Sweet Sentiment: challenge

Showing posts with label challenge. Show all posts

Hello Mummy!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm obsessed with Egyptian mythology and history. I just love all the tales that they wove and the vibrant and mysterious culture that they thrived in. So, when given the choice to pick any image int he shop to participate in the Scrapper's Delights Blog Challenge.... well.... naturally I chose this awesome Mummy!!!!!!

I colored her up using my Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils on Sweet Sentiment Premium Coloring Paper. I also made the flowers by hand using Heartfelt Creations Sweet Peony and Sunflower stamps and dies. The flowers are tinted with Distress Oxide inks, as well as the background for the Mummy. The papers are just random scraps I had in my HUGE scrap tub, and the ribbon was from he dollar store.

I had so much fun coloring this awesome Mummy Digi..... I mean, how fun. I will admit that the sentiment is from the "Egypt" set from Kindred Stamps.

I do believe you all should join in the challenge and check out the Blog over at Scrapper's Delights! Here's the link: https://www.scrappersdelights.co.uk/challenge-blog?fbclid=IwAR217R-ILa_jFIMJpj92N6KvXyWXs_eUkQSolbcdvZWQb-jtfcgYHuOGYfE#/ (holy long link batman!)

you can grab the mummy digi here: https://www.scrappersdelights.co.uk/store/p149/The_Mummy.html#/

Hope you all enjoyed this mummy card, I'll see you all soon! Tootles!

What would you doooo oooo oooo for a Klondike Bar?

Tell me you read that title in the famous sing song voice of their catchy jingle? If not, go back and read the title again.... I'll wait here......

Ok, we good now?

Well, this image was the feature image (from Scrappers Delights) for the Sweet Sentiment 1000 member party last week, and I think it's just so fun!!!! I love this little "trash panda"and the expression on his face. I actually made this card for the brand new sketch challenge that is being released today in the Sweet Sentiment Facebook Group!

And here's the inside:

Yeah..... I know what you did! But I get it, Klondike bars are delicious!!! hahahaha My favorite is the Mint one..... oh man, so much yum! Anyways.... the image is from Scrappers delights and you can grab it in digital form in their store by clicking here. I colored her up with my copic markers which I will list below.

Sketch Challenge

Hello all,

We still have that awesome Sketch challenge going on over int he FaceBook Group, Here's the link to the group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SweetSentiment/

The sketch is open to all who want to enter, you are only limited to 3 entries. Here's what it looks like.

Use this to loosely base your layout on as it does not have to be exact. You can enter cards, planner layouts, Scrapbook layouts, anything you like. Just make sure that we can somehow see that you have used the elements of this sketch.

Here are a couple examples of cards I made for the sketch challenge:

I just adore using sketches when my creative mojo is on hiatus. They really get me in the mood to craft and are a great place to start when you're feeling less than creative.

All entries are due no later than July 9th into the album in the Sweet Sentiment Group. A winner will be chosen at random and posted on July 10th with the NEW sketch challenge. The winner will receive a package of the amazing new Sweet Sentiment Coloring Paper as their prize! Hooray!

I cannot wait to see what you all create! Have fun! Tootles!!!

12 days of coloring challenge: Spring edition

Hello all!

One of the Sponsors of Sweet Sentiment has issued a challenge..... and of course, I accepted! Some Odd Girl is the sponsor of the May class and they are challenging all of their followers to color something for 12 days straight. It could be 12 days of working on the same project, or 12 different things, just so that you color for 12 consecutive days! Here's the banner...

So, I sat down today and colored a digi that I've been wanting to color for a long time!

I seriously love this digi. I think that it is so adorable and super versatile. It could be used for a whole plethora of things. Today, a snarky "miss you" card. I use the term "snarky" because, check out the inside...

So I printed the Image on Catherine Pooler 100 lb marker paper and colored her with the following Copic Markers:

Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

Hair: 100, C9, C7, B24, C5

Scarf: B99, B97, B95, B93, B91

Sweater: R59, R29, R27, R17, R22, N4, N3, N2, N1, N0

Eyes: B18, YG97, Y17, E57, G00, C2

Sky: BG02, B01, B00

Hills: G03, G82, YG93, YG63, YG25, YG03, YG00, G40

The Cloud Dies are from Lawn Fawn, and the DSP is from simple stories and Doodlebug. I also used Distress Oxide Ink in Hickory Smoke on some of the clouds and around the outside of the colored image.

Well, this puts day one of the coloring challenge in the books! I'm off to a good start! Hopefully I can keep it going. Talk to you all later! Tootles!

