Sneak Peek Digital Delights new releases tomorrow!

Tomorrow is release day at Digital Delights. Wendy has produced some really gorgeous digi images that you are just gonna love. Here's a sneak peek of the fabby image I used.
Come back tomorrow to see the whole card, and find out about the next challenge at Delightful Sketches.

Thanks for the well wishes about my tooth incident. It's feeling a little better today although still painful and swollen, but I've finished the antibiotics now, so just hoping the infection doesn't flare up again. This has just made me even worse about visiting the dentist. It was bad enough this time, I was shaking from head to toe before she even started doing anything!

Digital Delights is having a party!

Digital Delights is hosting our first ever Digi Day on SNR Card Universe!!!

We are having a PARTY!!!!
A COOKIE EXCHANGE PARTY!!!

Join us Thursday November 12th from 7PM- 8PM (CST) 1AM UK in the Digital Delights Group at SNR.
Bring your favorite holiday sweet treat recipes to share during the event. Some members of the DT will be there, and everyone will have lots of fun.

Everyone that comes to the party will receive a FREE image from Digital Delights. I can't tell you what the image is, because that's a secret...but it's fabbylicious.

We also have a challenge for you. Go and get the adorable cookie image I've used on my card FREE here, use it to make anything you like, then upload it to the SNR Gallery and TAG IT cookiedelights09. Make sure your entry is in before midnight (CST) on Friday 13th November and you will be entered into a draw for a fantastic prize comprising of all the new November releases, plus everything in the pic above.
For my card, I've coloured the adorable cookie image with pro-markers, then 3D'd the bows, and added pink gems in the middle. For the icing I've coated it with glossy accents. I've added raffia along the centre, and a pink bow with pins. Dp is Scrapworks, Skinny collection. A sentiment will be added at a later date.

Don't forget to grab the Friday Freebie, Cappuccino Pippin, without the watermark from SNR or PCP.

I'm going to enter my card into a couple of challenges:
1. Crafty Cardmakers #7 - Stamp Something
2. The Pink Elephant #39 - Brown, Yellow, Neutral and Colour of your choice. (pink)

I ♥ Promarkers Challenge 5 for November

It's time for our November Challenge, Sketch #5 at I ♥ ProMarkers. We have a fabulous sketch by Sharon to follow, and a wonderful prize of another bespoke collection of ProMarkers and pad from Letraset.
For my card I've used Peachy Tilda with the matching Peaches and Peachy Dots papers, all from Tracy at Dies to Die For. I've coloured Tilda with soft peach and peach, pastel green, soft green, cocoa, caramel, tan, almond, blush and sunkissed pink. She's layered on green and orange/peach oval mats. All papers have also been layered on same cs. Added a chipboard sentiment and some beads all on white 6 x 6" DCWV Jewel cs. Please take a look at the stunning cards from the rest of the DT.
Could all entries be in for 30th November, the finalist will be announced 1st December and the winner and new challenge will be posted on the 2nd December.

I will be back later with some news of a digi party, as well as our Friday Freebie (a real cutie this week) from Digital Delights.

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge No.24

Time for a new Challenge at C.R.A.F.T. and "Bonfire Night" seems appropriate - but we have been kind and added the options of fireworks and Celebration (which could really cover just about everything!)
This weeks winner will recieve a fab selection of quality die-cuts from Susie of Die Cut Dreams. Pop by her shop - she has lots of other crafting goodies aswell.
For my card I found a picture of fireworks on one of those colouring in sites (by Elizabeth Dulemba). I've coloured the image, added glossy accents and some gold glitter. Round the outside is black soot distress ink. The background is a mixture of pearly pens and starburst stains, all stamped over the top and mounted on a black 6 x 6" card.
This was way out of my comfort zone, but you can just make a celebration card. My card actually looks quite nice in real life with all the shine and glitter, but none of this comes across in the picture I'm afraid.
Please enter new work only by 8pm next Wednesday.

Sorry I'm so late with my posts today, I have a sick son at home, and I've just managed to settle him down.

