Challenged!

How fun are challenges?!! I haven't really participated in any challenges before...just never thought to do it, or I figured..why? But, I have to say, I am having a lot of fun doing the challenges over at the Freak! Monica and the girls have brought back the Freaky Friday Challenges (they had been on hiatus during the summer) and I decided to try my hand at doing some of them, specifically the card and digi ones.

Last night I completed the first Card Challenge. This challenge was to use one of the PageMaps card sketches for September 2008, to use something new in our stash, and to make it a thank-you card. I used my old Basic Grey Black Tie patterned papers, Bazzill cardstock, my SU corner rounder to create the scalloped piece of cardstock, my SU window punch, MM letter stamps, a Heidi Grace polka dot floral embellie, and my "new" stash product was the grey trim from Chatterbox! I am in need of about 10 thank you cards so this was a good jump start for me!

Today I worked on the first Digi Challenge. This challenge was to use one photograph, 3 patterened papers and 2 different embellishments. I used a gorgeous kit by Summer Driggs "Vintage Oreos" (I love this kit!!). The font is Occidental. I also changed my original picture from color by adding a Vintage action and some vignetting to the edges...I also added the EZ Vignette to the entire layout once I had everything in place! Of course the subject is my beloved Ozzi!!


As for the rest of my weekend...I don't have too much planned...I'm feeling all inspired so I might just hang out here in the sCRAP room and play!

Until next time,
Blessings!