TGF Single Layer

It has been a long long long (very long) time since I have entered a challenge over at The Greeting Farm. ..... and since I got new pencils and a new TGF set... I figured what the heck....why not!?!? I surfed on over to their blog and figured out that the challenge was single layer cards...... wow.... seriously?

THIS is really gunna be a challenge for me.... like REALLY challenging! Those of you who know me know that I layer my cards... A LOT!!! I Love DSP and layers and more layers and then perhaps just another layer..... so... deep sigh.... here I go....

I stamped the Image, colored it in, threw it away, stamped it again, colored it in.... tossed it again.... hehehehe this happened once more and then I got smart... I stamped the Image, Stamped a mask, did the cool Oxide Ink background thing, spritzed it with water, blotted it, let it dry, then set to coloring.

Ok, so pencils are new to me, I have... wait for it... 20!!!! Awe yeah baby! A whole 20 pencils... but I love all 20 of them (and the rest of the set will be here tomorrow)! I colored the sweet little nurse and steeled myself as I put this one, single, layer on the card base. Then I stepped back..... and smiled..... OMG I LOVE IT!!!!!!

I added some clear, glittery, Nuvo drops and the sentiment (then let it dry). I'm so so so so glad I did this, I could really learn to love these single layer cards! Hooray for challenges that make you think, and make you reach outside of your comfort zone! I'm so excited!

Thanks for checking in, have a wonderful Turkey day! Tootles!

Fall is in the air

Hey hey hey Crafty People!!!! It's SATURDAY!!!!!!

That means it's time for a themed challenge... this week's theme is Fall colors. To some people that's rich tones of reds and oranges, and to others it's soft washed out yellows and tans.... whatever it means to you, make a card (or other project) and show us your "fall colors."

Sp, without further adieu, here's my Fall colors.

One of my sweetest friends asked me to make a card to congratulate her brother on getting engaged! She sent me a photo of the couple and I modified the stamped image (Let's Celebrate) a tad to fit the subjects. He is well known for his super full goatee and she has amazingly beautiful chocolate colored hair. I had a lot of fun color these two up and dressing them in soft fall colors for their engagement.

Ok, so.... October Peeks start on Wednesday!! Visit us on our FB Page or here to join in the "Merry Celebration"!

ALSO: It's our Anniversary! Kraftin Kimmie is celebrating 8 years in October and to celebrate we're doubling the Frugal Friday Fun! Every Friday during the month of October, Kimmie will be posting 8 Krafty Sets for 40% off!!

Spooky clouds

SO, let's get down to the good stuff shall we? The theme this week is.... Distress Inks! Since I've just been getting my feet wet with the distress ink thing, I thought this would be a super fun challenge to join in on! Here's my creation:

I used black soot distress ink and a sponge to get the cloud effect in the background of little miss Witchy-Poo here. I colored her up with my Copics and cut her out using a stitched circle die from Gina Marie Designs. I even added a few glittery Nuvo Drops! Oh so fancy!

Well, I hop to see you joining on the fun this week! Post your awesome creations so we can all see! Have a wonderful weekend! Tootles!

Wait... NOT a card?

Every month there is a Krafty Scrappy challenge that is "anything but a card." We all know that I have a lot of trouble doing this.... like A LOT! I mean, I make cards, that 's what I do. So when you tell me to make something that 's not a card... I instantly question our friendship...... but....

Ok, so my second love, is my planner! Yeah I'm one of "those" people. I love the tangible. I don't put dates and appointments and stuff like that in my phone, I like to have it on paper. .....DUHHHHH Jammie, you dork (yeah I call myself names), make a darn planner layout! Sheesh!

Ok, so I used distress inks and a sponge with a stencil to make the could background. I stamped the trolls on coloring card stock and colored them up all bright and fun to go with the colouds. I added some stickers and Washi tape, this is obviously BEFORE i wrote in everything that I have to do this week. But you get the idea!

Here's the deets on the challenge:

1. Create ANY scrap page, Project Life Layout or pocket page cards, altered item, etc. JUST NOT A CARD!
2. MUST be a NEW creation (created on or after this post date)
3. MUST use Kraftin Kimmie stamps to be entered in to the drawing.
4. You have a month to play, enter AS MANY TIMES as you'd like!
5. PRIZES?!? Of course there are prizes!! Once we've reached 5 entries, we draw a random winner (winner will be drawn at the close of the challenge)!!
6. You have until Monday, September 25th @ 12:00 pm Eastern to get your entries in.
7. Be sure to also share your creations on our Krafty Friends FB page so we can all drool and OOHHHH and AHHHHH!

