Dare to be Sassy Thursday

It's Thursday again, that means time for a Dare to be Sassy Thursday challenge at Sassy Studio Designs. Our challenge this week is to make a card or project without any patterned paper. You don't need to use a SSD image to enter, but you get two chances if you do. Hope you will check out the DT creations and play along!

Friends of ours are celebrating the Hindu holiday Diwali right now and I wanted to make them a card. I knew I would use my SSD India Honey image for it. I was looking for a sentiment and planning to computer generate one, when I though about Create with TLC. When I didn't see one in the store, I emailed Paulette to see if she had anything. She didn't, but offered to create a set! How cool and kind of her is that???!!! I was floored, the set is so much better than I could have dreamed of, check it out here. What a nice and special thing for her to do. I know I will come back to this set again and again. 


My sketch comes from Cupcake Craft Challenge #218.

Corrosive Challenge

Happy Sunday! It's time for another Corrosive Challenge. The theme this go around is Flutter By. Use an image with wings. We have a really great sponsor for November, A Day For Daisies! Tammy has the sweetest collection of whimsical images and she graciously allowed the DT to select an image to use (I'm going to be using my selected image next challenge). This fun image I've had for a while printed out and ready to be colored, since I was short on time this week, I decided to use it. Isn't she gorgeous? I love snow globes and this pretty fairy in her globe is just fabulous. She is called Growing in a Snow Globe. Play along for the chance to win a prize from ADFD!

My sketch is for the challenge over at Sketch N Stash, challenge #100. You can pick any of the previous sketches from their sketch catalog to use this time. I went with sketch #7. My new item is the patterned paper, and my stash is my older image and assortment of WOC flowers.

Emma Canning Monthly challenge

So glad to be home again. I'm sure most of you have seen and heard about all the damage from Hurricane Sandy in NY and NJ. Thank goodness we were spared from major damage, so many people lost their homes and everything, it's so sad. We just had some down tree limbs and loss of power for 9 days. We took the kids to my inlaws house, since it was too cold to stay here. I haven't been around blogland or on my own blog for the past two weeks because of this. But I'm back! It feels good to get crafty again and back to normal. Nice to have power and heat too!

I missed posting this card for November 1st over at the Flat Friends Challenge Blog, the second monthly challenge is up! The challenges will run monthly and the prize is four Flat Friends digi images to one random winner. You can find all the details on the challenge blog. 

If you haven't seen these fun images from Emma Canning yet, check them out at Polka Doodles, they are just so cute and hip and fun to color.

Our challenge is Dots and Stripes. Here is a cute little graphic from Emma to inspire you.

For my card I used the Christmas Camper image. I love this cute little VW van. So retro and fun. 

Pop on over to the Flat Friends Challenge blog and check out the creations from my design teamies (I've had a peek and they are amazing). Hope you will take some time to play along, you've got the whole month!
