Challenge #175 Anything Fall goes

Hello from my neck of the woods, Oregon.  We made it through one of the worst summers of wildfires in a long time.  Now the trees are turning beautiful fall colors.  That's what our challenge is for this fortnight.  Anything Fall Goes.  First let's take a look at the sponsor(s) for this challenge.

Fabrika Fantasy

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Pretty Grafik Design

Prize ~ 1 Image Pack

Kitty Bee Design

Prize ~ 1 Digital Image

Wow just wow!  Our sponsor(s) are the very best.  These prizes are fabulous.  Make sure you go and leave some love for them.  Remember (yes I harp on this) if we don't suppport our sponsor(s), no Crafty Gals Corner Challenge.  Thanks to all my crafties who do!

On to the example for this fortnights challenge.  I am using a fabulous image from Fabrika Fantasy called Little Witch.  This week I had it kinda easy.  This little witch came pre-colored.  So I scanned it into my SCAL 5 program and did a Print & Cut.  Gosh as much as I love coloring, having a colored image really does help time wise.  So I also tried a new card design.  Found it in my files.  Sorry I can't tell you where.

Here is what I came up with.

This is the card closed

Here it is opened.

The card pattern might be a twisted easel card from SCS.  I think she is cute as a button.  Really a fun card to put together.

Thanks for visiting this fortnight.  I do have some exciting news.  My daughter is getting married next friday.  Actually they are celebrating their 10th anniversary by having a ceremony.  So we are all getting dressed up.  It is at a Vineyard with a lot of big douglas fir trees.  Maybe I will have pictures next blog post.

Bright Blessings, 

Challenge #174 3+Layers

Welcome back.  Have you had time to settle in for fall?  I am getting close to saying the heck what the neighbors say and decorating for Halloween.  It's my favorite time of the year.  But first let me show you who our fantastic sponsor(s) are for the new challenge, 3 or more layers.

Digital Delights

Prize:  $5 Gift Certificate

Conie Fong

Prize:  2 Digital Images

Bugaboo Stamps

Prize:  $12 Gift Certificate

WOW!  These sponsors are the best.  Did you see the prizes for this fortnights challenge?  Please Please gang, leave some love.  I say it every week but without the sponsors there really would not be a Crafty Gals Corner Challenge every 2 weeks.  So go visit!

I was really stumped this challenge.  I wanted to create something different than just the usual cards.  I searched through all the cards that I have received through the years.  I came up with this.  But first lets look at the lyrics for this challenge (I wrote down everything I used just for you).

     PC 918 Orange

     Scotch Spray Adhesive

     The bathroom sink for clean-up

See I really do use the sink!  On to my project.  I have the digital stamp 'Fall Dog' provided by the fantstic company Digital Delights.  I absolutely love using this companies images.  So here is what I came up with using 'Fall Dog' (he has a fall scarf and hat).  (pic heavy)

Here is the front

Here the card is open

This is the back

Overall, I like it but the card design needs more work.  Oh well, we have to try new things to continue to be creative.  Now the next challenge is near the end of the month.  So I would imagine it will be anything goes.  But it's close to October and that means...Halloween!

So glad you dropped by.  Leave a comment if you would.  Bright blessings,
