Outlawz Progressive Challenge for September

It is September 1st and at the Outlawz, we have a new Progressive Challenge starting.

Diana Carubia of Di's Digis very generously donated a brand new image for us to use in our challenge.  It is called Sunflower Mouse.

Here are some links to Di's Digis, store, challenge, and facebook page!



Here is my DT card for the challenge. I used Copic markers to color.

Festive Friday's Outlawz Challenges August 26, 2016

Here we are at the last Friday of the month!  Summer has flown by.  I hope we have a loooooong fall because this summer sure was hot and I stayed inside a lot!!!! My flower beds will confirm that!!

Every week at the Festive Friday's Outlawz Challenge, we have four fun themes to choose from. Some are ridiculous, some are sentimental, and some are just really sweet. For this week, I chose Daffodil Day. If you want to see the other themes, you will need to stop by the Challenge because I don't want to give it away!!!

My card uses the Daffodil image from Bugaboo, which is one of our sponsors every month. I colored with Copic markers and used papers from my stash. I love coloring up the Bugaboo images!!



Over at the Outlawz, we have 8 challenges.  A new one starting every day plus a month long Progressive Challenge.  We couldn't do our challenges without great sponsors.

Festive Friday's has two sponsors every month!


Our first sponsor 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 Digital products!

Our second sponsor is Bugaboo!
The prize is $21 worth of digital images.

Outlawz Wednesday Sketch Challenge August 10


So excited for a new Sketch Challenge at the Outlawz! This month we have an awesome sponsor which happens to be my Sketch teammate!! Andrea Norris/SheepSki Designs is our sponsor and she will give 3 digis to our August winner!

This week's sketch!



And my card using Kitty Mannequin Model

What a fun sketch this week. I hadn't planned on making a monochromatic card when I started out. I decided to color first and then pick my card papers. I colored with Copic markers.
The first layer atop the red layer is an embossed metallic sheet from a paper stack I found in my stash. The leafy design on top of the black square is actually vellum from Stampin Up! It is of the Botanical Garden series. The glittery diamond borders are stickers from my stash and so is the rest of everything! The little flower gems and the white ribbon. I love that white ribbon.....I think it was by Gina K Designs! I need to stock up on that as it is one of my favorites!!

Here's some info on our sponsor's store!


Hope you will check out our Sketch Challenge at the Outlawz!! Our August winner will receive 3 digis from SheepSkiDesigns!!

It's Festive Friday's at the Outlawz

Festive Friday's at the Outlawz has a new challenge! Every week there are 4 themes to pick from and you can enter as many as three times per week. The card I made for this week's challenge is for Black Cat Day.  I really like how my card turned out.
I used many "never before used" items from my craft room. The digi image is from Bugaboo, one of our sponsors, and is entitled Silhouette-Happy Halloween Cat.  I colored with copic markers. The gray sponging was done with a sponge dauber and gray ink pad.


I used my Gothic border die from Tonic (never before used), my EK Success punch for the bats, spiders, and snake---they all punch at the same time (never before used), black liquid pearls to accent the border (never before used) and I was happy to finally have used some of my stash just sitting around collecting dust! 

We have two sponsors every month!


Our first sponsor 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 Digital products!

It's August at the Outlawz Sketch Challenge

Cannot believe it is August already! When I think of August, I think of the Iowa State Fair! Always a good time with concerts, fair food (corn dogs and just about anything on a stick!!!), and crowds of people watching all the shows and visiting the "Butter Cow".

Anyway, at the Outlawz, August will bring five Wednesday Sketch Challenges and here is the first one!!


And here is my card!

This cute little guy is Nova and he is the image I used from SheepSkiDesigns/Andrea Norris which is our sponsor for the whole month of August. I was imagining that Nova was checking out the ninth hole on the golf course!!  
Andrea is my teammate at the Sketch Challenge and a year or so ago, she began putting her artistic talent to use by drawing some digis! Wow, this lady has so much talent! I hope you will drop by her blog, facebook page, and Etsy store. I  have put the links below.


Hope you will check out our Sketch Challenge at the Outlawz!! Our August winner will receive 3 digis from SheepSkiDesigns!!
Thanks for dropping by my blog! I truly appreciate it!!
