Celebration Blog Hop - Delightful Challenges DT


It's a Celebration Blog Hop!   30th June - 1st July

Hello everyone and welcome to the Digital Delights It's a Celebration Blog Hop 30th June -1st July 2011. This is a 2 day hop to help you get through all 30 of our talented designers, collect your letters and enter to win the grand prize! 

If you came here from Tanya's Blog then you are in the right spot! If you have just come across this posting while browsing around in blog land then start at the top at Delightful Challenges Blog so you don't miss all of the amazing projects! 

The theme of this hop is CELEBRATIONS!! At Digital Delights by Louby Loo, we are celebrating the new store! Wendy (aka Louby Loo) just completed the move to a new and improved store! In honor of this, each stop along the way will have a Digital Delights stamp from their project to be given away. There are amazing sponsors for the grand prize at the end.

This is a hop with a different twist as along the hop there are letters to find in the postings - not all blogs have the letters but if you gather all the letters then at the end of the hop on day 2 assemble them to create a Digital Delights related word. You then return to the Digital Delights blog here and enter your name in the inlinks at the bottom of the post (do not reveal the secret word yet). After the hop you will be contacted if you are selected at random--at which point you will be asked to reveal the correct word. 
Now on to my project. 
This week the Delightful Challenges theme is Red White and Blue, I chose to work with Blast off Billy and make a slightly different Easel card,  I used a a stars embossing plate on Core D' inations card which I sanded and mounted onto a diamond shaped easel card, the image is coloured with promarkers and some areas highlighted with Sakura Glitter Glaze pens

Penguins - Bah! Humbug! GDT

I can't believe i'm on my final week as GD for Bah! Humbug! over at Humbug Hall, it's been such fun , I don't know where the month went it's just flown by.  I'll soon have to pack my bags ready to go home.  My wing at the hall has been very warm and humid lately.  Even after all these years of card making I still find it quite weird making Christmas cards at 5am ( too hot to sleep) in cropped trousers and t shirt and watching the day arrive.

This week I'm using images and papers from a Debbi Moore CD called Penguin Fun.  My fancy fold is inspired from another Debbi Moore product, I've added some glitter in the form of my Sakura Sparkle pens and some stars from my stash.

Challenges:
christmas cards all year round

Mittens & Scarves - Bah! Humbug! GD

Woohoo it's Friday, can't believe i'm already on my 3rd week as GD over at Bah! Humbug!.  The ladies at Humbug Hall are looking for "Scarves and Mittens" this week, I know the weather's not always that great up there, but I reckon scarves and mittens might be a bit too much right now!!  My little offering is an easel card, poor Mr Snowman was feeling the cold and has his scarves and mittens on.  The image and BP's are both from Joanna Sheens Chrismas Creations CD, I used this for several cards last Christmas and this image was one of my all time favourites, the snowflake border was made using an MS punch, although it doesn't show up I also used a Sakura sparkle pen on the image.

Teenagers Card - Bah! Humbug! GDT

It's time for my 2nd GDT card already over at Bah! Humbug!   This week the ladies over at Humbug Hall are after a card for a teenager, I found this theme quite hard, not having or being in touch with any teenagers, I'm not sure what teenagers would think of as a cool christmas card, so this my take on the theme. The images and papers are from MCS Christmas Sparkle CD, the snowflakes were made with an MS punch from pink linen effect mirri, I used my ever favourite centura pearl base card made into a centre stepper card and highlighted some areas with a Sakura clear glitter pen.

Surprise Surprise !! - Bah! Humbug! GDT

Two Surprises, 1st one is I have been lucky to be selected for a GDT spot for the month of June over at Humbug Hall which I am so excited about.  

The 2nd one is the theme for this week over at Bah! Humbug! the humbug ladies would love to see your Christmas projects this week "containing or hiding a surprise".  

Despite my best intentions to make a christmas card each week this year, I've been overtaken by various events recently and haven't managed to make one for weeks now, so it's good that I get to make some over the next 4 weeks. 

Here's mine for this week I hope you like it. It would be lovely if you join us this week, you know it makes sense to get a good head start on all those Christmas cards
My image and papers came from the Crafters Companion Popcorn range, embossed card is from my stash, the holly and berries were cut and embossed from mirri using my Marianne Creatables dies.
