Outlawz Festive Friday's Challenge & Four new themes!!

A new Festive Friday's Challenge at the Outlawz. We have four new themes again this week and I chose..................

Tell a Fairy Tale Day

I have accumulated quite a collection of princess/fairy tale stamps and digis over the years, especially since my granddaughter is all about that sort of thing!!  I have a cute little set called Mimi's Playground that is by Penny Black. (The set also has a cute train but that will have to wait for another time!!

 I hope you like my card.

After stamping with Black Memento ink, I used my Copic markers to color in the images. The pretty paper has a light sheen to it and is from my stash and so are the pink pearls.

Our sponsor this month is a2zscrapbooking.  The prize for the monthly winner will be a digi kit. What fun!! a2zscrapbooking sells so many products and they are the exclusive dealer for Hero Arts Digial products!

  

And Lisa, my teamie, is going to give a goodie package away, too.

If you want to know the other themes for the Festive Friday's Challenge, you will need to stop by the challenge! We have four new themes every week!! I'm sure you can find one or more that you want to make a project for. You can enter our challenge up to 3 times in any given week!!

Thanks for dropping by!!

Outlawz Sketch Challenge for February 24, 2016

There's a new sketch challenge that just started over at the Outlawz. And it is the last one for February. Bring on March Madness!! I'm ready to say goodbye to February and start enjoying a little warmer weather and some basketball tournaments!! But for now, we still have a few days left of February, so we may as well enjoy it!

I'd like to thank our sponsor this month which has been Digistamps4joy who will give away $10 worth of digis to our monthly winner. I have really enjoyed working with the shop's images. They are really beautiful images and I especially love the Cosmos Corsage image which I used for my card below.

Now here is the sketch for this week!

And here is my card using Cosmos Corsage from Digistamps4joy. The flowers are colored with Copic markers. The border is a sticker strip. My papers are from my stash and the little pink square was embossed with a dotted embossing folder.

Challenges I am entering:

Lemon Shortbread - Anything Goes

Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes

Marker Pop - Anything Goes

International Dog Biscuit Day

I was looking through all my stuff for a dog biscuit stamp and then I came across this sentiment by Stampin' Up! and decided to use it along with a boxer image from Mark's Finest Papers. I used Copic markers to color and some cute paw print stickers from my stash! I have a boxer named Kasey (named after NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne!). She is four years old and the goofiest and happiest canine I've ever known!!!

And here is my card using "All My Love" by Digistamps4joy!  I colored with Copic markers and everything, paper, gems, are all from my stash.

We have a new sketch challenge at the Outlawz.  And a new sponsor for February! Let's hear it for Digistamps4joy!!!  I was so pleased we were able to get this wonderful digi company to sponsor us. They are such a versatile company and I really have fun shopping at the store site.  The prize for our February winner will be a $10 voucher towards some digis.
