Fab 'n' Funky Challenge - Challenge #96 also a DT Call

Hi Everyone,

Cor!!!  It's Wednesday and that time of the week again, I only thought I wrote one of these a couple of days ago, well lets get going shall we.  It's Wednesday, so that means it's a Fab 'n' Funky Challenge.  Firstly, I must say Congratulations to the overall Winner (picked at random), and also the top three, to be honest with all your wonderful cards / projects it is extremely hard.

This week the Sponsor is Karen's Doodles,



I have been drawing all of my life. When I was 19, I started an animation studio with a friend from college. We created scoreboard animations for all the Major League Baseball teams as well as the Super Bowl and the Olympics In 1989 I started my own animation studio. We created animation for the Feature Film "Fern Gully The Last Rainforest". We also animated a Christmas Special "The Wish That changed Christmas" and a video featuring Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer. For the past 20 years I have had the pleasure of creating animations for Disney, Fisher Price and Mattel and bringing their characters to life. In 2006 I decided to bring my own characters to life with my first Children's Book, "Oink Finds an Egg". This year I am celebrating 50 years as a doodler and I look forward to sharing my original drawings with crafters through "Karen's Doodles"

This week we had to make Halloween cards, and here is mine:

Tuesday Morning Sketches - #112 and also Nutcrafters- Challenge 1 - Autumn is in the Air

Hi All,

Time has flown past today, I actually told my Mum that I wasn't feeling well and so sorry the cards would take a back seat.  But hey I made a card, still feeling ill though....  Today I looked at Tuesday Morning Sketches and also Nutcrafters were having their 1st Challenge, so combining the two was a good idea.  Well onto the Challenge.

This is my card:

Wow!!! I really liked doing this card.  Now for the Image I used the Free Digi which Nutcrafters

were giving out, thank you!!  I coloured in the Free Digi with Polychromo's Pencils and then blended together with Sansodor.  The Design Papers came from Papermania - Antique Cream Creative Tones.  The Gems came from Kanban.

The Flowers came from QVC.  I punched some leaves using my Woodware Punch.

I would like to enter the card into Tuesday Morning Sketches - #112 and also Nutcrafters - Challenge 1 - Autumn is in the Air

Well I'm off now to go to my sick bed!!!
