Coffee Break? It's about Time!

It's Saturday and we have a new challenge at the Saturday Paper Ala Mode Challenge at the Outlawz!
Saturday Paper A La Mode

Each week we give you a theme and all you have to do is make a card or scrap page or another type of creation with our theme of the week.
This week's theme is Time or Clock(s).


A lucky September winner will get a prize of 3 digital images from Sheepski Designs

Here is my card using Coffee Break by Sheepski Designs. I colored with Copic Markers to match my paper and used the computer to generate my sentiment. The clock is a sticker! The striped burlap ribbon is new this season from Stampin' Up!

Happy Friday!  So excited for the weekend. Tonight I go to a craft show in Des Moines and tomorrow night is the Luke Bryan concert in my little town as part of his Farm Tour!  And Sunday is my hubby's birthday!!  65 years old!!  OMG, does that sound old? I'm close behind him!!

 At the Outlawz today, we have a new  Festive Friday's Challenge.  

Each week at the Festive Friday's Challenge, we give you five themes to choose from. The themes are Birthday, Get Well, Anniversary/Wedding,  Anything Goes, and Christmas.

Our sponsor for September is Through the Craft Room Door Magazine. The September prize winner will get a subscription to the magazine.





For my card this week, I made a Christmas card using a card kit I bought at Joann's. No coloring! Just gluing down different elements. Sometimes, you just don't have the extra time to make a fancy card!






Festive Fridays


I hope you will join us at Festive Fridays at the Outlawz!!  

And be sure and visit the Outlawz!
There are 8 challenges there in all!! Something for everyone!!


Thank you for dropping by!!

Butterfly and Rose -- Outlawz Wednesday Sketch Challenge

Sad to see it's the last Wednesday of September! Why? Well, because we've had a wonderful month of September, weather-wise! And........we have so enjoyed having Anne's Digital Art as our sponsor this month. I have loved coloring up her floral images!

But without further ado, a new Wednesday Sketch Challenge is posted at the Outlawz Challenges!



For the month of September, our sponsor is Anne's Digital Art
The lucky September winner will win a prize of 3 digis and the winner will be announced in October.

Here is the Sketch for this week



And here is my card using Butterfly and Rose by our sponsor, Anne's Digital Art!  I colored with Copic markers and Prismacolor Colored Pencils. My sentiment pretty much covered up part of the Sketch, but that's okay as I know what it looks like under the sentiment! I love using dotted papers. I think they are so cheerful and upbeat! My card is 6 x 6 inches overall. 




I hope you will pop by the Sketch Challenge and see the beautiful work done by my teammates!
And thanks so much for taking time to stop by here at my little blog!

Anne Fenton's Hollyhocks -- Outlawz Sketch Challenge

Hey!!  It's Wednesday!  Hump Day!   (Get over the mid-week hump!!)

A new  Wednesday Sketch Challenge is posted at the Outlawz Challenges!



For the month of September, our sponsor is Anne's Digital Art
The lucky September winner will win a prize of 3 digis and the winner will be announced in October.

Here is the Sketch for this week


And here is my card using Hollyhocks by our sponsor, Anne's Digital Art!  I colored with Copic markers and Prismacolor Colored Pencils. My inspiration photo showed a background of tree bark and I liked the way the lines went "every which way" so I tried to duplicate that effect.  I need more practice, but decided to step out of my comfort zone.



I hope you will pop by the Sketch Challenge and see the beautiful work done by my teammates!
And thanks so much for taking time to stop by here at my little blog!
