Vintage Red Blue Gray

I started with the color idea from the PlayDateCafeChallenge-barn red, slate blue, and gray. Unfortunately the collection was closed this morning. I really need to pay closer attention to those deadlines, shesh. Their idea of slate was darker than mine. Then I went with Carly's sketch from SketchesByCarly. She is quite an artist, check out her site to see what you get, just for playing! Many of you already know her talented mom Kris Breach at Ink Something. So then I had to find a picture and luckily I had gone through some pictures in the morning. My darling brother must be about 4 in this photo, it's a school photo, badly faded. The shirt is red with white polka dots and the vest, (with matching pants I remember), is a light denim.
Used: All Stampin' Up except the blue sunflower which is a digi by Priscillastyles that I colored with Sharpie markers. Check out the Crafter's Digital Art Center to see more fantastic uses of Digital Images.

Thank-you Pumpkin Girl

I finished my card for Crafting With Deedee's Digi's Happy Monday challenge. I combined Deedee's image, 'Hello, Pumpkin!' with More Mustard, Sahara Sand, and a purple card stock. The dress is actually not black, it's dark purple. My sketch comes from Carly at Sketches By Carly. She comes up with great sketch challenges, but they are a bit intimidating to me. I had some trouble with this one after all, Carly!!!

Thank-you all for your visit and your comments!

Batty!

I'm batty for this bat!!! Shelly drew this for Shelly's Images. He's almost too cute to spook! I didn't do a thing with him, just sized him and printed. I used a sketch from Sketches by Carly. It isn't exact, but this is what it morphed into. Make sure and go check out Sketches by Carly, to compare the sketches. Thanks for visiting!

Summer Bright

Evening, everyone!  I really wanted to use this image, I've had it printed for weeks. I was planning to do the Double Delight Challenge to use 'summer colors', and one of the images from Designed2Delight.
Did that and did that.
Except I was supposed to use the kitty image! Well, I made a cheery card anyway, I think this is the one I will send to Faith's dad. :-)
My sketch is based on this one from Sketches By Carly

A card and a winner!!!

First a card...I so enjoyed the PlayDateCafe'Challenge, that I had to use the colors again. My image is colored with SU Water Color Crayons, the colors are much softer than on my Victorian Rose card.

This is my idea of a pet. I would love to have a pig, I absolutely love them, the real ones, really, we used to raise them. Anyway...this is going on over at Crafting with Deedee's Digi's:
This Week's Happy Monday Challenge
This week our challenge theme is "All About Pets." We challenge you to make a project featuring an animal that could be a pet. Please do feel free to get creative with your "pets!"
[This little piggy is from Deedee's Digi's]

Now the sketch is from Sketches by Carly. This is sketch #4 Picnic Blanket. Her sketches are wonderful! Check them out.

Now, on to my winner!!!! Here is what I did:
1. Assigned a number, in order, to each qualified entry comment.
2. Typed up the numbers 1-53, and cut them up.
3. I placed them in a bag and used randomwright to pick a tag.
4. A member of my household pulled out #12, an early commenter, none other than.....
