Digi's with Attitude! Challenge #30

We are starting Challenge #30 at the Digi's with Attitude! Challenge Blog today!

Happy Father's Day:

show us your Dad's Day Cards!

You can use any masculine image and do not have to make a card for just Dad. We would love to see any Manly Project!

It is not required you use a Digi's With Attitude! image however, there's always a FREEBIE at the DWA shop!

Our sponsors this week are Digi's with Attitude! and Stitchy Bear Stamps. Winners (one for every 25 entries) will receive A $10 Digi's With Attitude Gift Certificate* and one randomly selected winner will receive a $10 Gift Certificate for the Stitchy Bear Stamps Shop.

For my card, I used Napoleon, which you can get at the Digi's with Attitude! Store by clicking HERE! The papers are from JLJ Designs Dad's Day Digi Paper Pack. Where else can you get 12 sheets of color-coordinated papers that you can print as many times as you would like for only $4.00? The more I play with Digi Papers, the more I LOVE them!!

I actually sewed on this card, too! Can  you believe it? I have a sewing machine and I DO know how to use it, but it's not something I do on a regular basis... I have a counted cross stitch project I was planning to give my parents for their 25th anniversary. Last October was their 40th!! So, I guess I'm not much of a "stitcher"! Every once in a while, I'll pull it out and blow the dust off the box, but at this point, I'm wondering if it's a little hopeless!

SO! If you're a regular follower of my blog, you might remember that I mentioned a special project I had made for Heather, at Fresh Brewed Designs, using her newest release "Daisy's Recital". You can read all about it here if you missed it!

Well, I told you that I was holding off posting pictures of my "other" project until I was sure the Mail-person had delivered it.

I am happy to announce that it has arrived safely into the hands of it's new owner!

So now I can show you!

It is impossibly difficult to take a good picture of etched glass.

I tried different background colors, different lighting set-ups, different things inside and behind the glass... no matter what I tried, this is the best shot I could get of the curved glass vase!

I made this for Heather's DD, who is having her first dance recital this weekend! She has been working really hard and I can't wait to see the pictures!

Challenge #28

Kids Digi Day Challenge

We want to see the Kids play along!

My boys were just not "in the mood" to do anything crafty

and decided, since the sun is shining, that it's much more fun

to fry bugs with a magnifying glass!

What can I say? They're BOYS!  {{sigh}}

So, I made a project that will make the kids laugh!

I know my guys loved it!

I used the new Tot with 'Tude, Nosey Abby

Some of the girls on the Design Team came up with

some really terrific sentiments for this image.

Not to be outdone, I went a little over-the-top with this one.

But it IS funny!!

To me, it almost sounds Latin...

like you can hear the Catholic Priest saying:

"Pickem Lickem Rollem Flickem

In Nomine Patre et Fille et Spiritu Sancti"

AMEN!!

 I can't wait to see how many challenges I can enter with this one! (-:

I really hope I can convince my boys to play this weekend

in the craft area with me!

And if you have kids, I hope you'll take a few minutes to snap some pictures of their creations and post them in this weeks' challenge!

It is not required you use a Digi's With Attitude! image however, 

we always love to see what you do with our digis *grin*

Check out the store to see what this month's freebie is!!

We can't wait to see if YOU can make us laugh!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! Make Us Laugh!

FIRST OF ALL, before I do ANYTHING else today I have to start by saying:

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, JOE!!

Today is our 11th Anniversary!!

Seems like the past eleven years have FLOWN by and I love being married today as much as I did 11 years ago!

I really believe that the secret to a great marriage is to keep 

a sense of humor no matter what!

So far, so good!

Now, on to the business of the day:

I know when you saw the inside of this card, you laughed!


You know you did!!

Exciting News from Digis with Attitude!

There's a lot going on this week at Digi's With Attitude!
I'll start with the new challenge that starts today!


It's all about EASTER!


The image I used for my project this week is called "Bunny 'Tween" and  you can grab her at the new Digi's With Attitude Store!


WHAT!?!? The new store, you say?


Why, yes, I did... there is a BRAND NEW Digi's With Attitude store and it is a DREAM to navigate! Everything is so organized and pretty!


And if you navigate your way over to the Guest Book and leave a little love, you'll be entered to WIN a $10 Digi's with Attitude Gift Certificate!


But, back to "Bunny 'Tween"... y'know sometimes you see an image and you think "What in the world am I going to do with this?"... well, that's how I felt about "Bunny"... the daffodil in the pot and the basket of eggs really threw me... then I found the PERFECT digi paper from Jen at JLJ Designs!
It's in her "Hoppy Spring" pack and just seeing the paper inspired my entire project!! It's kinda tough to make out in this photo, but the paper on the side panels is actually a chocolate bunny, carrying a pot of daffodils!


So I'm thinking, "When Easter eggs are planted, do chocolate bunnies grow?"
I sure hope so! Cuz my Bunny sure looks like she has a garden full of bunnies to harvest! (-: (and I even finished the inside, with MORE chocolate bunnies)... YUM!!


So, now you want the "Bunny 'Tween" don't you?
I mean, you REALLY want "Bunny 'Tween", right?
Well, guess what!

Goth 'Tween with Attitude!

Look who’s back!

Yep, Digi’s with Attitude is roaring back 

onto the Challenge Blog scene!

And guess who is back on the Design Team!

ME!!

We are so excited to announce that today is the beginning of our first challenge since our short break! 

And our Brand New Design Team has been announced!

You’ll HAVE to stop over to the Digi’s With Attitude! Challenge Blog 

to see all the creations our new Team has made to inspire you!

It’s a great challenge, too!

We're celebrating our return with everyone's favorite:

ANYTHING GOES 

And the prize for this magnificent occasion?

A $10 Gift Certificate from Digi’s With Attitude! 

Here is a picture of my project:

I used one of my favorite ‘Tweens with Attitude called “Goth Tween”

You can snag her at the shop HERE 

I colored her digitally with Paint.NET  then tried something a little different. When I printed on white paper, the color lost a lot of its depth, so I printed her on pink card stock... I'm happy with the end result... the colors really seem to stand out much better than on the white paper... maybe it's just time for an ink refill?

The swirly background (black) is an SVG from SVGCuts.com that I cut on my Cricut. I cut it again to make a window out of the purple paper, then embossed the inside of the purple with "Diamonds" from Sizzix.

The black fibers and silver goth looking ribbon are goodies my friend Jennifer sent me last Halloween! So, thank you, Jen! They were a perfect fit for this little lady!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

The Latte Lounge: Window Card

The Crazy Challenge, Sweet Teens
The Paper Variety, 1-2-3 Recipe: My recipe: 1 image, 2 colors (black and purple) and 3 ribbons
Pink Paper Paradise, Make It Monday Showcase. While this is not a challenge, I am super proud of how this card turned out and wanted to share it! I hope it will inspire someone to do something a little different!
Paper Playtime, Digi Monday, Anything Goes: This week one of the sponsors for this challenge is Digi's With Attitude!
Creatalicious: Two Tone/colors: my two colors are black and purple.
Polka Doodles, No printed backing paper

Scrappin' With Digis and and Important Update

OK, maybe my title is backwards, because 

I'm going to give you the update first!

Today is Friday!

Usually that means I would be posting my project for 

the Digis with Attitude! Challenge!

As you can plainly see, I haven't done that!

The reason?

Cindy-Lynn, the owner of Digis with Attitude! announced Tuesday 

that the DWA challenge blog is closed, effective immediately! 

Yeah! I'm shocked too!!

SO! While that door closed, another quickly opened!

I was invited to be a member of the team at MyGrafico 

and had been contemplating it!

With the new gap in my schedule, it was the perfect opportunity!

So I am pleased to announce 

my new position with the MyGrafico Team!

Several new members have joined our team 

and there will be a "formal" announcement Monday!

I'm really looking forward to working with these ladies!

They are a warm, welcoming and fun group 

and I have worked with products from several of their artists 

and love them!

So this may just be a match made in Heaven!

And my other news today!

