Hello!  Happy Friday!  Are you ready for another Sweet ‘n Sassy Digi Challenge?

This week we have a color challenge for you. We’re asking that you use the colors green and purple in the artwork you create with a digital image. You don’t have to use a Sweet ‘n Sassy digital image, but we do enjoy seeing our participants use them (and you get the chance for extra perks if you do – see the Digi Challenge site for more details!). Link your card at the Sweet ‘n Sassy Digi Challenge site by midnight eastern time Thursday, August 16.

I decided to get a head start on some love and Valentine type cards for Operation Write Home.  I’ve used the Chuggin Along digital set and several of the Sweet ‘n Sassy dies.  The sentiment bubble was cut with one of the cloud dies and the hearts were cut with the heart dies (um, yeah, that was obvious, sorry).  For the train tracks, I used the fence die and then snipped off the pointy pickets of the fence.  The train is paper pieced from designer paper.  I just changed the cartridge in my printer and some toner dust apparently got smudged on the white cardstock that I used for the sentiment – which actually worked to my advantage because it lended a smoke puff feel to it and took away the starkness of the white.  Happy accident!  LOL  I tried really hard to stick to the challenge colors, but this little scene just didn’t look right against any color background except a sky-looking one.  So I hope I’ll be forgiven for taking liberties there.

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to see what the rest of the Design Team has created and give them some comment love. Links to their blogs are in the left sidebar. Check out the Sweet ‘n Sassy Digi Challenge Facebook page too!
