Scrapping4fun #75 - Fabulous Autumn Colors

Hello crafty friends!  It's time for another challenge at Scrapping4fun.  Even though the temperatures are still pretty hot here, you can see that Autumn has finally made it here.  The leaves are starting to fall and cooler nights are here.  With that being said, I guess you can figure out our next challenge... we want to see Autumn colors in your creations.  Autumn is a beautiful time of the year :o)

I couldn't pass up this cutie from Tiddly Inks called Pumpkin Patch Molly (right now you can get 2 Halloweeny images for $5, this is one of the images that came with the set, only being sold as a set for now).  The image is colored up with my Prismacolor pencils.  Lots of Autumn colors had to be added and some leaves.

Here's the inside.

Dr Digi - Professor Birthday

Hello Crafty Friends!!  I'm here with my Dr Digi post.

Today I created a card using this handsome and nerdy image, Professor Wiggingson.  I colored the image with my Prismacolor pencils.  Even though the chalkboard was light black, I could still make it green with my pencils very easily, which is what I remember having in school.  The backing paper is also from Dr Digi called Distressed Diamonds.

Here's the inside, in which I used a sentiment from Dr Digi's Funny Sentiment Sheet 2.

Let's Craft and Create: Stripes or Spots

Hello crafty friends!  Well, a little bit of unexpected here...I'm a new DT member for Let's Craft and Create.  Feeling excited about this.  This is my first post and it's the mid-way reminder post for the current challenge, Stripes or Spots.

I decided to go with "spots" using this image from The Paper Shelter called Autumn Trends.  I've had this image printed for awhile, so it was nice to finally color her up with my Prismacolor pencils.  Yes, I have a stack of digital and stamped images ready for coloring.  Sometimes when I print something off for a DT projects, I don't want to waste paper, so I print off other images to take up the rest of the page.
Anywho, I used some scrap spot and very discounted paper for some of the card.  The perfect spotty flower just happen to be in my stash, with some petite purple flowers.  Of course circle die-cuts had to used to complete me spot creation.

Here's the inside.

Scrapping4fun #74 - Masculine

Hello crafty friends!  It's time for a new challenge over at Scrapping4fun.  It's hard to believe that September is almost half way over, but I'm SO ready for Autumn.  The Fall Festivals are my favorite, with hay rides, fresh apple cider, pumpkins, and my favorite...homemade apple cider donuts.  I'm ready for Autumn.  I hope you are ready for our new challenge, it's "Masculine" for the next 2 weeks.

We are being sponsored by Cute As A Button, just out the cute images.

I'm using sponsor image Fishing.  Such a handsome little farm boy.  He definitely looks like a boy who plays rough.  He clothes need mending (maybe they are his play clothes) and he has a sling shot in his back pocket.  The image was colored with my Prismacolor pencils.
