121201 - December Freebie At Outlawz - Sponsored by Simply Betty Stamps (thanks Betty)

Hi Everyone!

I am so excited about this challenge!  Our members at Outlawz told us that they really liked the Progressive Monthly Challenge that we used to do....So Guess what everyone....IT IS BACK!!!

We are so very fortunate as well in this challenge to kick it off with a fantastic image from Simply Betty Stamps!  It is called Tangled Wednesday and You can buy her in the kit OR get it free at Outlawz challenges.  Since coming onto the Design Team at Outlawz I never would have tried an image like this because my glasses can never give me the vision I so long for back in my 30s when I didn't need glasses LOL so parts of this image were very tiny for my eyes.  However when Betty sent this image to me...I said BRING IT LOL.  I am so very happy how it turned out!  I cant wait to see how you create your!

Face E000,00,21,11,04,R20

Dec 1-The Stamping Boutique-Pocket Patootie Monkey Digi

I loved our challenge this week!  It is all about black and white!  The image can be found at our sponsor this week (The Stamping Boutique) Pocket Patootie Monkey Digital Stamp.  I cant believe how many Copic's I used to make this black and white card!  

Monkey - W00, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8

Pocket - N0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9

Banana - C00, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9

Vine and Leaves - T0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

I water-coloured the background with a grey paint.  And then I had no idea how many of my stickles actually worked with this.  I used Black Diamond, Icicle, Star Dust, Frosted Lace, and Silver!

I was a bit unique this time with the folds of my card (basically because I scored on the wrong line LOL - shhhhhh I was tired LOL).  So that bow on the side actually ties to hold that flap at the bottom shut.  The I go Bananas this time of the year pulls down to then open up the Pocket Patootie Monkey to reveal the sentiment inside which is Happy Birthday!  I had a party to go to this afternoon and I just love the gal it was for and thought she would like the card.  We partnered it up with a black and white bag with her gift inside.  My daughter paired this with a lime green paper so of course I made the envelope with green and lime green polka dots to match the paper (what can I say...I am a bit OCD when it comes to this stuff).

Antonetta's Pink Bridal Dress!

The Digi that I used for this card is Lizabeth Wedding Bliss.

This is a card that I made for my co-worker/friend!  She is finally getting married to her man in a very simple ceremony with her family on December 15th!  Although they have been living together for quite some time, it was the reason she did not get a white dress...she went with a pink one instead!  I hope I matched the colour to the same pink she has!  I know she will be delighted to get her card at our team X-Mas party!

Hi Everyone!

Glad you all popped in to see my Challenge Card for November 17th for The Outlawz Monday Greeting Challenge.  This week it is all about ThanksGiving!
