The Progressive Challenge at the Outlawz

I am hoping to slide this cutie under the wire as I type this it is almost 10 pm the last day!!  So quick and fast here is the fabulous Virgo Cat from Sheepski Designs!  He is being used for the Progressive challenge at the Outlawz group!


I used background paper that I made from my leftover palette paint and DP to go on top of that.  The little kitty is colored with Soucolor makers.

I am entering this into the Outlawz Progressive Challenge for April.

This little guy is sooo cute and kinda looks like he could come up with some snappy jokes if need be!  He was free at Limited Runs to participate in the Progressive Challenge on the Facebook Group!

Midway Post for Ike's World Challenge Spring Inspiration Photo for April

Hi all!  I am back and delighted to be attempting to catch up on almost ten weeks of recuperating from a fall down the stairs.  My arm is healing nicely in all the broken parts :)  Now for Ike's World Challenge for April using a Spring Inspiration Photo!  I had so much fun working on this; it was nice to be inking and coloring up again!




Some background papers in soft pink and background stamps in green ink with some butterflies made a nice home for the pocket to hold my seed packets.  The Seed images from Ike's Art were colored with Touch New Markers and inked with Distress Inks.  A twine box in green made the last touch. Oh the gorgeous green background paper is a digital paper from Dragons Lair Designs that I printed out and is called Watercolor Papers set.

Merry Christmas from Santa Whiskers at LeighSBDesigns

I am new to playing at the Outlawz Challenges and I am having such fun with all of the different challenges there weekly. This one is for Festive Fridays where the challenge for this week was between 4 celebrations.  Since I had Santa Whiskers all colored up and ready to visit I printed out some Dragons Lair Designs digital papers and flowers and made up a card.


Santa Whiskers is a wonderful digital image by LeighSBDesigns as we celebrate the one year anniversary/birthday of the wonderful digital stamps!  

Check out the awesome Outlawz Challenges, too!

Dragons Lair Designs Facebook Coloring Challenge and Mini Kit Challenge for April!

Wow!  We had an awesome number of fabulous entries for last month's extended (due to my fall oops!) challenge but the extra time was spent ohh and ahhing over the awesomeness!  Now we have some dragon love and fairy love mixed together for April!   We are using Penny's Discovery from Dragons Lair Designs and what a cutie it is!


I colored up Penny and her friend with Touchnew Markers and fussy cut.  Then I printed out my layout from Girls Rule World and glued the image inside the circle.  I would have rather cut my layout out but scissors and cutting aggravate my arm so I took a short cut!


Girlz World Mini kit is the kit we are using with Janette's Freebie for April to play along with for the challenge she has going!  Click HERE to jump there and see all the details!  The kit is gorgeously rich in colors and yummy as ice cream to work with so beware!

April Progressive Challenge at Ike's Art Fan Page!

The image Ike so nicely gave us is the most charming little fairy I have seen!  Plump little legs and arms she is drawn delightfully!   The Facebook page for Ike's fans is a fun place to hang out and there is always something to do!  So go join if you haven't and get in on April's cutie!  It is not too late!


I made a simple journal page using the remains of a die cut flower sheet as a stencil to ink through with Distress Inks.  The lightly went over the white negative space with Wild Honey.  The image I colored with Prisma colored pencils and printed out that awesome quote by Monet (whom I am obsessed with right now!) was created in Photoshop CC.

As always we hope you have joined the Facebook group and of course the two fabulous challenges of Ike's which the linkies are right below so click on and start playing!
