Autumn Scarecrow -- for QKR Stampede

It's Friday!  Time for a new challenge at QKR Stampede challenge blog.  Every Friday, there's a new challenge, every Friday, the challenges are Anything Goes.

It's Autumn.  The leaves are all but fallen where I live, and things are looking bare.  However, we're still enjoying pumpkin patches, scarecrows, and we're gearing up for Halloween.  Today, I'm featuring a very sweet scarecrow from QKR Stampede. This is, simply, Scarecrow (Q-digi18801):

I colored the Scarecrow with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils.  I used cutting dies by Lawn Fawn to cut out the Scarecrow and back him. 

Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  There's 2 papers on the card, both from the Seasonal Backgrounds paper collection. 

I hope this card inspires you to join in on the QKR Stampede Anything goes challenge this week!  I'd love to see what you make, and we've got great digis you could win -- like this one! 

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:
Daisy Chain Challenge -- Autumn/Fall
Dies R Us Challenge -- Anything Fall
PDE Linky Party -- Anything Cards

Heartfelt Thanks -- for QKR Stampede Challenge Blog

It's Friday!  Fri-yay!  That means it's time for a new challenge on the QKR Stampede Challenge blog, where there's a new challenge every week, and every challenge is Anything Goes! 

I got out my colored pencils for this week's card, and used the Eureka Stamps digi, Waterfall Border (ES-digi37401) to create this: 

Once the image was colored with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils, I backed it with black card stock.  Then, I used 2 digital papers from the We Are 3 Digital Shop, At The Beach.  The sentiment is an acrylic stamp from Craftin' Desert Divas.  The aqua shimmer trim is from Close To My Heart. 

I hope you're able to join the challenge this week at QKR Stampede Challenge Blog.  I'd love to see your creations, and we've got great digis you can win! 

Think Fall! -- for QKR Stampede Challenge Blog

Here we are to the first Friday in October!  This month is flying by, just like the leaves, flying by my window on the wind!  
Since it's Friday, it's time for a new challenge at QKR Stampede Challenge Blog -- every Friday, always Anything Goes!

This week, I used Fall Leaf Oval (ES-digi27002) to create this:

I colored Fall Leaf Oval with Faber-Castell Polychromos Pencils.  I cut it out and backed it with a couple of Spellbinders dies.  The background paper is digital.  I found it at Snap Click Supply.  I don't remember where I got the squirrel die anymore, but I use it often on Fall cards.  The card base is an SVG file from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons.  The crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM (out of business).

I hope you have an opportunity to join in on our Anything Goes challenge this week at QKR Stampede Challenge Blog.  I'd love to see what you make, and we've got great digis you could win!

This week, in honor of my love of sunflowers, I colored up a pretty one.  It's part of a Fall Set of 4 (digi stamps) at QKR Stampede. 

I colored up this Fall sunflower from the Fall Set of 4 with Copic markers, then cut out around the block shape.

Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  They are the Sunflower Collection and the Pastel Burlap Collection.  The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Fall Sentiment Set.  A bit of Timeless Twine finishes off the card.

In Sympathy -- for QKR Stampede

As church organist, I often get asked to play for funerals.  When it's someone I know personally, I feel a sympathy card is in order.  So, I need lots of sympathy cards throughout the year.  For the QKR Stampede Challenge this week (they are always Anything Goes), I created this:

I printed the Tree digital stamp (ES-digi15302) and the In Sympathy sentiment (ES-digi4505), then got busy with Tim Holtz distress oxide inks.  I used several different orange/yellow colors, and a couple different blues, and blended them together.  The sequins are from Close To My Heart.

I hope this card inspires you to enter the QKR Stampede challenge this week.  They are always anything goes.  You have all week!  I'd love to see what you create!

Pamper Yourself! for QKR Stampede

It's Friday!  Somehow, it's the last Friday of the month, AND the last day of August.  I seriously don't know how either of these things happened.  And, to confuse me even more, it's the unofficial last weekend of summer -- Labor Day.  Gulp!

Since it's Friday, I do know it's time for a new challenge at QKR Stampede Challenge Blog. Challenges are Anything Goes, all the time!

I've been on a bit of a turtle and frog roll lately, but I think this is my last one -- for a bit anyway.  I just love these turtle images from QKR Stampede. Today, I made a card using Bathing Turtle (Q-digi2602):

I colored Bathing Turtle with copic markers. The sentiment is computer generated.

Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  This is the Birthday Bouquet Collection.

It's Friday!  Friday, Friday, Friday!  That means it's time for a new challenge at QKR Stampede Challenge Blog. The challenges are Anything Goes, all the time!

This week, I used the digi News (Q-digi7604) to create this: 

I colored the News digi with Copic markers, then fussy cut it.  I backed it with a piece of black card stock for contrast.  

The designer paper behind the centipede is from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  It is one of the papers from the Watercolor Batik paper collection. 

The sentiment was computer generated.  The circles are a die.
