Challenge #21--Friendship--Sarah's Turn

Hello Sundays With Crissy fans!! Hope you all had a chance to check out our new permanent DT Members!! We feel so blessed to have these wonderful ladies on our team!! We also will be having a couple of guests pop in this month so stay tuned!!! We also would like to say goodbye and thank you to Lisa and Mary who are both stepping down. They have such great talent and will be missed!!

Now on to this month's challenge! This month our theme is FRIENDSHIP. I know some of you were feeling severely deprived with last month's SIMPLE theme so let 'er rip crafters, bring out the bling, the string, etc. but your card has to be about friendship--how easy is that??

Here's what I did for my card...

I used Crissy's fabulous image "Great Day to Fish". Don't you just love these two buddies?? I have seen a lot of cards coloured with prisma pencils on kraft paper lately and just had to try this type of media. Way before Copics came on the seen I used Prismacolor Pencils with Odourless Mineral Spirits quite a bit, so it was nice to go back and play with another media again.

I do apologize for the poor photography. I tried for about 3 hours to get some decent shots but nothin' doin'. UUUrrrrrggghhh. Anyway, I hope to put this project together in an "ABC" book one day that displays many of Crissy's beautiful images with alphabetic themes.You can check out the rest of the details on this project on my personal blog at Sally Cicada Designs.

No without futher ado...here are the winners of Crissy's Artist Choice Award, for last month's challenge with the theme of "K.I.S.S.--Keeping It Simple Stamper"!! These are cards that caught my eye for one reason or another, that I felt were the most impressive from the bunch! Ladies, don't forget to pick up your blog award badge on the sidebar for shining this month!!

Challenge #20 - K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stamper - Jane's Turn

Hi! I'm Jane, a stay at home Mum to my two gorgeous little ones. I have always been creative and started cardmaking and stamping in February 2009 as something to do when my husband works night shifts! Little did I know how addicted I would become and I have made so many wonderful friends worldwide through my blog! I love to colour and create and find myself making something most evenings. I was so thrilled when Crissy asked if I would like to join the team and work with her gorgeous images! I didn't think twice about saying yes!!

**********

Our challenge this month is, of course, K.I.S.S - Keep it simple stamper!! - Phew! if you visit my blog you will know that this was a huge challenge for me!!! I can't resist adding more and more and then some more to my cards! I love butterflies and so Crissy's gorgeous Rose Butterfly was the perfect choice for me for this month's card.

Here's my take on the challenge -I printed the image directly onto kraft cardstock and coloured it with Prismacolor pencils. I also printed the image a second time so that I could cut out the top wings for a bit of dimension. I had intended to just have the sentiment and gem swirl but it was just too simple for me LOL!! I added the faux stitching with a fine black marker and the full lines with white pencil. The lacey border along the bottom was punched with a Martha Stewart punch. For more details please see my blog, Jane's Lovely Cards.

Now it's your turn to show us your K.I.S.S. cards!! There will be five free digi's given to one lucky challenge participant who will be chosen by Random.org at the end of the month! You may now use images from any company and still be included in the draw for the blog candy prize! Those who use one of Crissy's images, either from her rubber or digital collections will be entered twice in the draw. But please respect the rule of no more than three entries per month. Otherwise your entries could be deleted.

The challenge runs throughout August, so you still have a few days left to create your card, and you can find uploading instructions and the inlinkz option on Sarah's post HERE.

Challenge #20 -- K.I.S.S.-- Keep it Simple Stamper-- Shari's Turn

Hi, my name is Shari and I am so thrilled and honored to be a new member of the Sundays with Crissy Design Team.  I am mom to two adults and 3 fur babies, and have been a crafter forever.  I started with rug hooking, crocheting, faux painting, and then ran my own tole painting business for years ( even cut my own pieces of wood ).  Scrapbooking entered the picture about 14 years ago when I moved to Calgary.  When Copics first came out I resisted - who needed another addiction LOL!!! - that lasted for a whole two months, and then I took a basic class and the rest as they say is history!!   I became a Copic Certified Designer in April 2010 and LOVE everything about Copics, including experimenting with all kind of techniques, and passing my passion and knowledge on to fellow Copic lovers!!!   I also enjoy the technique of painting with distress inks to color images, so every once in a while I will switch things up - keeps everyone guessing!

               Our challenge for this month is K.I.S.S. - Keep It Simple Stamper.

For my first card as a member of Crissy's Crew I have painted the gorgeous "Ophelia" by Crissy with Distress Inks.  For more information on my card please visit my blog here, I am looking forward to meeting you!

Challenge # 20 - K.I.S.S. - Dana's Turn

 Hi all!! I am Dana.  So what can I tell you about myself? I've been married for 27 years, we have 3 adult children and one grandson. We live in a rural town outside of St Louis, MO, USA.  I've been crafting and coloring in one form or another for most of my life. I was the kid you could give the crayons and coloring book to and I could literally sit and color for hours. Whelp, not much has changed in the following years.. lol! Now my "crayons" cost a little bit more but I still have a deep passion for getting color onto paper.

I am thrilled to be a part of Crissy's Crew and hope I can do justice to her amazing artwork!

 So without further ado, here's my card for this month's challenge KISS (Keep it Simple Stamper)

That is the adorable Mudzie Plays Scarecrow  available at Squigglefly.  I don't know what it is about Mudzie that just cracks me up but it is my SIL's love for all things moose that sent me on my quest for cute moose images last year.  I still have not seen any moose images cuter than him! You can see all the details on my blog.

Now it's your turn to show us your K.I.S.S. cards!! See upload instructions below!!

Challenge #20--K.I.S.S.--Keep It Simple Stamper--Shannah's Turn

Hi! I'm Shannah and I live in the beautiful Hills region of South Australia. My wonderful hubby is a Police Officer, and we have one cat (i.e. demanding fur-baby!). I love traveling, photography, talking and reading, and am happy as long as I'm learning something!
I took up card-making about 3 years ago, and the very first stamps I fell in love with were Crissy's High Hopes cuties! So you can imagine how excited, nervous, and completely honored I am to be a member of Crissy's Crew! :)

So today I'm here to share my very first card as a Crissy Crew member - talk about a dream come true!

Our challenge for the month of August is K.I.S.S. -- Keep It Simple Stamper.
Tricky, right? I had to slap my own fingers to stop myself adding all the yumminess that we card-makers love! (Though I did sneak in just a tiny bit of bling and flowers.... Because after all this IS my very first card for Crissy - and it couldn't be nekkid!)

I also decided to take 'K.I.S.S.' literally, and used Crissy's absolutely adorable digital image "Nose to Nose", from Whimsy Stamps.  This gorgeous little girl giving an 'Eskimo Kiss' to her puppy looks so much like my beautiful niece Ava that I totally fell in love with her!

 

Hop on over to My Blog - Embellished ExpresShan's - for more details about my card - I'd love to meet you!

Now it's your turn to show us your K.I.S.S. cards!! There will be five free digi's given to one lucky challenge participant who will be chosen by Random.org at the end of the month!
