While I Was Away...

I went away for a week and while I was gone, I had limited internet access.

I made several cards for a variety of challenges, but couldn't post them

because all the photos were on my PC at home.

So, here they are:

JLJ Designs is having a  Digi Paper Challenge at The Crafter's Cafe all month. The theme is Anything Goes with any Digi Paper. I used papers from the JLJ Designs "Stacie" Pack and also a JLJ Designs Digi Image "Cookout with Dad".

For our Digi Day Party at the Crafter's Cafe, we started THREE challenges 

and there is still a little time to enter!

The first one is "Black and Tan with a Splash of one other color that represents You". I used "Cannonball Keith" from The Stamping Boutique.

The second Digi Day Challenge is a simple sketch. You can visit the challenge "HERE" to see the sketch! I used Digi Papers from JLJ Designs Pink and Chocolate Pack and "Birthday Bunny" from The Stamping Boutique. The sentiment is also from JLJ Designs.

The third Digi Day Challenge is "Birthday" and although I have already posted this, I wanted to show it off one more time because I am totally in love with this pop-up style card with a stage platform! The image is actually the Stamping Boutique Store! (-: I paper-pieced and popped out the shutters and awnings for a truly 3-D look... so FUN!!

The Month Long Challenge at the Crafter's Cafe is already on "Week 2". Our month-long challenge is "Progressive" because every week, we try to make it progressively more challenging! The theme for Week 1 was "Birthday" and for Week 2 we added a color requirement: the colors of the TSB Store (peach and teal). I used the "Candy Store" image from The Stamping Boutique.

One more image from The Stamping Boutique today: This is Princess Jennifer Latte, Breast Cancer Awareness". The bi-weekly challenge at The Stamping Boutique is a recipe:
4 colors
3 embellies
2 papers and
1 image.

Gorgeous, right? She's brand new and in the TSB shop!!

While you're over at the Stamping Boutique, make sure you check out our Birthday Celebration!! TSB is turning two and we're partying all month. Lots of ways to win great prizes, including TSB images all month!!


So, now it's time for Fresh Brewed Designs news:

The challenge this week is "Show us your Team Spirit", using the colors of your favorite team. Well, there's no question, when the word "Team" comes up, all I think is NY Jets!! The image is "Hot Cuppa Joe" and he is one of my favorite Fresh Brewed images, evah!! I added a football and printed up my PC wallpaper for his background... yes, this is the exact same picture I have on my computer background right now! (-:
Ho Ho Ho... tis the Season!!

The Month Long challenge at Fresh Brewed Designs is "Use Something New". I used my new Copic markers to color up "Angel Cake" and digi papers from JLJ Designs. Ain't she a cutie? She was the Mocha Monday Monthly Freebie. Make sure you're following the Fresh Brewed Blog so you can grab the freebie next month!!

And there's an awesome sale going on right now at the shop! Hurry over and check it out!!!

And, one more!!!

The Month Long Fresh Brewed challenge at the Crafter's Cafe is "Show us Your Style". The only rule is that you use any Fresh Brewed Designs product. I used "A+ Bug" for my bookmark. Cute and simple.
You can enter this challenge as many times as you'd like and while you're there, take a look around The Crafter's Cafe!

We're growing and developing into a pretty great crafty community and we'd LOVE for you to join us!!

So, next week should settle a little and I might be able to actually put up a blog post more than one day a week!

If you stuck around thru all this, THANK YOU!!!

See you soon!!
