CDAC Progressive Challenge

Crafter's Digital Art Center (or CDAC) is having a progressive challenge!  What's the grand prize?  A fabulous set of 12 Copic markers!  How cool is that?  When I heard about this, I definitely wanted to join in.  Here's what you do:

Go to CDAC here and join up (if you're not already a member).  CDAC is a fabulous place with so much to learn and such a great community...you definitely won't be disappointed with your membership!

After signing in, join the Progressive Freebie Challenge here, then follow the directions. There are some GORGEOUS images for this first section of the challenge, and you only have until 8/31/11 to get the first images free, so hurry up!  Don't worry, though...if you miss the first deadline, you can still buy the images for $1 to play along!

So, here's my first card for the kick off challenge.  I used this adorable image by Whoopsi Daisy. Isn't she CUTE?!?

Paper is from Kaiser Craft's Magic Happens collection.  Flowers are from a blog candy I won a few months ago.  Gems are from Recollections.  The image was colored with Copics, then highlighted with Stickles on her belt and flower in her hair. Sentiment was printed using Word and the background paper for the sentiment is from FreeDigitalScrapbooking.com.

Well, there's my first one!  I printed out the images forever ago, and meant to have the cards done weeks ago.  Now...time's almost up and I've FINALLY completed my first one. LOL Hopefully I'll have time to put together a couple more before the next session starts! =D

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you will join in the fun!

Don't Be a Square!

Happi Monday, y'all!  It's time for another Happileigh Scrappin' challenge!  This week was Leigh's turn to pick a challenge, and she wants to see shaped cards.  Any shape....except squares or rectangles!  OR....you can do a special fold!  Tri-fold!  Gate Fold!  Napkin Fold!  Go crazy.  =D

I opted for the shaped card; I used Jenny on Swing and T-O-Y Wood Sign.  Both were colored with Copics and then fussy cut out.  The smile sentiment was hand written.  The flowers were made with a Sizzix die cut, edged with chalk ink and curled. Blue flowers with gems in the middle are from Michael's.

Alright, now head on over to the Happileigh Scrappin' Challenge Blog to see the AWESOME cards by the rest of the Happi Sisters!  I hope to see y'all participate in our challenge this week.  Remember, you do not have to use a Happileigh Scrappin' image to enter, but we would sure LOVE it if you would!  Plus, if you use a Happileigh Scrappin' image, you get entered into both the random drawing and a separate drawing for just HLSC projects!  That's TWO chances to win! If you don't have any of Leigh's images yet, you can find some beautiful freebies here, or you can visit the store here.  As always, for every three images you purchase you get one free.  Also, for a limited time you get the image below FREE with any purchase!  Pretty, isn't it?!?  =D

Alright, thanks for stopping by!  I hope you join in with our challenge this week!
