Oh my...here it is August already and time for a whole month of
new challenges at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown (52CCT).
Before I get to that though, I'd like to thank you for all
the amazing entries we had for Christmas in July at 52CCT.
We had some prizes up for grabs for those of you who left us comments
and entered a challenge (or more).
Winners will be posted on Wednesday - so check the 52CCT Challenge
site then to see if maybe it's you! Crossing my fingers for you :o)
Back to the first challenge for August at 52CCT.
It's a fabulous sketch - take a look:
Now for my DT card to inspire you to play along with us:
Digital image by Deedee's Digis - "Deer Friend"
I love using digital images to make cards. This is a great pre-colored image from the
digital set called "Deer Friend" by Deedee's Digis. Usually I like to color the image
myself but thanks to a fractured thumb, I'm not able to do much of that right now.
What's really great about this though is I can print a wonderfully colored image,
use my Big Shot and die cuts and layer the parts to have a finished card
in less than 1/2 the time it would usually take me. I'm pretty happy with the results!
What a great way to quickly add to my stash of cards to send for the Christmas holiday.
I'd highly encourage you to try it if you are finding that you want to get started - or ahead :o).
The rest of my lovely DT pals at 52CCT have made some amazing cards using the
August sketch. Please go visit them as well and say "hi".
I hope to see your Christmas card in our gallery this week!
