Good morning everyone, I’m here to share with you my guest DT card for the stamptacular challenge.  This week’s challenge is ‘cute as a bug’ so there must be a bug somewhere on your project.  You’ll get an extra entry into the prize draw if you make a baby card.  Don’t forget there must be some form of stamping on your project, and yes, digi stamps are allowed!  Here is my card:

Digi doodle challenge – guest DT card

Good evening fellow bloggers, I hope you have had a great Saturday.  It has been another gorgeous day here, although I’ve been catching up with DT work and card orders so haven’t ventured outside :(  

I am so late posting my card for the digi doodle challenge this week.  The challenge launched on Thursday but I didn’t feel 100% on Thurs/Fri so only now getting around to posting my guest DT card.

The challenge this week is a sketch and the lucky DT were given a digi image called ‘flowers galore’ from our sponsor Pear Tree Designs to use on their samples.  This is the sketch:

Happy Wednesday :)

Wow the weather has been gorgeous here today.  It's been hot but there was a lovely breeze, who needs to go abroad when it’s as nice as this here.  I’ve actually had a chance to enter the sugar bowl challenge this week (after a long time absent) but of course I’ve left it last minute to actually post my card lol!

I used my brand new image from funky kits called ‘cheerleader’ – isn’t she just so cute :)  I used a different card to stamp her on and it wasn’t as good as the SU whisper white card as the colours did bleed a little and it was hard to blend them but I think it looks ok. 

I can also enter my card into the following challenges:

The sugar bowl challenge – sketch and colours pink, black and white

OSAAT challenge – celebrations

The Crazy challenge – you’re a star (stars on her top)

Craftalicious challenge – new (my image is new)

Frosted designs challenge – glitter (I used stickles on her pom poms)

Cupcake craft challenge #95 – DT card

Hello again, I’m back to share with you my DT card for the cupcake craft challenge.  This week’s challenge has been set by Kathrin and she has chosen “one for the boys” as this week is the run up to Father’s day, so you can make anything man related!  My husband actually asked me to make a card which he doesn’t do very often as it was his friend’s 40th birthday, so I decided to combine the two and this is what I came up with:

CCC challenge 95 - about a boy

CCC challenge 95 - about a boy (close up) Please check out the rest of the DT cards, as they are all amazing as usual. 

Our sponsor this week is Digital Delights and the lucky winner will receive a $10.00 gift voucher to spend in their online store.
