~Merry Little Knome



Challenges are just that right- a challenge!  Our newest challenge over at Di's Digi's is Anything But A Card for Winter Holidays!  So I went with a gift tag I made for Christmas.

~Guest Designer Spot at Hearts Quest Celebrations of Love


I am so very excited to have you here with me today!  I am the lucky guest designer over at the Heart's Quest Celebrations of Love Challenge Blog for November!  It's such a fun challenge blog and I love to play along so I was delighted to be a guest designer this month.  
 
Each month you can enter using the theme of Birthdays, Engagements, Weddings, Anniversaries and/or Sympathies and then each month also has a theme for a current or upcoming season/event.  So for November the optional theme is Christmas. I chose to make a Christmas Birthday card!
 
 

 I have had this digi forever from Digi Doodle Studios and my gosh I am not sure why I haven't colored it up beforehand!  It's called Elf Gift Surprise.  They are such fun digis, I am going to have to use them more often!
 
I sure hope you will join in the fun using any of the fab themes available and maybe combine it with the optional one fore November as well!
 
Hope you have a crafty week!

~Mid Challenge Reminder with Di's Digis

Hi everyone!  Thanks for taking the tine to pop over and see my card!  I was away so a bit late getting my post up but my card was on time for our new challenge over at Di's Digis.  I guess it is  more like a mid challenge reminder now, but that works too!   
 
I have used this gorgeous Fairy image and while I don't see this exact one in Di's Etsy store, there are lots of gorgeous fairy images to pick from along with a ton of super fun images for all occasions!  Our challenge is Ribbons and/or Bows and I have made a paper ribbon and bow for my card!
 


 and I tired to take a photo to show the gorgeous shimmer as well.  It's so pretty in real life!
 
 
I sure hope you will join us- there is still just under a week left, so hopefully that's lots of time to play along!  We'd love to see your creations featuring ribbons and/or bows.  Remember, that if you do use an image from Di's Digi Stamps Etsy shop or any CandiBean stamp, you have a chance to win 2 images from Di's Digi Stamps Etsy shop in addition to the random winner prize. 
 
Happy Crafting!

~SSW2 Mid Challenge Reminder

 I can't believe we are at that time of the month for a mid challenge reminder.  My goodness time flies!  Our fab sketches for September are wonderful and there are 3 you can choose from, so I hope you pick 1 and join us!  Heck, pick all 3, that would be fun and we would love to see what you make!
 
Here is my card using sketch #311
 


I have used the adorable image called Jam Jars from All Dressed Up.   I did spray it with some shimmer spray and it looks so pretty in real life but was hard to capture in the photo.  I also used my Minc machine to foil the Taylored Expressions birthday sentiment and there is a greeting on the inside as well but I forgot to grab a photo of that.
 
Like I said- there are 3 different options for sketches this month- 2 for September as well as the throwback sketch so please join us!
 
Happy Crafting friends!
