Jump for Joy at with Digi Darla

I recenty had the pleasure of winning some adorable digi stamps from Digi Darla and I'm in love.  (Lots of KITTIES, among others, and you KNOW how I love me some KITTIES!) I'm just in time to enter their current Anything Goes Challenge w/ the optional Twist: Hop, Skip or Jump.  Thought I'd try for the "twist" and chose Aviator Kitty 7 (EEK!  so cute!)  He's colored with Copics, fussy cut and popped on what I thought was THE PERFECT DP by Heidi Grace.  Wow! this card almost made itself.  The card is 4x8 1/2" to get all the fab details in the DP.  Kinda fun and unexpected, don'tcha think?  The sentiment was computer generated in coordinating paper from the stack.  All I added then were some buttons.

And don't faint, I actually finished the inside!  Although I think this would be a perfect birthday card for a boy, I used a more generic sentiment just in case another occasion pops up.  I can always hand write the birthday greeting.  I even had some matching (ancient) Heidi Grace rub-ons to jazz it up a bit.  I'm pretty tickled at how this all worked out and I'll be perusing more of that DP to use with other DD digi's because I think they were MFEO.  Don't you?  Have a great weekend!

I'm also adding this to the TTRCD anything Goes Challenge Sept 17-23rd, Cutie Pie Challenges A Cute One for the Boys, and the ABC Challenge V is for Very Cute.

Simply Steampunk Clocks and Timepieces

Woohoo, it's time for another challenge at Simply Steampunk and that's exactly it:  TIME.  We want to see clocks or timepices on your projects.  I call my piece, Cherish Every Moment Because Time Flies, using the adorable Jude from the Robert's Family Portraits Release.  Wanted to do a little staging here, with antique toys, a memory of how quickly children grow up.

I've assembled a faux watch using pieces from Tim Holtz.  Thought it would be fun to do something a bit different, for a change.  Jude is colored with Copics and captured in the pocketwatch.  The watch fob incorporates additional Steampunk embellishments.  The team has done an outstanding job so be sure to visit them HERE, at Simply Steampunk.  Remember, you must use an SBS Steampunk image to be considered for a prize but hopefully you snagged either a Freebie from our release hop or took advantage of the fabulous sale over the Memorial Day weekend.  We can't wait to see what you come up with.

I'm also entering this in the C.R.A.F.T. Anything but a Card Challenge, The Happy Campers Use Metal Challenge, Digi Stamps 4 Joy "Oh to be Young Again" Challenge, Pink by Design Anything but a Card Boys, boys, Boys Challenge, Simon Says Stamp Masculine, Simon Says Stamp and Show Brought to You by the Letter "S" (Steampunk) and Digi Darla's Make it Masculine Challenge.
