Alot of Sharing today...with 3 Freebie images

I rarely have the opportunity to create cards just for FUN

With full time work, social life, training for a Half Marathon...what's a girl to do?

These demands just get in the way of my CREATIVE PLAYTIME

So again I ask...what's a girl to do? 

Answer...Why have a marathon card making afternoon of course

 

And now I have three cards to share with you today, that I created just for FUN!

 

I hope you will enjoy them

 

The first one is for the monthly Birdie Brown September "FREEBIE" & Challenge

 

 

I love the images at Birdie Brown and this Pumpkin BOO is just too CUTE!

You still have time to play along and grab this Freebie before the end of September

My card is a 4" x 4"

Papers from Doodlebug Design, Inc. - 6 x 6 pad - Haunted Manor

Copic markers:  YG23, YG41, G07, Y17, YR04, YR07, E33, E35

I finished the card with a scalloped edge, lavender ribbon/bow and goggle eyes

 

The next card is for September Stamp of the Month Challenge over at From the Heart Stamps

The image is called Bobbing for Apples and this is a progressive challenge which means:

If you play along this month, you will receive the next months image FREE

 

BTW the image comes with or without a background fence

 

This card is a 5.5" x 5.5" card

Papers used are from my stash and I do not remember the company

Copic markers used: E00, E11, E31, E35, B05, B12, C5, C7, B60, G02, G07, R11, R27, R29, R59

Finished the card with Green Grosgrain ribbon/bow, apple punches, metal tag and red safety pin

The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom

 

And now for my final card to share today...This one is for SKdigis Linking Party

 

 

This image is called Kitty Peekaboo and is a freebie this month

 

I was inspired by this sketch at Krafty Hands

However, to play along there, you need to use one of their products, which I do not have

But I love this sketch and wanted to use it anyway

 

This is also a 5.5" x 5.5" card

Papers from Doodlebug Designs - 6 x 6 pad - Flower Box

Copic markers:  Y00, Y06, Y15, RV13, R00, YG00, YG23, E21

I really appreciate you stopping by today and taking a peek

Kevin's Sketch

 

For my card I used the following Copic markers to color my nest:

Bird and branch chipwood laser die cuts from Quick Quotes - Bag O'Chips - Birds

I sponged the die cuts using Chocolate ink

Sentiment from old CTMH - D136 Thank You set

Finished the card with ribbon, two brown buttons with cream floss in the center

Challenges I have entered this card into:
Beccy's Place - September Challenge

Sea Life Challenge with Digi Haven

Today brings a new fortnight challenge at DIGI HAVEN 

Our theme for this challenge is...

 

SEA LIFE

 

 

I chose Miss Beauty to work with for this challenge from Our Sponsor...Digi Stamps 4 Joy

 

 

My card is a 6 x 6 card



 

I colored the image using my Copic markers in the following colors: Y02, Y04, YR20, Y11

 

Designer paper from Little Yellow Bicycle - 6 x 6 pad - SPLASH

 

I used Cricut cartridge - Elegant Edges to cut my circle at 5"

(sorry not at home, posting from my dad's house, so I can't tell you which page and image)

 

Sentiment from Birdie Brown (NOTE: freebie from July, also a Dolphin - still up on the blog)

 

I was inspired by the little shell, sequin, bead mix I had in my stash

I so wanted to make a shaker card - the shells were a little to big to be a part of the shaking mix

I also had a bit of trouble with the idea in my head, translating to paper

So frustrating when that happens, but it's all GOOD now :)

I hope you like my finished card

 

I invite you to join us for this challenge
