Digital Tuesday Challenge

This week's Digital Tuesday Challenge is all about using your stash. You know you have stuff laying around just waiting to get used so now is the time to put it to good use....great use.

This week's sponsor is Spesch Stamps. You know the place with the great digi's and also clear stamps. Remember to have a chance to win you must use a digital element on your project.

For my project this week I used the image Bonnie digital stamp from Spesch Stamps. It' still one of my favorite images from our sponsor this week. I paired it up with a couple of printables from The Cutting Cafe. The XoXo background can be found HERE and the Hershey's Kiss Valentine Bottoms can be found HERE.

Hope you play along this week and before I forget, Happy Valentine's Day!!

Red, White and Black Challenge

This week's Digital Tuesday Challenge is a color challenge: RED, WHITE and BLACK.

This week's sponsor is none other than Digital Delights. They have an ever growing collection of digi's, 3D decoupage and more. They have a free and bargain section that is worth checking out too.

For my project I used a soon to be retired image from Pollycraft. I couldn't resist ordering a huge bundle of stamps. To justify my purchase I had to use at least one.

That fabulous long sentiment is from the set February 14th from The Cutting Cafe. Just think of how many sentiments you can use separately from this set. You can't go wrong with this one.

Be sure to head on over to the Digital Tuesday Challenge Blog to see what the DT has come up with this week. That's also where you'll find Mr. Linky. Happy Crafting!!

Punch it Out!!

This week's Digital Tuesday Challenge. This week's sponsor is Spesch Designer Stamps. They have a great variety of digi's and they are offering 3 digi's to this week's winner so be sure to join in.

For my project I used the Hershey Kisses Valentines Bottoms printable set from The Cutting Cafe. It's such a cute and versatile set. If you scroll down to my previous post you'll see how different my previous card looks from this one even thoughI used the same images.

I also used the Heart Shaped Card 2 printable set also available at The Cutting Cafe but instead of using it as a card Template I only used the front portion of the card and layered it onto my own card.

I used a couple of punches for the "Punch it Out" challenge." I used Stampin Up's 3/4 inch circle punch to punch out my sentiment circles and my heart punch by Marth Stewart to cut out the intricate hearts. The layered hearts were cut out by hand and are included in the Heart Shaped Card 2 set from The Cutting Cafe.

Challenges:

Crafty Cardmaker's - No Floral Embellishments

The Pink Elephant - Use Hearts

The Teddy Bo Challenge - Anything Goes

Christmas Time Challenge

This week's Digital Tuesday Challenge is called Christmas Time. Now that Thanksgiving is approaching its time to start thinking about those Christmas cards you'll need to get started on.

The sponsor this week is My Grafico. Feel free to stop by the My Grafico shop to see what is new in store. They have a HUGE variety of digi's to choose from and some freebies too. Remember to use a digital element on your project.

I decided to make a Christmas gift tag for my project. I used one of my favorite Christmas images from Pixie Dust Studio. It's called Santa Surprise. Of course there are some new images that are just as adorable. I only took a quick look because I don't need the temptation right now *LOL*

Digital Tuesday Challenge

This week's Digital Tuesday Challenge is a color challenge.

We are asking you to use a Blue and White color combination for your project. As always you need to incorporate at least one digital element, whether its a sentiment, image, digital paper, etc.

This week's sponsor is Di's Digital Downloads. They have a great selection of images to choose from. For a limited time there is an adorable bear in a pumpkin image that is Free.

For my project this week I used the image called For Me. It can be found in the For the Girls section of the store. Isn't she the cutest? I hope to see your entry in this week's contest.

Digital Tuesday Challenge

Wow! Another week has flown by. What does that mean, well it means its time for a new challenge. This week's Digital Tuesday Challenge is for the people. People images, that is. I know you have one, the hardest part is going to be narrowing it down. Feeling adventurous? Use more than 1 image.

This week's sponsor is Guylou Inimitabilites. If you aren't familiar with their digi's head on over to their site to take a peek. You can also see what some of the DT members have made with them for this week's challenge by going to the challenge blog. They have lots of people images to choose from.

I ended up using a fairy image that I stumbled upon while surfing the net. I believe it was a coloring page originally but that didn't stop me from using it. I hope you are able to join in on this week's challenge.

Here's a close-up of the fairy image:

A little late

It's time for the Digital Tuesday Challenge. With the long holiday I guess I lost track of the date. This week's challenge is called "Fairy Wishes".

The sponsor this week is Mo's Digital Pencil. If you haven't heard of Mo's Digital Pencil then you are really missing out on some fabulous digi's. Her designs are very detailed and artistic.

The prize this week is a very special one. There will be 3 winners this week and each winner will win a gift code worth $5. So if you have been thinking of joining in on the fun this is the week. Three prizes are up for grabs. Need a little motivation? Head on over to Mo's Digital Pencil and take a look at the images to see just what you would choose if you won.

Since my supplies are still packed in totes for awhile longer I was only able to grab the most minimal supplies, hence the simplistic card. Don't worry my embellishments will soon make an appearance.

Digital Tuesday Challenge

Time for another Digital Tuesday Challenge. This week's theme is called "Easter Parade". It's up to you on just how you interpret the theme this week. It can be an Easter image, Easter Colors, Easter Paper, you decide. Just remember to use a digital element to your project.

Our sponsor this week is Pixie Dust Studio and they are giving away 2 free digi's to the winner. Lot's of fun images to choose from, including the one I used below. I thought it would be fun to make an Easter basket using a treat bag and Stampin Up's Top Note Die. It was super easy to make.

