Retirement has created a challenge addict, which takes up a fair amount of my time. Thanks to innovative and creative ideas from many Design Teams, my daughter, and my friends. Challenges gave me a jump-start on many of my cards and turns on my creativity to come up with my own unique designs. Started a unique Double Trouble Challenge and took on partnership of Try a Sketch on Saturday. If you like what you see, please sign up on the right sidebar and consider "following" me.

Have a Magical Birthday - Double Trouble Challenge #80 "Something, Anything, Everything"
Here is my Design Team card for Double Trouble Challenge #78 "Something, Anything, Everything" using Twisted Sister's optional twist to celebrate National Crayon Day and include an image on your project that you have colored. Again, went through my container of unfinished Copic Class card kits and found another Whimsy's wizzard images... much to my surprise it didn't even need a touchup.

Miss You - Double Trouble Challenge #65 "Something, Anything, Everything"
Colored the image, scanned/printed two additional copies and fussy-cut parts of the images and layered them with thin foam tape on each other for dimension. Fussy-cut the phone base from the handset receiver and placed on prepared background with more thin foam tape for additional dimension. Rather than cutting the phone cable from the image I simply drew a phone line from the receiver to the base. To balance out the third window I decided to use the word bubble as my sentiment. I was so pleased with the dimension and hope you can see it in my photos.
