Finally got another chance to play along over at By LORi Designs with the weekly challange.

It was a very green colour challenge this week, I didn't have much time to put this card together, but all in all its not too bad.

The colouring took the longest, as per usual. And I haven't quite gotten the hang of using the colourless blender to remove mistakes... so don't look too closely at her, lol!

Here were the colours we had to work with (did the best I could with what I had):



And here is the card I came up with:

Club Anya Saturday Sketch #59

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!

I have had very little time this week with all the craziness that is going on at work, but finally tonight I had a chance to sit down and make a card for Club Anya & Friends Saturday Sketch Challenge.

I had this little cheer Anya colour for about a week, and I knew she was the image that I wanted to use in my card, but I was suprised to find that I have very few papers with purple in them... Made this an even harder challenge for me.
Luckily I found some stuff in my scrap drawer that worked, some gems I had picked up at the dollar store (though for the life of me I couldn't get them completely straight) and I meant to put on some ribbon, but completely forgot until much of the card was assembled

Here was the sketch we had to work with:



Here was my end result:

FFF-Christmas Scraps

Over at The Greeting Farm blog the farm fresh challenge this past Friday was to use up your left over christmas scraps.

Since I have a TON of scraps left over from this christmas 2010, I thought it was the perfect challenge.

The image I used in this card, I actually used just last week on a wedding/anniversary card for the Club Anya & Friends challenge, but I thought that it would also be perfect for a christmas card.

Here is what I came up with for the christmas scraps challenge:

Club Anya & Friends Satuday Sketch #58

I can't believe this is the second card that I've made today, that never happens! (But I guess that is what happens when you get a day off work, and theres nobody around to interrupt you.)

This card is for the Club Anya & Friends Saturday Sketch Challenge. I have so much fun colouring these images, unfortunately I over estimated the size I needed when I was printing out the digi, so I ended up loosing her little shoes when I punched her out.

Anyways, here is the sketch we had to work from:



Totally unlike my usual layouts, but I had fun playing around and coming up with this:
