Fins and Feathers using a FREE digi image

Welcome to my blog today and so sorry to be posting late.

With our new format at Digi Haven I was confused... 

Not because I'm over 50, but because it's Denise's fault, I'm positive it is :)

Anyway, today is the start of the first 2 week (fortnight) challenge.

This challenge begins today, Friday 09.07.12 and will end on Thursday 09.20.12

Use any "FREE" digi image for our "Fins and Feathers" challenge,

You can use a "FOREVER", "LIMITED" or "FREEBIE OF THE MONTH" free image on your card,

as longs as it is available as a freebie throughout the duration of this challenge.

My card today is using a FISH freebie from SKdigis which you can find HERE

 

My card Recipe:

 

My card base is Navy 3-1/2" x 8"

I layered with pattern paper from Little Yellow Bicycle 6" x 6" paper pad -  SPLASH

Cut a 2-1/2" white cardstock circle and added the colored and cut out fish/bubbles on top

Stamped the Hello (from CTMH) in black and created a banner

 

Finishing touches:

Tied a Navy grosgrain ribbon/bow around center

added tiny white adhesive pearls to the little circles on the fish

 

So visit Digi Haven and be inspired by the rest of the Desgin Team and play along with us.

I look forward to seeing your creations.

 

I also have another challenge for you...

 

...I am also a part of the SKdigis Design Team and we are having a Blog Hop

 

 

So, I am challenging my followers to play along with Digi Haven's "Fins and Feathers" challenge,

using the free image from SKdigis Challenge Blog found HERE and enter that the "Anything Goes" challenge challenge at SKdigis Challenge Blog as well

Another SKdigis card

I think this little bug from SKdigis is just too cute! 

You can find him in the shop HERE

Because SKdigis is having a week long Blog Hop and Challenge,

 I wanted to share another card with you today.

 

 

I added little googly eyes, which I think makes him even more cute!

 

There is still plenty of time to join in the Blog Hop, create a card and enter into the first challenge.