The bunny image is from Pixie Dust Studio and is called Some Bunny Loves You. The "Got eggs" sentiment is from the Easter Set 3 from The Cutting Cafe.

For the kids

It's Tuesday! It's Tuesday! OK not quite Friday but we are one day closer.

This week's Digital Tuesday Challenge is all about the kids. All you have to do is make a card for a kid. It's just that easy.

This week's sponsor is My Grafico and they are offering a digi stamp set and20% off a store order to the winner this week. Lots and lots of sets to choose from so be sure to check them out.

For my project this week I chose an adorable Pixie Dust Studio image. It was a great excuse to make a boy themed card. Besides I fell in love with the designer paper....especially since it was in the clearance section. How could I refuse?

I hope you take the Digital Tuesday Challenge this week.

Button Up! Photos Galore!

Happy Happy Tuesday!! Sorry for the delay, my post didn't work as scheduled this morning. We have a great challenge for you this week at the Digital Tuesday Challenge blog and a wonderful sponsor as well.

First let me tell you a little about the challenge. This week's theme is called
"Button up"

Use up some of those buttons you know you have and if you don't have any buttons *gasp* make some. Just remember to use a digital element.

This week's sponsor is The Stamping Boutique and they are offering 5 digital images to the winner of the challenge this week.

If you aren't familiar with this company then you are in a for a real treat. They have some awesome images such as the one shown below:

Digital Image: Bunny Egg

I have a huge wish list that keeps growing and growing. Their images are great for cards and scrapbook pages.

Digital Tuesday Challenge

See previous post for the winner of last week's Digital Tuesday Blog Hop giveaway.

This week Robyn's Fetish is sponsoring the challenge. They are giving away 5 digi images or 4 digi images and 1 paper pack (winners choice).

This week's challenge theme is Welcome Little One. We are asking you to make a baby card. For my card I used 3 digital images: Cute litte baby, sentiment (The Cutting Cafe - Huge baby circle set and the clock background set). To customize the background and to add a little interest to the card, I printed it on kraft cardstock. I may try printing it on pink or light blue cardstock next time.

As you can see, I mixed and matched several different designer papers. It's nice to be able to use up some of my paper scraps- as it is a never ending pile. I hope you join in on the challenge this week. It never hurts to have a baby card around.

Happy Tuesday!! I hope you are ready for a challenge because the Digital Tuesday DT has one for you. This week we are asking you to use those die cuts. Grab those Spellbinders or any other die cut shape and create!! Remember that you must use something digital....an image, sentiment, paper...you pick.

We have a great sponsor again this week. My Grafico is generously giving away 1 free set plus 20% off to this week's winner. They also graciously let the DT play with a fun set called Alice's Tea Party Stamps by Zenware Designs.

For my card this week I used one of the Alice images from the set and paired it up with another digital image. I believe it is from Digital Delights.

Since Valentine's Day was yesterday I thought I'd keep the red going just a little longer. It's hard to see but I used Stampin Ups Top Note Die for my die cut.

Digital Tuesday Challenge

It's Tuesday! Digital Tuesday to be exact. This week's challenge is to use Gray plus one other color. If you've been following me it will come to no surprise that my other color is pink. I wasn't sure if I would be able to pull off this week's challenge. I have to admit that once I started grabbing different pinks it all came together.

This week's sponsor is Limited Runs Stamps and they are offering 3 free digi's to the winner this week. They have a wide variety of digital stamps and do have Freebie Friday so be sure to check them out.

Unfortunately I had my project already made so I didn't have time to use a Limited Runs image this week. The dog image I used is from Tiddly Inks and can be found on their freebie page.

Be sure to check out what the DT made this week. I sure hope you join in on the challenge this week. I'd love to see what your color will be.

Use Your Stash!

This week's Digital Tuesday Challenge should be an easy one. The theme is "Use your stash" I have lots of paper lying around just waiting to get used. Of course regardless of the amount I currently have I always seem to have room for just a little more. So I decided to use up some paper that I've had for ages and to use up some old ribbon too. The cute image is from Karber Digital Images and is called Music Leslie. Isn't she adorable?

This week's sponsor is Dustin Pike. And he is offering 3 digi's as this week's prize. As you probably know, Dustin has digi's galore and if you haven't seen his stuff you need to check it out and quick. You won't be disappointed. I hope you play along this week and put your supplies to good use.

Be sure to use a digi and head on over to the DTC Blog to see what the DT came up with for this challenge. I love the variety this week.

"Make a Gift Set"

This week's Digital Tuesday's Challenge is to create a gift set. I wasn't sure what type of gift set to make so I decided to make a Halloween Scrapbook Kit. I plan on adding to the kit in the next few days and hope to complete at least 2 scrapbook pages of the event.

This week's sponsor for the challenge is Fairy Knoll. They have a variety of digital images and also have a challenge blog as well. Scroll down to see pictures of my project as well as links to the products I used to create it.

You take the cake

This week's Digital Tuesday Challenge is to create a birthday card. The most needed card and the one usually in short supply *LOL*.

Our sponsor this week is Delicious Doodles if you haven't seen any of their images you must go have a look you will not be disappointed that's for sure. The winner will receive four free digi images. I've been definitely struggling with taking decent photos lately. I blame all the rain we've had here in Iowa. Luckily I took this photo a couple of week's ago. I added a small birthday sentiment from The Cutting Cafe as an overlay in Photoshop after the photo was taken. Pretty sneaky, huh? The sentiment is one of many from the Birthday Greetings set. The Little Alice image can be purchased from Bella Digi Studio and comes pre-colored.
