your name and card link with mr. linky.

Have a great day,
Ellie.

Digital Tuesday Challenge ***Things with wings.

Hi all and happy tuesday to all of you!
Lorraine has chosen a super fun challenge for us today at Digital Tuesday.

***Things with wings***

I would have had so many images to choose from, but I really needed a baby image because I needed to make a baby card, so I have asked my dear husband to draw me a flying stork with baby wrapped in blanked image.

I used copics to color the image, then adhered it to basic gray card stock and framed it with a rectangle scallop nestabities shape. The white card front was run through my big kick using a cuttlebug embossing folder. I added some gingham ribbon, stamped the sentiment and punched it out with a oval punch. To finish it off I added a matching bashful blue button.

This brand new image is now available for purchase in my etsy store.

Thanks so much for visiting me today, hope you can join us at digital tuesday, we have another brand new sponsor this week, Sassy Studio Designs, who are offering 4 digis to one lucky winner.
