Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge #70

We’ve made it through another week, and now it’s Friday again, which means it’s time for another Sweet ‘n Sassy Digi Challenge! This week’s theme is Take Me Away. We encourage you to make a project using a digital image that shows some means of transportation. It could be a car, a bus, a bicycle, a train, or even a hot air balloon! Share your project with us at the Sweet ‘n Sassy Digi Challenge site by midnight eastern time Thursday, September 13. You’re not required to use a Sweet ‘n Sassy digital image for your project, but we do love when you use those (and you get the chance for perks if you do – see the Digi Challenge site for more details).

Last week I was perusing the Sweet ‘n Sassy digital images, trying to decide which one to use for my challenge card. When I saw the Blast Off set, I knew I had the perfect designer paper to pair with it. So I’ve combined them in this week’s card. The layout is Freshly Made Sketch #51 turned sideways.  I wanted the rocket image tilted up on the die cut piece so that it would look like the rocket is blasting off up into the atmosphere.  I flipped the rocket image horizontally (like a mirror image) so it wouldn’t look like it was shooting off the edge of the card.  That’s one of the fun things about digi images – being able to manipulate them to best suit your project!  I thought about doodling a border around the edge of the die cut, but I decided against it because I didn’t want to risk messing up that piece after I’d already colored the rocket.  (OK, I’m a wimp like that.) The sentiment I used, along with a few others, are included with the rocket image. This card also meets this week’s OWH Midweek Throwdown Challenge, to create a card with scallops on it that can be sent to a child.

This month, the Sweet ‘n Sassy Digi Challenge team would like to welcome Cynthia O. and Sarah M. as guest designers!  They earned these positions by using Sweet ‘n Sassy digital images on the projects they made for some of our recent digi challenges.  Their blogs are linked in the left sidebar along with the rest of the design team’s blogs, so go check them out for some great inspiration!

Thanks for visiting today!  Have a fabby weekend!
