Challenge #6 reminder to come and play Quirky Dressing Up (of children or animals) and include ribbon.

Hi everyone, it's reminder time again. You have until Saturday 28th March to play Quirky Dress up with us.

Don't forget it is about children playing dress up, children in costumes, or pets in costumes, or animals in costumes and we want you to use ribbons, bows, any sort of ribbon, ribbon flowers - lets see some ribbon!

Children love playing doctor or nurse and dressing up, do you have cute photos, or cute stamps or digi images of children dressed up? Maybe dressed as Christmas reindeer, or as an Easter bunny - or as an animal.

Any project is acceptable of course, the more variety the better, layouts, boxes, clothes, paintings - as long as they have ribbon and children playing dress up!

It was hard to find a pets video that didn't include something that might be offensive, and this was the best of the bunch. It is a bit of fun, do the animals actually like this? My dogs would hate to dress up, they don't like clothes.

I want to see kids or pets dressed up in costume, either digi or stamped characters or maybe photos of your children or pets - and please include some ribbon on your project.

Guest Designer 

Fit Kitty

I chose an adorable image from Bugaboo Digi Stamps called Flower Bird and coloured it with my Prismacolor pencils. I tried a new technique called Fold-out Window Card that I learned in Stretching Your Dies Online Card Class (I won this class; thank you, Laura!). It was really fun to make! I finally used my Spellbinders Blossom Two dies - I've had these for over a year and this is the first time I've used them! On the front of the card, I added a triple-looped bow, made from EK Success ribbon, and three yellow gems. For the sentiment, I stamped a Clearly Besotted stamp repeatedly on a gold strip and then affixed along the bottom. On the inside of the card, the image was die-cut with my Simon Says Stamps Stitched Rectangle.  I stamped a sentiment from Newton's Nook and added three gold dots, one was die-cut using my Nellie's Multiframe Circles and two made with handheld hole-punches.

CAZZY

This is such a cute image called Bugaboo Brats Bugs - Caterpillar. I put my sleeping child on a die cut bench in the garden (where all good caterpillars should be) surrounded by butterflies, and I used chiffon polka dot ribbon, and grosgrain ribbon with hearts both from Crafty Ribbons.

KEMLY

First our Guest Designers

FIT KITTY

For my image, I chose this adorable Rainy Day Bear - Rain Rain from Bugaboo Digi Stamps and I coloured him with my Prismacolor pencils.  I used My Creative Time Scalloped Stitched Ovals to die-cut the image and layers. On the base of the card, I added a panel of patterned paper and some polka dot ribbon that I won from Crafty Ribbons (thank you, Ali!). I stamped a sentiment from Impression Obsession Sentiments 1 clear stamps and doodled faux stitching around the edge of the patterned paper.  I decided to keep this card fairly CAS as I wanted it to be suitable for a male.  I think the little bear needs some cheering up!

DEONNA

This card was made with the Awesome Bugaboo stamp called "Bugaboo Brats Bugs-Butterfly". Isn't she just the cutest? I colored her up with my Copic Markers and white gel pen. I cut out a butterfly template and embossed it with a dot Sizzix Embossing folder, added some wire for the antenna's and a couple little bows to the top for decoration. Then added some mini glitter flower shapes.

LORRAINE

Lorraine also used Rainy Day Bear - Rain Rain and how spooky - the same colours and nearly the same layout as Kitty lol. 

2 month Guest Designer 

DEBORAH

I used two adorable little stamps by Bugaboo Kidlet Doctor & Kidlet Nurse Aren't they just darling playing dressup. I combined with a sweet red/white gingham ribbon, DCWV Sunday Afternoon Stack with silver stickles and an old SU stamp collection Happy Healing.

Finally the Design Team:

MYRIAM

I worked with this beautiful digi AKV pirate monkey-sword from Bugaboo stamps

DORIS

For my today project, I decided to make a Gift Bag using the sweet image Baby Flower 1 , from Bugaboo Digi Stamps. I used Spectrum Noir, some glitter and different papers. For flower I used PL1, PL2 and PL3. For color skin I used FS1, FS2, FS5 and FS8. Finally for a diaper I used CG1, CG2 and DG3.

KEMLY

Hi people! Today in my project, I choose two beautiful digis from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps. I used to the Kidlet-Wizard  and Kidlet-Witch. I made a card, a castle for  the magic party to the children. The little witch wearing a small loop on your clothes. I colored the digis with Acuarelable pencils and Spectrum Noir pencils.

MONICA

For this week project, I got from our sponsor Bugaboo, the lovely Bobblehead Kids Bunny, an adorable little girl dressed up as the Easter Bunny, perfect to match with an Easter card. I colored the digi with Graph´it markers.

Cazzy

I have here two little boys dressed as rabbits. I started off with the very cute Bugaboo Brat - Boy Easter Bunny, who is fast asleep, then I thought what is he sleeping on - had to be Easter eggs they were perfect, and I added a friend who is carrying a WOE Big Egg, because all the digis come in .png as well as .jpg it was easy to create this scene. The ribbon is a Crafty Ribbons exclusive Animal Silhouette - Rabbits.

Inside I lined the box with pink paper printed with green and pink butterflies by Sentimental Susan.
