Creative Knockouts #161 - Fall

Creative Knockouts latest challenge is sponsored by Di's Digis.  The prize is a generous $12 certificate for her shop.  Our theme is fall, so I used lots of fall colors on my card.

I used a digi (#624 Best Friends) from artist, Sandra Caldwell for my card.  You can find more of her digis on her Facebook Fan Group or in her shop, Babycakes Digis and Designs.  A thanks to Sketch Saturday for the card layout!

This is my last challenge as a member of the Creative Knockouts DT.  I've had a wonderful time working with the team and getting to know Kelly.  She's the best!  I hope you will join the fall challenge at Creative Knockouts.

A Day for Daisies - Flowers in My Garden

The temperature is changing and nights are starting to become cooler here in Minnesota, meaning summer is on its way out and fall is beaconing.  My image choice for this posting is an serves as a reminder of the wonderful summer weather - and what could be better than this sweet little girl surrounded by flowers and a warm breeze blowing through her hair?   The digi, Flowers in my Garden is available in the A Day for Daisies Shop.

She's colored with Copics and the layers of paper are from my scrap drawer.  I created the flower from white satin ribbon, colored the pearl with my Copics, and used an SU! felt stitched leaf from my stash.

Hope you are playing with our challenge this month on the ADFD Blog.  Zubaida is a challenge winner from July.  Isn't she a fabulous Guest Design Team member this month?  You could be our next GDT member!

Whoooooo's Ready for A New ADFD Challenge?

Our September group post on the A Day for Daisies Blog features a collection of sweet owls. I used Owl Sister on my card.  I am a sucker for those circle flowers Tammy draws and love how these frame the owl. The card had a fall feel to it until I popped an oval frame I had sitting on my desk behind the image.  The background is a wood grain embossing folder to go with September's challenge  - Add Some Wood - and I got in the recessed areas with my Copics to add some visual interest.

I hope you will play along with the Add Some Wood challenge this month.  Remember, you can enter up to four times and the winner will join our team as a guest design team member!  You just need an ADFD image to play - and there's a cute freebie waiting for you on the challenge page!   I can't wait to see what you create.
