Picnic Time at Digi Haven

Weather permitting ... it's Picnic Time at Digi Haven!  Our challenge will run for 2 weeks so start working on your picnic themed creations!!

Our sponsor for this challenge is MyGrafico and the winner will receive a Digital Image set of their choice!

Here is my first attempt at a pop-up box.  I have to admit, I cheated by using my Silhouette to do the cutting for me!  It has been a long time since I've been able to play with new projects / designs and am tickled with how it turned out.

The images, picnic basket, watermelon and drinking glass were from the Picnic Bear digi set by MyGrafico.  

Make sure to check out the fun creations by our amazing Design Team!

Pots and Pots of Flower Pots

Time for another awesome challenge at Digi Haven!  Our theme is Flowers and Pots and our fab sponsor for this challenge is Lacy Sunshine Stamps where the winner will receive 3 digis of their choice!

I chose to work with Cherry Flower Pot for my card.  I used some crackle glossy accents on the cherry blossoms and think I should have added plain ol' glossy accents throughout the image.

This image is called Love Tart by A Day for Daisies and the sentiment was a freebie from somewhere in blogland.  I used my Copic markers to color the image and added some red stickles to the hearts on the sentiment.  I used my hearts embossing folder, not to self, cut the circles out first then use the embossing folder.  The metal hearts are some jems I got from my iRock tool.

I love this image, Framed Disturbed Snowman from Dilly Beans.  When I colored this image, I really had no paper or layout ideas and while I was looking at it I wasn't sure I liked what I had done ... until I found this paper and ribbon from my stash and now I have to admit I love it.

Fall

It's challenge time over at Digi Haven!  Our theme for this challenge is "Fall" as in Autumn not as in trip and fall!  Our sponsor for this challenge is Floppy Latte and the winner will receive a $6 gift certificate to their store!

This is the first time I have used my pinwheel die and have to say I quite like it!  The paper is Harvest Lane by Simple Stories and the Peace sentiment is from Floppe Latte.  I think next time I will use different papers to show a bit more contract between the background and pinwheel.

Halloween Challenge at Digi Haven

It's Halloween Challenge time at Digi Haven!  I LOVE Halloween and am already planning out my decorations, I just wish my youngest would hurry up and plan his costume.  It was so much easier when they were younger and you just dressed them up in what you wanted them to be!

Okay, on to our challenge ... our sponsor for this challenge is Dilly Beans and Megan has graciously offered to provide the winner with 3 digis of their choice!

This image is Teeghan's Spider Frame 2 by Dilly Beans and I have fun working with this image, there are so many possibilities!  I colored her up with my copic markers then added glossy accents to the bow, spiker and her eyes.  I also added some purple rhinestones over a few of the black dots ... I'm thinking I should have used a brighter color.  The black and green/black dotted ribbon is from my stash, as well as Mr. Skeleton face!  It's kinda hard to see but I stamped "eek" on the bottom of the card and used silver embossing powder ... black just didn't show up very well.

For some wild inspiration, make sure to check out the Digi Haven's Design Team creations, you won't be disappointed!
