Digistamps4Joy Challenge #30 - Embellish/Embellish It

Seeing Double

Hi all…can you guess what time of year it is? Lol Well, here we are at the start of another challenge from Digistamps4Joy and this time we want you to embellish using 2 identical embellishments. That’s right, it can be 2 buttons, or two bows, brads or whatever you can come up with, just as long as there are two and they are identical. The usual rules apply…you don’t have to use a Digistamps4Joy image, but we would really love to see one and if you do it doubles your chances in the random draw! How great is that?

For this challenge I was lucky enough to be able to play with a new image that will be coming to the store real soon. She was recently added for a challenge on CDAC and I was very lucky to get to work with her.

I decided to do something I’ve never done before, but have always wanted to try…I made a corner bookmark. This was so much fun to do but I'll have to get back to you on where I found the tutorial because I seem to have lost the page lol.

Can you guess what my double embellishment is? I colored her with purple glitter pen, SU felts and Prisma Scholar pencil crayons with oms. I wanted to put something on the back so I found this great sentiment from Sassy Studios and added more bats. I then finished it off with some stickles. My dd was very happy that her mom decided to give it to her…Halloween is her favourite time of year lol.

So now it’s your turn. To join in just follow the link here, and check out the rules and prizes. And while you’re there, check out what my fellow teamies have made up to inspire you…you won’t be disappointed.

Pattie's Creations Challenge #31 - Halloween

Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.
Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin'd.
Harpier cries:—'tis time! 'tis time!
Round about the caldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw.— Toad, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has thirty-one; Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot!


ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

It’s here, it’s here, it’s finally here! Yup, today’s the day that I post my first project for Pattie’s Creations! And what a challenge it is! Now we all know what time of year it is…the time when little ghosts and goblins abound. And not only little ghosts and goblins, but witches too! So obviously our challenge is going to be a Halloween one! So go get all of those bats out of your belfry and come on and join us.

So for this challenge I was so lucky to be able to work with this totally fabulous image. Her name is Witch Pattieboop and you will be able to find her soon with all of Pattie’s other fantastic images at Pattie’s Shop here. I wanted to do something different for this challenge and I was so lucky to come across this wonderful tutorial for a Kleenex box cover. You can find the tutorial here.

Isn't she totally adorable? Now I know that you're all going to want to see a close up of her so far be it for me to disappoint you lol.

She sure looks like she's ready to go out trick or treating. The sentiment is from Sassy Studio. Now I had to fill up 4 sides to this box, so what better for another side than another one of Pattie's incredible images?

And who better to join Pattie on her night of trick or treating than her trusty friend Allie? The other 2 sides have Halloween sentiments on them. Here's a picture of the top of it.

So how do you join in on all the fun you ask? Well it's really simple, just make a Halloween themed project. It must have a digital image or stamped image on it. Although you don't have to use a Pattie's Creations image we would sure love to see one. For all the challenge details just click on the link here and it will bring you to Pattie's Challenge Blog. The challenge runs from now until Thursday Oct. 25th at 5 pm Central Mountain time. I hope to see all of you there.

Digistamps4Joy Anything Goes….with a Bonus

Digistamsp4Joy is having another challenge and this time it’s up to you what you do….it’s an anything goes…but with a bonus. If you use a Digistamps4Joy image on your project you will triple your chances of winning!! Yup, you heard right, you will TRIPLE your chances of winning. Now if you use an image other than a Digistamps4Joy one, you will still get one entry in for the random draw.

So this challenge I got to use an incredible image called Star Keeper.

Isn’t she absolutely gorgeous? I have been wanting to do something with her for a long time, so I was so excited that this challenge came up. You can find her and all the other fabulous images at Digistamps4Joy here. I decided to do a tent card and hang her from the center of it. You can find the tutorial for the tent card here. I paperpieced her dress with a white dp with purple glitter in it. Unfortunately, no matter how many pictures I took, I couldn't get the purple glitter to show up lol. I added gold stick ons in the 3 corners and I added a swarovski crystal in the corner of each of the stick on's. And I added stickles to my flowers.

I stamped stars with versa mark on the black background paper and embossed them with gold embossing powder. My dp had purple flowers on it so I took a gold metallic felt pen and colored them all gold.

So now you're wondering how to join this fabulous challenge aren't you? Well here are the rules and prizes:
