C4C30 - Sketch With Pippin!

Happy Saturday!!! I'm on vacation at my parents in Saskatchewan right now with my family, but was actually organized enough to get this post done BEFORE I left! However...this will probably be it until I get home next weekend!

Before we get onto today's challenge, I just wanted to update you on some changes that are happening with the C4C design team. Jessica Diedrich and Robin Willis have both bade farewell to us due to other commitments. While we are sad to have them go, we understand and wish them both all the best.

This week also the sees the start of a brand new Design Team member Silke Kittmann. Welcome to the team Silke!

Our sponsor again this week is:

Digital Delights by Louby Loo

And here is our AWESOME sketch from the Fabulous Barbara Anders!

If you would like to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C30. Don't forget to head back to the C4C Blog and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.


Digital Delights were kind enough to send us all an image to play with...I couldn't resist the sweet lil' Cappacino Pippin!!

I colored Pippin up with some Copics and used some liquid applique in his cappacino! The paper is from Pink Paislee!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop in! Please scroll down to find another fun challenge for today!

OCC - March Sketch Challenge

Silke Ledlow has another fantastic challenge for this week over at Our Creative Corner!! Check out this awesome sketch:

I decided to use this June Ruby image from Bugaboo Digi Stamps!! You see...she kind of reminds me of what I might look like about a month from now!! My 'husband' and I are FINALLY, after 10 years, 2 children, and a couple of houses, going to Vegas to make it official!

Doesn't she look like a Vegas bride all decked out in her shades?!



She's such a sassy lookin' lady I figured she needed a sassy sentiment so I thought this one up myself...not that I actually feel that way though!! ;-D

Both of those polka dot papers are from SU!

We hope you'll paly along with us over at Our Creative Corner and be sure to leave a link to your creation using Mr.Linky on the OCC Blog! If you upload to SCS or any other on-line gallery use Keyword OCCC!

Thanks so much for stoppin' by!!

The wonderful 'Crazy', Barbara Anders, has another fun challenge for us over at the Crazy 4 Challenges blog- Signs Of Spring!!

We also have a brand new Sponsor this week!!

Digital Delights by Louby Loo

Be sure to play along with us for your chance to win the wonderful Prize that Louby Loo has for us!!! Stay tuned next week to see the AWESOME image they gave me to use...he's absolutely ADORABLE!!!

For this week, I needed a 'Spring-y' image and I just recieved this fun set from CTMH! It's called Love You Forever...based on the best Children's book EVER, by Robert Munsch! LOVE this one...I even have TWO copies of it! (one hard cover that is put away and one that the kids and I read together!)

I paper pieced the entire image. Most of the papers are from the Pad that was in SU! S-A-B catalogue!! I used a marker for all the 'stitching!!

The inside of this has the sentiment
"I'll love you forver,
I'll like you for always,
as long as I'm living
my baby you'll be!"

Be sure to play along and leave a link at the C4C Blog and if you upload to any on-line galleries use Keyword C4C29!

C4C28 - King Of The Grill!

Our CRAZY Hostess this week, Barbara - Paper Pursuits, has challenged us to make a Masculine Card!!! I can always use more guy cards in my stash...and Father's Day isn't really that far away so I was glad to have a good excuse to make a 'man' card!!

If you'd like to join us this week please leave a link to your card over at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog using Mr.Linky and if you upload to SCS used Keyword C4C28!

I decided to pull out my BBQ Riley for my Guy Card!

I colored him up with some Copics! The sentiment is computer generated and the crown is chipboard that I embossed with some gold ep!! That brown gingham dp is from Pink Paislee...LOVE their new paper line!!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and if you're up for another challenge today, scroll down to see what the OCC is up to!!

OCC Color Challenge - COffee Brawd!

Our OCC Hostess, Silke Ledlow has come up with this FABULOUS color combo for us all to play with this week!!

I think Silke has a Mystery Prize up for grabs this week as well...so be sure to play along and leave a link to your card or project on the Our Creative Corner Blog using Mr.Linky!

Here is my take on the colors! I used the Brand New Coffee Brawd from
Totally Stampalicious!

I used some textured paper from Bazzill Basics to mimic the dp! (which I have had in my stash for YEARS!!!) I used it to paper piece her robe as well and it kind of gave it a 'terry cloth' look!! The flowers and leaves were die cut from my Sizzix Sizzlets!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by!!
