A Christmas Bag

Hi everyone
Barbara here with a great project for this time of year. 

The designers have a theme for December - Bags or Boxes, 

so I thought I'd decorate a plain bag and make it festive for the Christmas giving season.

 Our sponsor for December is:

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More

is proud to sponsor this challenge.

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More, a division of I Did It Creations, was created and is

owned by Robyn Weinrib. Robyn offers a wonderful variety of digital stamps and digital papers, designed to meet the needs of all digital paper crafting addicts for every occasion.

The December winner will receive - Robyn’s Fetish Digital Stamps And More is happy to award 3 digital stamps of the winner’s choice to the winner of this challenge.

I used a beautiful poinsettia image from Robins Fetish, called Prissy Poinsettia

Here is my bag all prettied up

Here is a closer view of the poinsettia image

I added some colored flat backed pearls to the berry spots on the image

Here is a close up of the bow.

This sheer ribbon is a dream to work with and is easy to manipulate

getting those loops exactly where you want them to lay.

The December Challenge here at Craft-Dee BowZ is in full swing and you still have time to submit your project. Remember, the theme is Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow

We will be looking for your submission and you just could be the December winner.

Stop back next Tuesday to check out Tracey's project.

Back To School

Hello everyone.

Welcome to September and to the sponsor here this month -  Robyn's Fetish

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is proud to sponsor this months challenge at Craft-Dee BowZ. Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More, a division of I Did It Creations, was created and is owned by Robyn Weinrib. Robyn offers a wonderful variety of digital stamps and digital papers,

designed to meet the needs of all digital paper crafting addicts for every occasion. Robyn’s Fetish Digital Stamps And More is happy to award 3 digital stamps of the winner’s choice

to the winner of this months challenge at Craft-Dee BowZ.

Since school is back in session (probably everywhere)
I decided to make a card with a back to school theme.

Over at Robyn's Fetish, I saw the perfect image for my card,

an apple and the worm reading his book (Apple With Smart Worm),

perfect for the card I wanted to make. 

Here is a closer view of this cute Smart Worm

I added a beautiful double loop bow 

using a gorgeous lime green hounds tooth check

 patterned wired ribbon. 

I thought it a great accent to the smart worm.

To make this bow I use my Craft-Dee BowZ tool. The tool is easy to use and is easy to store and small enough to take with you if you travel, go to a crop or even just to a friends house.

You can order one here. 

You still have plenty of time to get your project entered 

in the Craft-Dee BowZ September monthly challenge

The theme is always - Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow.

Can't wait to see what you are going to enter in our challenge

Stop back next Tuesday to see the beautiful project Vicki has made.

Having a Ducky Day

Welcome back everyone!!!
Today is the 1st Tuesday on the month. The Craft-Dee BowZ designers post on Tuesdays and I usually post on the 1st Tuesday of the month. the Craft-Dee BowZ challenge started yesterday and since the challenge lasts the whole month you have time to get your submission in. This month we will be awarding a prize of 3 digital stamps to the top winner.

This month the sponsor is Robyn's Fetish. They have a great selection of digital images to choose from so I think there is something for everyone. Click here to browse her store

I am into animals this month so I chose a darling duck to use on my project.

I decided to show a momma and her babies. I used the digital image Just Ducky. 

That's the great thing with digi stamps, you can enlarge or decrease the size to get the look you want. I had a cattails die in my stash and also a die to cut grass, so I was off to make this adorable card.

The bow on today's card is another layered stacked bow. but this one is just 2 layers (loops) but the tails from the band around the card and the tails from the two layers make the bow look bigger.

Lets take a closer look

See, just two loops, but lots of tails, that makes this bow look fluffy and bigger than it really is.

Don't forget, the CDB challenge goes for the whole month. 

We would like to see your submission, and you could be the next winner.

Stop back next Tuesday for another designer inspiration piece from Vicki..
