Path of Positivity - Perseverance

It is time for our mid month inspiration over at Path of Positivity. If you have not linked up there still is plenty of time. Our theme this month is perseverance and our sponsor is  Ike's Art and Deedee's Digis.

The image and sentiment I used are from a set over at Deedee's Digi's called "Congratulations Graduate." This set has gotten a lot of use this month as my son is graduation High School and I have been making party invites.

Education definitely does take perseverance. While he may not be as focused as I would like him to be right now (senioritis), he has worked hard over the last 4 years. 

The set has lots of great sentiments enabling me to make many different versions of a graduation card. The paper is from a set over at Decosse's Dynamite Doodles called June Graduation Kit.

Our challenge runs all month long, so there is plenty of time to play. We would love to see you link up this month and share with us your meaning of perseverance.

Owl Always Love you - April Progressive Challenge

The digi of the month over at Deedee's progressive challenge is so cute this month. It is perfect for a Mother's Day Card. If you are not playing along you are missing out.  It is like Christmas every month receiving a free digital set. I never know what I am going to get, but I have not been disappointed yet.

This month the set is called "Under Your Wing." With a wonderful pre colored and non colored image. The set also has several fun sentiments to work with.

I used paper and washi tape from 7 Gypsies. The Love tag is from Tim Holtz collection and ribbon from my stash.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Dee Dee's March Digi of the Month Challenge

What day is it? Am I coming or going? That is how I have felt the last couple of days. I have been so busy with work that I have not had a chance to play along with any challenges. Thank goodness I had worked ahead on my DT projects.

We are coming close to the end of the month and there are still 2 progressive challenges I want to enter.  Dee Dee's Digi's does a progressive challenge every month and this month we received some very fun Easter images to work with.

Because I have been so busy, I decided to work with a pre colored image this month. These are great for quick cards.

Everything is from my stash. I had some scraps from both these designer papers and they matched each other perfectly. The bow made the finishing touch.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Ends March 31 - Dee Dee's Digis - March Progressive
Ends April 1 - Digi Chooseday Challenge - Animals
Ends April 1 - Creative Card Crew - #58 Animals
Ends April 1 - Fan Tastic Tuesday - #28 Anything Goes

Dee Dee's Digi's February Progressive Challenge

When I saw the images offered up this month for Dee Dee's Progressive challenge I thought to myself "perfect." We have all, at one time or another, forgotten a birthday. Well, maybe not completely forgot, but have been slow in wishing the birthday girl/boy a happy birthday.

The set is called "Turtle-riffic Day." Pefect for that special birthday. Now the great thing about this set, is if you happy to be "on time" it has sentiments for that as well.

I have been very busy this month so instead of coloring my own image, I printed out the pre colored one. It came out beautifully!

I wanted to use the second part of the sentiment for the inside. I needed it a bit bigger so I created my own using Dee Dee's words. If you are not familiar with Dee's Dee's challenge, you should pop on over there. You may have to buy the first set, but she is offering it up for only $1.25.That is definitely a bargain.

Hopefully my little card has inspired you to pop on over there and check it out. I know you won't be disappointed.

January Progressive Challenge - DeeDee's Digis

Happy Monday! For many, this is the first day back to work. The dreaded grind. Hopefully everyone is well rested. But as busy as we are, we always seem time to craft, right? It keeps our sanity in tact, and this one is for a good cause, Cards for Hospitalized Kids.

One of the things I hoped to start in 2014 was to participate in a progressive challenge. What this means, is if you participate one month and use their digi, the next month digi is free. Well, I like free!

DeeDee's Digis has a progressive challenge going on. Since this is the first month, I had to buy this months featured set, but she is a doll and has offered it up at a discount. The set "Sending my Love" is perfect for Valentine's Day Cards. It is well worth it for the $1.25.

Here is my card. It will be going in the mail today to Cards for Hospitalized kids.

Somebunny love you!

And here is the January Set. As you can see, it well worth the price. So why not join in on the fun! There is plenty of time as the challenge runs all month long, and everyone is a winner!

Have a great week!
