I Got to do More DTGD09 Challenges!!

Yep, I was able to do all of the DTGD09 challenges today...all within two cards!! This first card used four challenges: DTDG09Scrapnextras - Previous theme: Learning Your ABC's! - to use monogram/alphabet sets on your card; DTGD09cindy_haffner Sketch Challenge; DTGD09blondie090277 - Paper Tole; and DTGD09StamperSharon: What’s black & white & red all over? - black and white cards with a pop of red.

Love, love, love this great sketch from Cindy!! For my paper tole, I used the 3 Step Hearts & Roses stamp set from Kitchen Sink Stamps. I stamped it four times, cut out the different layers, and popped them up on dimensionals. Then stamped the sentiment with KSS's Mix it up - Monogram & Alphabet.

For my second card, the four challenges were: DTGD09Lauraly ~ Previous Theme: Tie One On! - to use ribbon on your card; DTGD09TruCarMa ~ Previous Theme: Good Enough to Eat! - use a food image on your card; DTGD09DeborahLynneS ~ Taken with Texture!; and DTGD09basilefamily - The Happiest Hour - which was an inspiration challenge, picture can be seen here.

I was VERY inspired by this picture. I soooo don't ever use bold bright colors...not that I don't like them, they are just not what I reach for all the time. This gave me the chance to use some poor neglected colors. In fact, this is the first time I have used my Green Galore ink pad...it was still in it's wraper...and I think I bought it over two years ago! LOL! I also picked up on the citrus fruit in the picture, which also qualifies for the "Good Enough to Eat" challenge. The images and sentiment are from Flourishes Life, Love and Lemons set.

Now for Deb's texture challenge, if you squint your eye and look closely, you can see that I ran the white label 1 nestabilities and white strip of paper under the images through my big shot with a SU texturz polka dotted plate. The large circle brads are also textured, as it the ribbon across the top...which work for the final challenge from Laurie!

Whew!! I am tired just typing all of this! LOL!! Thanks so much for visiting today! Have a great weekend!!