YES!! I was featured in The Journal, 

the newsletter of The Stamping Boutique!

If you haven't signed up yet to receive our weekly newsletter, 

go ahead and do that right now: HERE'S THE LINK! 

I'll wait, just hurry back!

This week, you get to learn ALL about me!

Doesn't that make you just want to RUN! (-:

Every week, there is a FREE, brand new TSB image released!

The image this week is called "Pocket Patootie Bunny"

I used him to make a scrapbook page!

It's been a long time since I felt the "urge" to make a page, 

but this image just made me think of Easter Egg Hunting 

and I remembered these pictures I had the THE box! 

You know THE box... the one FULL of pictures to be scrapped!

These pictures are from Easter 2002!

Tomorrow, the little one on the left will be 10!!

The pocket in the top left corner is actually 

a real piece of my little guy's pants! 

Yes, I suppose I AM a hoarder! 

I have clothes from 2002, sitting in "Space Saver Bags" in the closet! 

I pulled out these shorts and remembered that day, clear as a bell!

So, who's jealous!?!

This picture was taken EASTER weekend!

See the leaves under the trees!?!

NO SNOW!!!

Mwah-ha-ha-ha... {{evil laughter}}

I cut off the pocket, put it on my page, and put the Journal Tag inside 

(yes, the pocket opens, the tag is inside)! 

Cute, right?

All the eggs and other Easter-theme cuts are from the 

"Easter Morning Egg Hunt" collection from SVG Cuts.com

Here's a closeup of the Pocket Patootie:

I colored him with Paint.NET and used a denim texture to "fill" his pocket!

Yeah... I'm a little behind scrapping... 

but with all Tracey's new images made especially for scrapping, 

I'm feeling motivated!

Hope you come back to visit soon!

Look for more pages, coming to a theater near you!

Digis with Attitude! Challenge #20: Your Favorite DWA image

This week, the Challenge at Digis With Attitude! is a simple and fun one!


We would like you to 

"Celebrate With Us 

and

Show us any new project using 

your favorite Digis With Attitude! image"

Well, how could I go wrong with Tabitha and Tony?

Absolutely my favorite of all the Animals with Attitude!

This week we are sponsored by The Cutting Cafe

We were given sample cutting files to use and this 4-leaf clover card cuts Oh, so perfectly!! Thank you, Regina, for allowing us to use these files! I really had fun with this one!
The sentiment circle is also included in the set!
I hope you'll get a chance to play in our Celebrate With us Challenge!

Housecleaning is not my specialty!

Our challenge theme this week at Digis With Attitude! is:

Anything to do with Cleaning!

Well, my husband and I run a cleaning business, so I thought this would be a walk in the park!

But do you ever really give a person a cleaning-related card?

As you'll see at the Challenge Blog, there are lots of ways to interpret this, and yes, as a matter of fact, we did all figure out a way to give out a "Cleaning" card!

You'll have to go over to the challenge blog today and check out the work of the rest of the team! As always, they are inspired!!

So! That's our challenge to YOU this week... 

figure out a way to make a card that has "Anything to do with Cleaning" 

and post it for a chance to win

2 digi paper packs from our generous sponsor, Robyn's Fetish!

We were lucky enough to get this paper pack from our sponsor and I used it as a digital pattern fill for my image's headband. This is a fun and easy way to do paper piecing without all the mind-numbing fussy cutting... since my last birthday, I'm finding that focusing too closely on small objects for an extended period of time is not such a good idea, so using my big PC monitor to do my coloring and filling is much more ergonomic!

And printing digi papers is just as easy... I used the same paper for my background and punched a few flowers out it for my flower in the corner...

I am totally in love with the entire digital phenomenon and all its versatility and possibilities!!! 

This week at the Digis With Attitude! Shop, there are two brand new 'Tweens with 'Tude! joining our growing family:

Vacuuming Tween

Skateboarding Tween

Plus, our Monthly freebie, Shopping 'Tween is still available!

Shopping 'Tween

I sure do hope you'll get a chance to really challenge yourself this week and try, try, try to come up with a card about CLEANING!!
