Festive Friday challenges for October.
The theme for October at A place to Start is to use pink. The image is from a Day for Daisies. Thought October the time to remember to schedule your mammogran, this would be a great image for a card.
This month's challenge is Fantasy.
Great sponsor for The Crafter's Cafe

I chose to use an image I have had for a short time, "Buttercup Cottage" but had no time to use until now. We have at long last moved (after 47 years). Finally have my craft room set up and found my camera connection, so after a whirlwind tiring year, I am creating again.
I printed the image on a patterned digital paper. Coloured the image with Prismacolour Pencils. Added some liquid pearls, some little punched flowers and a verse from the poem "Buttercups and Daisies by Eliza Cook.
This is a special month at Pearly Sparkles, we remember the lady that created this challenge, Traci. In honor of Traci we incorporate some things she loved for this challenge.
We have two great sponsors this month for our Rainbow/Use Bright Colours challenge.
I chose to use "Bobs Balloons" the coloured version from Dr Digi. I created a digital coloured background to go along with the colourful Bob.
I have printed this image and made a card, BUT I have also moved houses at the same time and Bob is in a box, safe and sound, I just have to find him. So here is the digital version.

This month's theme is Floral, I have used an image from Fred She Said called Lenten Rose, Helibore. I have coloured the image with copic pens, fussy cut and layered it onto some patterned tissue paper. The sentiment is from a stamp by Stampin Up[.
Crafter's Cafe challenges have changed to Anything Goes, optional twist.
This months option is balloons and Polkadoodles has some cute balloon images and are the sponsor for this month.
I chose to use "Honey Pie Sweet Balloons. With more packing and less room to create at the moment, I coloured the image with prisma coloured pencils. I added extra balloons. Once coloured I scanned the image, adding the balloon sparkle, sentiment and numbers on the balloons. I also printed the balloons onto an envelope.
Another Festive Friday challenge, this month the themes are:
Christmas in July is the theme. I have used an image from Hettie, called Beach Pony Float. In fact you may see more of this image as I have made a few different cards with this delightful image and one that suits Australia at Christmas time.
This is a pretty simple card, I have coloured the image with copics, typed a sentiment and added glitter to the water.
This month at A Place to Start we have an Anything Goes challenge. A couple of months ago, after we had packed up the craftroom (yes, we are still packing) I realised I needed a birthday card for our youngest grandson, what do you do for a 19 year old! Then panic sat in as I remembered I was also catching up with a 12 year old whose birthday card was due.
Bit of a search on google bought up a great image, in fact I think there is 16 in the set, colours to suit a lot of people. Here is the link "Video Game Controller" Each image is very clear and colourful and not expensive.
I downloaded the set, made one into a black and white for our grandson (colours of his favourite football team) and used a blue image for the younger of the boys.
After typing in the sentiment, printed and folded the card, luckily quick and easy as I still had to decorate the cake.
