I Dig You

Here is my card for the September mystery image swap.  Jessica sent us this great image and I had fun creating a card!  Next month, Dea is our hostess and I already have her image.  So--we all get to create another round of cute cards!

Country Charm

This is a card I made for September's Monthly Challenge for the Girls of the Baker's Dozen.  This group is a kind of mystery image swap, where we each get an image and additional items to complete the challenge each month.  Suzy was the hostess and sent us this sweet fall image, along with some perfect coordinating sentiments.  

Here is the inside of my card--Suzy sent some sequins that is used in the middle of the flowers along with the strip of patterned paper here:

This was a fun kit and I know the next kit from Maggie will be here soon--Yippee!

Mystery Image Revealed

This card is for a Mystery Swap on SCS. A group of us are doing a bi-monthly swap where we all use the same mystery image, sent to us by the hostess. This swap was created by Forest Ranger—Jeanette and we are now into our second time around.  Darlene is the hostess this month and she said she was going old-school as she picked a favorite stamp from years ago.  She will swap the cards and send everyone the next image, which will be provided by Melina. Then I sure hope we get to do it all over again--that will be the start of round three and Jeanette has not posted if we are continuing or not yet!

I think this image is so cute and yes, Darlene--we all need birthday cards!

The Dueling Darlings are Back!

If you are looking for my {PIN}Spirational Challenge card or my TCCCB Challenge card, please scroll down. It is a three-peat post day!!!

It is the 15^th of the month and that means we get to show off a new Dueling Darlings challenge. We have taken a couple of months off for summer and we are back bigger and better than ever!  We have added new members to both teams, so be sure to check out the blog roll on the left sidebar to see all of the blogs!  Also--One of our new Diva's-Suzy, does not have a blog yet, but I have a link to her SCS Gallery at the end of this post--please check out her card there!

For our September Challenge, our team leaders, Kelly and Jeanette came u with our theme for the teams this month.  Kelly is organizer of the Divas and Jeanette is in charge of the Dazzlers.  The challenge this month is--"Tutti Fruity".  

Kelly sent us this information:  Since Autumn is now upon us, the Divas are going apple picking!  Maybe you, too, have those fond memories of heading to the apple orchards to bring home bushels of fresh apples picked from the trees, filling up the baskets!  Maybe you loved drinking fresh apple juice and cider or the crunch of the apple as you took that first bite-Yum!

I thought the patterned paper Kelly sent was so pretty--I loved the sparkle.  I used just one layer on the bottom of my card and left that alone.  I colored and fussy cut the basket and one of the apples Kelly included and popped it over the three layers of sweet ribbon she sent along. I used the thick fiber to tie a bow over the ribbon and also used a thinner piece I pulled off and threaded it through one of the red, wooden hearts.

Here is the inside of my card:

True to many of the previous Dueling Darling Challenges--there was an additional "challenge" for us--for us to post our favorite fruit recipe--just the name.  My favorites-- fruit tarts or fruit pizza!  Yummy!!!!