So, yeah, it's NOT a card! Hooray for me! Now let's see what ya got! Make something other than a card and enter the challenge! I can't wait to see what you make! Tootles!

T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Ermergersh I love this set! Ok, yeah seriously, I adore these sweet little trolls! How stinking cute are they?!?!?!?!? This is day 2 of the Release at KKS and I think this is the cutest set of stamps ever!!!! Here's the set: (it's called Troll Trouble)

...and here's my card:

To make this card I cut a bunch of circles using a Gina Marie die called Stitched Circles and then I used some Doodlebug paper and satin ribbon. I also used about 5000 pop dots to add a bunch of dimension to this card. Super fun and so bright! EEEEKKKK! Love them!

Ok, so once you get over how cute they are, hop around to all of the DT's and GDT's blogs and leave some love! One lucky comment will win a big ol prize on release day! Woot Woot! Tootles!

Nerds are BACK!

Ok, ok, ok... those of you who know me well know that I'm a total nerd. When it comes to a lot of things I completely Nerd out. But, even in school I was a complete nerd. I did the homework of most of our high school class over the weekend because they were all out partying and i was cracking the books. Seriously, I loved it... I knew that I was good at it, so I enjoyed doing it. Writing papers and solving math equations, learning a new language, it was all just fascinating to me. So, when Kimmie posted that the Nerd set was coming back, I squealed with delight!

Wonderful (social) Wednesday

Man alive I spend a lot of time on Social Media... like my phone is permanently glued to my hand and my laptop is always near. It's nice to unplug every once in a while, but I really miss all of my friends when I do "unplug." It's just the society we live in today, don't fight it.... it's all gunna be ok.

With all of that being said, I was inspired to use little Miss Social Sally today for my anything goes card for the very last Wonderful Wednesday of the month. I can't believe that July is gone and August is upon us. Soon the kids will be going back to school and the grind of the "normal" will be back upon us. I'm sooooo excited! ha ha ha!

Ok, so here's what I did;

This card is 5x7 and I used The Paper Studios pink textured card stock, the black and white layers are Recollections card stock. The yellow was a scrap, I have no clue what it is! Ha ha ha, just keepin' it real! The DSP is from Echo Park and I Adore it!!! I took the sentiments that came with the Social Sally stamp and inked them and put them inside all of the little thought bubbles. Then the flowers are of course from Wild Orchid Crafts. Gosh I love their flowers! That funky paperclip I got at Wal Mart like 2 years ago, they were on clearance and I thought they were super neat! I colored up Sally with my copic on Express-it blending stock. Here's the colors:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

Ok, I need more coffee, and I gotta find my phone, oh there it is, on my desk, next to my computer.... sheesh.... yeah, I NEED more coffee! hahahaha! Tootles!

I know, I know, I know... BAH HUMBUG!

But seriously people, everyone is already doing that Christmas in July thing... we're forgetting something seriously important here.... HALLOWEEN!

I HATED going out and going Trick-or-treating. Just wasn't my thing. So, in what was did I love halloween? I'll explain, ...... DUDE..... It's the one day a year that you get to all out dress up for no good reason and spend the entire day as something totally fictional! How is that not the MOST AWESOME THING EVER?!?!?!?!?!?

So, with all of that tangent off of my chest... let's get to the card shall we? He he he! So, it's Wonderful Wednesday and that means time for an ANYTHING GOES challenge over at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. I love anything goes challenges because you can really show off your creativity!

No, really, that's it.... you can use them however you want, be they real, or drawn or implied.... whatever's clever!

Here's what I did..... I happened to do a live color along in the Kraftin Kimmie Friends FB group last week, and I wan't sure what to do with the image once i colored it... so I made it into a shaker card and used Sequins as the "shaker" part...... check it out.....

I used some DSP from like eons ago, and it's got velvet swirls on it.... super cool! The ribbons are again from my friend Leah in Canada! The flowers are all Wild Orchid Crafts and the sequins are from Cartwright. The image I used is Carly Cupcakes from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and I just stinking adore her!

Under the sea

Hi everyone! Welcome to another Saturday challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

This Saturday the theme is..... MERMAIDS!!!!! Here's my Krafty Creation:

I chose to use the lovely Florence Finbottom to satisfy this mermaid challenge. I also found this poem via google about a mermaid and thought it was just lovely. So I added as the sentiment and away I went! I cut the seaweed out of patterned paper in various sizes on my circuit machine and then layered it with greens from Wild Orchid Crafts. I love the way this turned out.
