This month’s Sheepski Designs FB Challenge theme is “Pick a Shape.” I picked rectangle and used Andrea’s sweet Chameleon digi named, appropriately “Camouflage.” An assortment of specific background images helps the little critter celebrate all four seasons of the year!

PS Stop by the Sheepski blog to learn more about the monthly challenges and have a chance to win some wonderful digis created by artist Andrea Norris!

(Note- I did crop and darken the second photo so that the backgrounds had better contrast and you can easily see their seasonal focus, which are flowers, stars, pumpkins/sunflowers and snowflakes on weathered wood!) 

I’m entering this card into several challenges including Papercrafts' For The Girls (two of my nieces love all things reptile. They have a pet Bearded Dragon Lizard named “Leon” that they adore! So I know they will love this card. I can just hear the oldest say, “He’s playing hide and seek!” and the youngest will have fun saying “Chameleon” probably repeatedly with giggles!)

Papercraft Challenges   Challenge #83 For the Girls

Several months ago, I was introduced to a neat FB/YouTube program named Craft Roulette. Every Friday night the challenge host invites a card maker/blogger to create a card, live on camera, that features four randomly picked themes. This is the second time I’ve entered the challenge and had fun making this card that features an adorable digi from All Dressed Up, that includes the following  themes 1) Project- Card with Ribbons (bows in hair), 2) Colors- neutral background (white) plus two main colors (red and blue), 3) Element- Water (ocean) and 4) Random- Edging (scored with a Scor-pal & stylus.)

I’m entering this card into several challenges including The Paper Shelter and All Dressed Up (In honor of the upcoming 4th of July celebrations, I pick red, white, and blue for my color scheme… plus red and white are two of my favs!)             

 

Supplies: 

·   Digi- All Dressed Up (Ship Ahoy)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Clouds and Water created with chalks, makeup sponge and stencil cut from cardstock

wecraftcards is a weekly challenge that is near and dear to my heart. I met the members back in 2012 when I joined a Papercrafts Magazine Forum. I soon discovered that winning prizes was fun but getting to know the wonderful people was the greatest treat. When the sponsor closed the Forum later that year, one of the members offered to sponsor a site so that we could keep meeting. Almost 10 years later a small number of us continue to meet regularly to share stamping techniques, support and encourage each other, and even provide small prizes. They are such a great group of people, and they continue to inspire me!. This card is an example. The theme for the June challenges is Movie Titles, in this case, “Chicago.” Most of the entries were music related, but I took a totally different twist... sports!  A family friend is a Cubbies fan, so he’ll be getting this card this summer!

Although people of all ages and genders like baseball, since I made this one for a guy I’m entering it into several challenges with masculine themes: Dare 2 Be Artzy, Digi Doodle Studios, and Paper Funday.

Supplies: 

·   Chicago Cubs Subway Sign- from www.greatbigcanvas (no longer available)

·   Ball, Bat, and inside sentiment- Imagine That! Digi Set (Baseball Girl) Sadly the company is no longer in business

·   Sparkly Star Stickers- Dollar Store

·   Foam tape and other items from my stash.
