Squigglefly Challenge #42, SFC4213 Leave Me Be

Welcome to the Squigglefly Challenge Blog!

Hello everyone! Welcome to this week's Squigglefly Challenge.  Are you ready? Well, first let me tell you last week's winner.  We had a great challenge last week to create a halloween card. The winner this week was Heidi Brawley who created a delightful witchy card using Cheryl Alger's image The Good Witch. 

 

Please contact Holly at usyungs@gmail.com for your prize.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This week's challenge is SFC4213 Leave Me Be
 

  The challenge this week is called Leave me be.  There's two ways you can do this challenge, either you can choose to incorporate "leaves" as in tree leaves into your card --they can be in your image or as embellishments (i.e. diecuts, brads, stamped images, on the paper....) OR you can use the word "Leave" like in traveling or leaving home, and create a card about travel!  Either way.   We'd love for you to use a Squigglefly image, to be prize eligible it's required, but everyone is welcome to play along.

Let's start with some inspiration from the Holley Hobbyists:

Pat Martin crafted a beautiful fall tag using wonderful leaf shaped brads using a brand new image called Christmas Mouse from artist Carmen Gamble.  Too adorable.  Isn't this tag perfect for fall time?

 

 Jan Marshall  created this awesome notebook using this background size leaf stamp from artist Elizabeta Kushner.  This image is called Leafy Background.  What a lovely creation for a teacher's gift or any Fall time treat! 

 

Elizabeth Hart did this challenge with leaves in her image as well as on her card.  This new image created by artist Elizabeta Kushner is called Acorn Flourish.  She used beautiful fall theme paper which she die cut on to her card with some fun embellished leaves. Wow, cute!!

   

Charlene Mitchell also has a perfect image for this challenge using a leaf filled delight.  This cute image from artist Elizabeta Kushner is called Autumn Wreath..  Don't you love the fall colored leaves on the wreath as well as that adorable leaf embellishment? 

 

Darlene Pavlick created this Halloween theme card using a great image  from Judith Hart.  This image is called Halloween Circle.  I just love the leaves she added to it as well as the paper that has leaves printed on it, what a nice touch!

 

 Tammy Hair created beautiful Halloween card using Rusty Punkin Patch from artist Carmen Gamble.  She added some fun Die cut leaves to complete the challenge, though the image itself has some gorgeous pumpkin leaves on it!  Beautiful coloring Tammy!



And lastly, I (Holley Barnhart from Holley's Blog)  used a great image from artist Fawn Palmer.  This cutie comes is called Naughty Witch and comes with the funny joke shown!  It's showing a witch flying as well as the leaves in the sky, so I think it covers the Travel aspect of this week's challenge as well! It's just $3 at Squigglefly!

I hope these cards have inspired you to make a card to play along this week.  You are always welcome to play no matter what images you use, but to be eligible for the prize, please use at least one stamp from Squigglefly!

  The challenge this week is to create a card using the color orange.  Perhaps and orange card or orange embellishments, orange coloring, all the orange we'd love to see, it's just perfect for fall time and Halloween, but your card doesn't need to be Halloween or fall theme.   We'd love for you to use a Squigglefly image, to be prize eligible it's required, but everyone is welcome to play along.

Let's start with some inspiration from the Holley Hobbyists:

Pat Martin crafted a wonderful combination of orange and green using a brand new image called Just my Type from artist Judith Hart.  Too adorable.  Don't you love this stand up card that looks like a typewriter. So awesome.

 Jan Marshall  created this tag using this wonderful pumpkin stamp from artist Elizabeta Kushner.  This image is called Pumpkin Flourish.  What a wonderful tag for Halloween, Thanksgiving or any Fall time treat! 

 

Elizabeth Hart designed a wonderful fall card using a great image from Cheryl Alger.  This image is called Sassy Sally's Fall Pumpkin.  She used adorable orange polka dotted paper which she paper pieced on to her card for the little girl's shoes, her skirt, and the pumpkin. Wow, cute!!

   

Charlene Mitchell used an adorable deer on her sweet card this week.  This cute image from artist Fawn Palmer is called Sleeping Fawn.  Don't you love the orange and brown together?  gorgeous work.

 

Darlene Pavlick created this witchy card with an adorable image called  Witch in a Pole from Pamela Lehto.  She added gorgeous papers and a awesome saying from artist Charlene Mitchell called Free Broom Rides. Though, I am not quite sure I would be accepting a ride from that witch, hmmm.....

 

 Tammy Hair created beautiful fall card using two different leaf stamps.  The top of the card is Elizabeta Kushner's Leaf Banner.    The base of the card uses Leafy Background from the same artist.   Don't you love the green and oranges together, they are just striking.

 



  And lastly, I (Holley Barnhart from Holley's Blog)  used a great image from artist Cheryl Alger.  This cutie comes from a collection called Witches and Spells. It comes with several awesome Halloween images for just $3 at Squigglefly!

New Artists joining us this month!

Just two more days until our new release!  We have a ton of great new Christmas images coming that we know you will love using for your Christmas cards this year!  We are excited to announce two new artists joining us this month - husband and wife team Carmen and Graham Gamble!  Here are a few words from them

Graham and I reside in the Thompson valley of beautiful British Columbia Canada in a small city called Kamloops.

I have always loved to create.  It is a passion!! Whether I am sewing, making cards, playing classical guitar, quilting, making soap, altering or re-purposing an item-- it is when I am truly the happiest.  Therefore it came as no surprise when I took an interest in drawing digital images,  it being just another expression of my love for creating!  I have shared many of these creations on my blog, Beyond The Fringe Crafts.

Graham’s love is spending time on the ocean which has inspired the nautical theme of his digital artwork. He began creating digitals when he was on short term and finds it to be a relaxing and rewarding pastime.  

In almost 30 years of marriage we have raised four sons and are now enjoying our 6 grandchildren (with another on the way). We are so honored to be asked to join the Squigglefly Artists team and look forward to sharing our artwork with everyone. We hope you enjoy our images!

Look for Carmen's and Graham's images on October 5th!
