Need a HUG?

This entry covers two challenges:
A Spoon Full of Sugar (Animals) and Digital Tuesday Challenge (Dots and Stripes).
In making this card I wanted to give the appearance of a padded frame.

Lucky us

My cousin and I have the same birth date which is 11/26 and this year it happens to fall on ThanksGiving Day. I have not seen him since he graduated from high school, he now lives in Germany. About a month ago I was lucky enough to come across him on FaceBook. We made a promise to each other to post a birthday card on each others' wall. This card is for him as well as the challenge at ASFOS...which is a color challenge of brown as the base color and pink or blue. Happy B-Day Darren!

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Baby's First Christmas

It took me awhile to get this one just right. For the ASFOS challenge this week we were to do something for Baby's First Christmas.

I started out with a coloring book page of Rudolph the red nose reindeer and I colored it in using PSP of course. I was going to use the image to make the card but it just was not enough. My creative thoughts began to go a mile a minute, boy I was thinking...I wanted to do something outside the box with this card. Then I thought about the theme and it hit me. I saw the card in my head now I just needed to figure out how to get it on paper...well digital paper...lol

I took the painted image of Rudolph and overlayed it on an image of a silver ornament that I had done for another project, it started out as a coloring book page as well. All this was done in PSP. It worked..I just added the snowflakes to complete the card. Yelp that is what I saw...my card is done!


In case you can't read what it says on the ornament...it reads Baby's First Christmas 2009

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Create a Scene

I did not want to do a typical holiday scene for this challenge at ASFOS which is to create a scene, but I did want the feel of the holiday there. Can you feel it!

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Sketch

Back to the cards. This card is for A Spoon Full of Sugar sketch challenge which you will find here. The butterfly image is actually a neutral brush tip from PSP that I painted...looks real doesn't it. The daisy is a tube image from PSP, and the brads I created using PSP. Everything else came from a digi kit from Dreamsfulfilled.
The challenge has been met, my card is complete.

Double Challenge

Wow I can not believe how perfect this is...I have a friend who just redid her kitchen in red and yellow.

This covers 2 challenges. Sherrod Studio which is a color challenge (you will find the colors here) and A Spoon Full of Sugar which is a theme challenge...guess what the theme is...Kitchen/Cooking!

I have met the challenges and my card is done.