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge No.23 Halloween

This week's challenge at C.R.A.F.T. is Halloween, we had to do it at some point. I love Halloween, trick or treating with my 8 year old all dressed up, and the weather starting to get colder, going into late Autumn.
For my card I've used a spooky house digi image from Digital Delights, coloured it with pro-markers in oranges and greys/black, and added some orange gems to the top. I've used the pumpkin Cuttlebug embossing folder, distressed it, then added spiced marmalade Distress ink to it. The pumpkin image is stamped, cut out, then framed with a metal embellishment. The spooky stamp is stamped with black soot Distress ink and I've added bits of it around the word to make it look more 'spooky'. The DP is MME Boo to you.
The prize this week at C.R.A.F.T. is a lovely digi stamp and digi backing paper from Gina at Your Special Delivery.
I'm also entering this card into a few challenges:
1. Stamp Something - Halloween
2. Daring Cardmakers - These are a few of my favourite things, to use at least 5 of your favourite things. Ok, my favourite things are Cuttlebug embossing folders, square cards, gems, the colour orange, metal embellishments and lastly digi images from Digital Delights. (that's 6, I added an extra incase any of them don't count).
3. Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge - orange and 1 other colour. I've used shades of oranges and greys.
4. Crazy For Challenges week 8 - It's all geometric - use at least 3 different shaspes. I've used a square, rectangle, oval and circle.
5. The Pink Elephant - the colour black, hardware and distressing. I've distressed the embossing and used a metal embellishment.
6. Cuttlebug Be Inspire #55 - to create something with your 'favourite' on it. I've listed my favourite things already, but will add again that it's my favourite colour orange and my favourite time of year.

Delightful Sketch 10

It's time for sketch #10 at Delightful Sketches today. The prize is a fabulous $15 store gift certificate for Embellish It The DT have all made creations using the sketch and the new releases. My card was shown yesterday, but I'll pop it on again today, and go through what I did and used.
Dps are MME and K&Co, images are the new releases of Santa Ridley and the fireplace coloured with promarkers, and a little stickles added to the flames. I've added Santa Ridley with silicone to give him a bit of dimension in front of the fireplace. The poinsettia and leaves are by Prima, to which I've added some gold pearls in the centre. Green ribbon is Anna Griffin, gold ribbon from stash. Faux stitching is a stamp, as is the sentiment, which I tried to curve a bit to stamp. All on an A4 card.
Hope to see you join us, the challenge will last a fortnight, and you can use any image, it doesn't have to be from Digital Delights, but would be lovely if it was.
Please pop by Digital Delights as Wendy is previewing some of her new rubber stamps. The set is called Billy and Maggie Carolers and will be available from Clear Dollar Stamps on November 1st.

The Crafty Pad Challenge 43

It's my last week as GDT at The Crafty Pad, so I want to say thanks to Debbie for the opportunity to work with a group of lovely girls for the last month, and hope you've been happy with my cards.
Onto this week's challenge which is Autumn. We were given the umbrella stand stamp, and leaves to work with. I've used brown 6 x 6" bazzill cs, dps are punched with a Martha Stewart scallop punch, embellishments and ribbon from stash. I coloured the umbrella with lime green stickles, and added some to the leaves.
The prize is 1 week GDT at The Crafty Pad and a stamp the DT will be working with.

Freebie Friday at Digital Delights Mr Christmoose

We have 2 delightful Christmas freebies this week at Digital Delights. Mr Christmoose is such a lovely, fun image. Go grab yours while he's available. While you're there, look at some of the fab creations using him, by some of the design team.

Why not enter Delightful Sketches #9 with him? The prize is a fantastic $20 gift certificate to spend at The Ribbon Retreat. You've still got a few days to get your entries in.

Also, join us on Paper Craft Planet. Once we get to 100 followers, there's going to be a draw for a fabby prize. I'll let you go find out for yourselves what the prize is.

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge No.22

The challenge this week at C.R.A.F.T. is Anniversary. We love to see all sorts of creations - atc's, cards, scrapbooking, gifts.....just whatever new that you can create with an Anniversary theme. We have a fantastic prize this week of 6 promarkers, and what is even better is that the winner can choose their own colours - great if you are adding to an existing set! Providing this prize is Craft Obsessions who stock an extensive range of crafting goodies.

For my DT card I've done something different. I printed out an image and backing paper from My Craft Studio, decoupaged the image and added glaze to the cats and the moon. The sentiments are stamped with blue versafine and embossed. I've inked the edges of everything, and punched a heart from the bp to add to the top. Other items used are a Martha Stewart punch, blue card, white A5 cs, clear gems and ribbon from stash, and lastly a blue crochet flower. I'm not sure whether I like it or not, I suppose because it's a different style to my norm.

Please have new entries only, in by 8pm next Wednesday to be in the draw for the promarkers. Wish i could enter this one.
