CRAFT US CRAZY CHALLENGE #7

CHALLENGE #7 - MOTHER'S DAY OR FLOWERS

I love Thursdays, because it means challenge time again over at CRAFT US CRAZY! It is exciting, challenge after challenge, to see all of the fantastic entry projects. Each and every one of them are so incredible. I can't wait to see the entries for this challenge. Speaking of which, this week's challenge theme is Mother's Day or flowers. Both of which go hand in hand in my opinion.

We have three AWESOME sponsors for this challenge: the CUTTING CAFE is our monthly sponsor until the end of May and both MELJIN'S DESIGNS and YOUR NEXT STAMP are sponsors for challenge #7. Check out their info and all of the challenge details over at the CRAFT US CRAZY blog.

My project for this challenge is a card using the "sunflower buggies" image from MELJIN'S DESIGNS. I chose to create more of a plain card with no patterned paper or embellishments because I think this image is so cute it can stand on it's own!!

Don't forget to join us over at CRAFT US CRAZY this week to show off your wonderful creation!!

CRAFT US CRAZY CHALLENGE #2

CHALLENGE #2 - WINTER THEME

It is that time again. Time for another challenge over at CRAFT US CRAZY. Our first challenge had an amazing amount of participants with amazing talent showcased!! This week's challenge is to complete a project using a WINTER theme. Our fantastic sponsor for this week's challenge is MELJEN'S DESIGNS. They have some of the most adorable digi images. For the entire month of February we have two terrific sponsors, THE CUTTING CAFE and STAMPS ALIVE.

Now onto my project. I made a hot cocoa packet holder, you can find the tutorial for it HERE. I used the Penguins Skating Buddy digi image from MELJEN'S DESIGNS. I printed and colored the image several times and cut out certain elements of the image to layer for depth. I added a little glossy accents to the skate blades and a little flock to the earmuffs. I did not have the right color of flock that I needed so I used white and colored over it with my Copic marker. Just make sure to swipe your Copic over a sheet of scratch paper to remove any stray fuzz.

A pic of the yummy goodness that is inside. :)

Here is a view of the layers added to the image.

I hope you will join our Winter Themed challenge over at CRAFT US CRAZY. Remember it is not necessary to submit a challenge project using a product from one of our sponsors, but if you do GREAT!!
