It's Saturday, and it 's time for a new challenge at The Outlawz. On Saturday's the challenges are the Paper ala Mode challenges, and all year long they are sponsored by We Are 3 Digital Shop. Every challenge a $6 code will be given for the We Are 3 Store! The theme that begins today and runs for the next 2 weeks is "Pets are People too".
In our house, the dog is the boss. All life centers around the spoiled Golden Retriever named Winter. Here's one of my favorite pictures of my boy:
So, in sticking with the theme of the challenge, Pets are People too, of course I used a dog, and a sentiment with a dog theme. What do you think?
This card uses all We Are 3 Digital Shop products. The image, colored with Copic markers, is Puppy Dog. It comes with a pre-colored version also. The papers are from the Watercolor Delight papers. I used 3 of the papers on this card. The sentiment is one of the 4 sentiments that come in the Dog Sentiments set.
I love making pet projects, and I hope you do, too. Join us these next 2 weeks for the Pets are People too challenge at the Outlawz Paper ala Mode!

It's Saturday (yea!) and there's a new challenge that starts today at Catch The Bug Challenges. Today, and for the next week, there is an Anything Goes challenge happening. You could possibly win 10 images from your choice in the Bugaboo Stamps Store! How great is that?!?
I recently needed a thank you card for friends that made my husband and I a grilled turkey dinner one Saturday afternoon. Just because they are great people. So, I looked through the Bugaboo Stamps Store and found the perfect image -- Butterfly Thank You.
I colored the Butterfly Thank You with Lyra Rembrandt pencils on Kraft. The Butterfly Thank You image comes with a blank image too, so you can fill in whatever sentiment you'd like.
Once I got the Butterfly Thank You image colored and fussy cut, I needed to find the perfect papers to bring out the colors of the flowers. I found them at We Are 3 Digital Shop. These are 2 papers from the Glorious paper pack.
Catch the Bug Challenge Blog has a new challenge every Saturday, and there are new fabulous prizes every week. Come join us!

It's June 1, and it's time for a new challenge at SheepSki Designs Challenge Blog. Challenges go for a month, and have a theme. This month's theme is to use your favorite color(s). The challenge will go all month, so you have until June 30 to enter!
I have many colors that I like, and probably even more colors that I consider favorites to use with Copic markers. but when picking a favorite overall, I must say it is blue. So, for this challenge, I went all out, and you will see, this card is BLUE!
This wonderful image from SheepSki Designs is Wild Flower. Isn't that gnome adorable? Andrea has some adorable gnomes, and you'll find all of them in her Etsy Shop. Back to Wild Flower -- I colored it with Copic markers, then used a set of nesting dies from Crafter's Companion to cut out Wild Flower, back him, and create the shaped card. I found a piece of designer paper in the We Are 3 Digital Shop that matched the color scheme perfectly. The paper is one of the papers in the Enchanted Paper Collection. The dark blue gem accents are by Fun Stamper's Journey. The 'Hello' sentiment is an acrylic stamp from Close To My Heart.
I hope you join us this month at SheepSki Designs Challenge Blog. I'd love to see what you make, and you could win incredible digis -- like this one!

June 1 -- how did that happen? I love these springtime months, and they are going fast! We are barreling towards the summer solstice, and I don't even want to think about what follows that!
June 1 -- that means a new challenge is starting today in the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook group. Every month, you will find a challenge there with an easy theme to follow. You must use an All Dressed Up image to play along, but there are lots of wonderful ones in the All Dressed Up Etsy Shop. This month's theme is "Use Layers."
Since spring is my favorite time of the year, I decided to color up the super sweet image, Love Springtime:
I colored Love Springtime with Copic Markers, then cut her out with a die from The Scrapping Cottage. The butterfly die in the background is a double sided layer die from Crafter's Companion. The silver butterfly die is from Cheery Lynn. Here's a close up of the Love Springtime image:
Isn't she so cute? She seems as happy about springtime as I am!
I used layers of die cuts on my card to fit the challenge theme, but you can layer up your card however you like. I hope you join us this month for the 'Use Layers' challenge at All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook Group! I'd love to see your beautiful creations!

It's the first of the month, so that means a new challenge starts today at Dies R Us Challenge Blog. Every 1st and 15th, like clockwork, a new challenge begins! The theme for the next 2 weeks is, It's Dad's Day (Father's Day/masculine cards). I no longer have fathers or grandfathers in my life, so I made a masculine card for this challenge. It made me reminisce a bit about my brother and my dad when we were growing up:
Much fishing together went on between my brother and my father. That is what this die from Frantic Stamper made me think of. It is Fishing on the Dock of the Bay.
I created the background using Distress Oxide inks. I let them dry for 24 hours to prevent smudging and finger prints (been there, done that!). The 'Life is Beautiful' sentiment is from Crafter's Companion.
Every challenge, a $10 gift certificate is given away (random), and 3 designer choice awards. You must use a die sold in the Dies R Us store on your project to be eligible for the prize.
Dies R Us has a sister store, Didi Crafts that will ship to Canadian. If you are a Canadian reader, check it out!

It's the first Monday of the month, so it's time for a new challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps Challenges. Challenges are month-long now, but there are more prizes being awarded. They are still anything goes, so make sure you link up whatever it is you are working on.
States may be opening up more, but many of us are still social distancing. I am very much missing my friends and family. This digi set by Jan Mayhew sums it up nicely. It's called Alone Together. I used one of the images and one of the sentiments from the set to create this:
Home. We've probably all been spending more time there than we've planned on. Hopefully it's a happy place for you. Home for me is where my husband is, my Golden Retriever is, and all my crafting goodies are. It's definitely my happy place! So, when I saw all these home themed goodies in the We Are 3 Digital Shop, I knew I had to create something special with them!
Isn't that fun? I don't know why, but as soon as I saw those 2 Home digital images, this box card idea popped into my head. I used the pre-printed versions of the Home digital images here, but they also come in black & white so you can color them however you'd like. I used two of the Homeland papers on this box card, and the sentiment is one of four from the Home sentiment set. All of these products work so well together!
The box card is a set of dies from Crafter's Companion. Once I got it figured out, it was very fun to work with!
Visit the We Are 3 Digital Shop and see all the wonderful products there.
