CAS Challenge at Jackson's Digital Expressions

Hi, Everyone!  I have a card for the new CAS Challenge at JDE using patterned paper.  I've used Robert's image Finishing Touch.  I did my best to create a bit of shadow on the snowman - how do you think I did?

The cardstock and the two DPs are from my stash. I inked the edges of the DP and my image in Memento Danube Blue ink.  I used watercolor pencils for the image. The sentiment is from Close to My Heart - Holiday Trinkets (retired, I think).  I stamped the sentiment in my new ink purchase - Pearlescent Sky Blue by Tsukineko.  (Last weekend I used a 50% coupon from Michaels.)

As always, go to the site to see what the rest of the DT has created and to see who won last week's challenge. Our sponsor is Bugaboo.

I'm entering my card in the following challenges:  Cards by Lady Anne (Anything Goes), Crafty Bloggers Network (Christmas Anything Goes), The Paper Girls (Christmas or Winter) and Addicted to CAS (code word SNOW).

By the way, I hope everyone has a nice and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Sketch Challenge at Jackson's Digital Expressions

We have a wonderful Sketch Challenge at JDE this week.  I used the sketch to create a Halloween card using Robert's Pumkin Patch image.  I cut out the image after coloring it and adding a bit of glitter glue. It's hard to see, but my moon is cut out of sparkly cardstock.  All papers are from my stash.  I decided to put a spider web across the bottom instead of using a fence.  The moon and spider web are cuts from my Cricut. My sentiment is a sticker from my stash.  I like that Halloween isn't just black and orange any more. I love the green and purple. As you might have guessed, my grandson is the intended recipient. 

For some reason, I'm unable to load the sketch, but you can see it at JDE along with what the rest of the DT has made with Robert's images and images from our sponsors Bugaboo Stamps and Guylou's. Have fun looking at all the cool projects!  Link up your entry - one lucky participant will win a special "Thriller" prize!

I'm entering some challenges:  Ink It Pink Challenge #15 (Fall or Halloween) and PaperPretties (Halloween).

Pink or Breast Cancer Awareness at JDE

Hi, there!  I've been missing due to computer problems which I believe are solved now.  I'm back just in time for the new challenge at Jackson's Digital Expressions in honor of Breast Cancer Month (October).  The Inks and Such Team has created some beautiful projects.  Please click on the link to see them.

Chana, the DT leader, along with a few other DT members, will donate $0.25 for breast cancer research for every entry of the challenge this week.  And, if you enter at JDE and at Mema's Crafts, you'll be contributing to breast cancer research twice.  Lesia, Mema's owner and JDE DT member, will donate $10.00 for every 40 entries in her monthly challenge.  How generous!

Your participation will help defeat this disease. Thanks in advance for joining in the fight against breast cancer.

Here's my card:

Everything is from my stash.  I did random stamping on white cardstock to create the card base.  Then I used pink cardstock behind my ribbon (added a small flower to the ribbon) and stamped my sentiment on pink DP. I'm sending this card to my sister-in-law next month.  She's a breast cancer survivor.

I'm entering this card in Mema's challenge and Make it Monday.

CAS at Jackson's Digital Expressions

Happy Tuesday! We have the CAS Team on display today at JDE using Robert's images and images from our sponsor, Bugaboo.  Be sure to visit the site to see what the DT has made. You will love what you see!  My first card uses Robert's Back to School image. I'll send this to my grandson!

Supplies:  Cardstock: Marcos Paper; die cut: gift from a friend; Stamp: Hero Arts Anytime Messages; Ink: CTMH Black Dye Ink; Sharpies

I also made this card using Bugaboo's Stick Horse image - he's so cute!

Supplies:  Cardstock: Marcos Paper; DP: CTMH, Recollections; Stamps: CTMH Celebrate the Everyday; Buttons: My stash; Sharpies.

I always smile when I read about how some folks struggle with making a Clean and Simple card - that's all I ever make.  Not that mine are great examples of the CAS style - I simply don't know how to make any other kind!!

I will enter my cards in a few challenges as soon as I have time.  Enjoy your day!
