PIP Challenge #2345

 Time for another challenge over at Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges.  Todays challenge is being sponsored by Polkadoodles.  


It is always hard for me to decide which adorable digital image to use for my card when looking at all the wonderful stamps on Polkadoodles website.  Since I need to be working on Christmas cards I have decided that I would use the image "Noel Christmas Mouse".  

I printed off the image on my printer and then colored it with my copic markers.  Such a sweet image.  I added some Nuvo Glitter Drops on the hat for some glitter.  The designer paper I used was Santa's Workshop by Carta Bella.  The Merry Christmas sentiment is from Cool Christmas Greetings by My Favorite Things.  I added a few enamel dots on to the card.

Be sure and check out what the other design team members did for the challenge this week.

PIP Challenge #2343

 This week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies challenges, the sponsor is Lawn Fawn.  



Since this is the fifth Monday of the month there is a special challenge.  The theme is the Color Peach.

I pulled out some of my fun Lawn Fawn products and got to work creating a card for the challenge this week.
I went through all my scraps of Peach colored papers and came up with this fun card.  I used the following Lawn Fawn products
  
Thanks to Lawn Fawn for being our sponsor this week.  Their stamps are so darn cute.  I see more on their website that I must have.  Be sure and check out the other creations made by the design team at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.

Challenge Your Stash

 Suzy is our hostess this month for Challenge Your Stash group on Splitcoaststampers.  When I saw Suzy asked us to use a moon somewhere in my card.  When I saw that challenge, I thought oh I have the perfect stamp for this challenge.

This stamp was from Stamp It Crazy.  I hope this card puts a smile on your face.  It is intended as a funny joke.  Hope no one is offended by my card.  I added a few cut outs on my card.

Enjoy and have a laugh on me.

PIP Challenge #2341

 Time again for another challenge over at Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenges.  Our design team was allowed to use any stamp for this particular challenge because it is being sponsored by PIP Challenges. 



 The lucky winner of this weeks challenge will win a $10 gift card to Sweet N Sassy stamps.  

For my card today I decided to use the stamp set "In Praise of Sunflowers" by Power Poppy.  If you click the link of the name of the stamp, you will see that the image is currently free at Power Poppy.

I live in Kansas and Sunflowers are our State Flower.  I have always loved the cheerful color of these flowers.  I had fun coloring them with my copic markers.  I added a little trim to the card and liked the way it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you check out all the other design team members cards on PIP Challenges site.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Creative Crew

 The 15th of the month sure came quickly for me.  Time just seems to fly by.  Our challenge today for our Creative Crew group was to use something you love.

I love October because of the beautiful fall leaves and a chill in the area.  Time for fall festivals and fall crops.  My sister does a crop at the end of the month called spooktakular.  It is alot of fun for all that come.  I have always loved making treat boxes or bags for this event or any other event I attend.  They are so much fun to make.  

In the center you will see the treat bag I have made filled with some candy.  I had these cellophane bags in my stash and went to my scrap bag of halloween papers and just used up what I had.  The images are from Pretty Pink Posh called Halloween Signs.  I love Pretty Pink Posh because their stamps are just adorable and so nice to stamp with.  I stamped the images out and started coloring them with my copic markers.  I then used the matching dies to cut them out.  I then just threw some scraps together and came up with this cute little treat bag.

You can see the rest of the team's creations by clicking on their link below.

PIP Challenge #2339

 This week's challenge for Pammie's Inky Pinkies challenges is being sponsored by Jan's Digi Stamps.  

For my card this week I was able to use the digital image called "Pumpkin Blessings".  I printed off the image on my printer and then decided how I wanted to color the image.
I had a 6 x 6 pad of the designer paper from Carta Bella called Welcome Autumn.  What I liked about this paper was that there were different colors of pumpkins so I decided to incorporate that into my design for my card.  The sentiment is also from that stamp set.

I hope you check out Jan's Digi stamps because they are gorgeous.  Her halloween images are on sale right now so grab some while you can.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges.

Create from Your Stash

 Today is the day we are posting our creations for the Create From Your Stash group on Splitcoaststampers.  Maggie is our hostess this month and her challenge was to make a clean and simple card.  I thought this would be an easy challenge but of course I waited until the last minute to make my card.  I got my supplies out this morning and it is definitely clean and simple.

I love foxes and have had the Hero Arts Fall Fox Bundle set just sitting on my desk of stamps I want to use.  I stamped the fox in the corner with the leaves.  I then stamped the image on peel away tape also and put it over the fox so I could use my stencil brush around the outside of the fox.  I use Distress Ink in China Blue.  I then colored the image with my copic markers.  So easy and fun.

Thanks Maggie for a great challenge.
