Ike's World Challenges #33 DT Post

I was not quick enough to get my project for TEAM B in over at Ike's World Challenges.
The current Challenge #33 - Colored Hair will be closed soon, so use that FREE image and get your project entered!

I have used the image called KT Frock which was a FREEBIE from Challenge #17.  So don't miss out on some wonderful images.  You can also see what else Ike has to offer from Ike's Art.

I just love seeing how freaked out the kids get at the Egg Hunts each year.  So this little one is just about as freaked out as you can get!  

Ike's World Challenges - Week 2 Challenge #30 and HDH - JanWNP? Challenge

 

What??  
Yes, I have finally got my post on the right day...it is a new year!

Welcome to Week 2 of Challenge #30 - SKETCH here at Ike's World Challenges.

Get your Challenge #30 entries in HERE and see Week 1 inspiration of this sketch if you missed it. 

I love doing sketch and color challenges and this one was so fun using Ike's images.  We as the Design Team are sometimes super lucky to get to use images designed by Ike that are not in the her shop, Ike's Art.  Which was the case with this challenge.  Links will be provided for those images you can purchase and if you would like the others...well be sure to answer the next DT call! 

The project for this Sketch challenge is a notebook.  I have used the images HOLLY FAIRY and ZOMBIE PET SHOP 2, images not in the shop:  Xmas Star, Sall's Eagle, and Stable Doors.


I am a huge fan of all kinds of cats.  So happy Ike has a lot of choices.  These Zombie Cats are one of my favs.  Found out that there is an Egyptian Goddess of domestic cats, Bastet.  So this is dedicated to her and to all domestics, alive and dead.

As you may or may not know, Haunted Design House has changed their bi-weekly challenges into monthly challenges.  This January the challenge is What's New Pussycat?  And can be interpreted as we would like.  So I am using my kitty fetish from this project to enter into HDH's challenge as well.

Ike's World Challenges DT Project

Well, I hope you all are having a great June.  I have been slightly confused for the majority.  Some how I managed to print off three June calendar's all with different dates.  I try to keep a calendar for each of my groups (Design Teams, kids/fam, and Stampin' Up!).  I think I need to come up w/ a better system!  I managed to lose a week and so missed my normal DT posting date for Ike's World Challenges, eeeek!

So, here is my card a little late but you still have time to join Challenge #19 - Monochrome.  I have chosen to work with an image from Ike's Art called Face On, in the shades of green.

Hope you join this and please leave some comments for the wonderful projects that the Design Team has created to inspire you.  Thanks!

Edgar Allen Poe

Ike's World Challenges DT Project #18

Welcome to Challenge #18 - Song / Film Title Challenge.  We have all been inspired at one time or another by a song or film.  Here at Ike's World Challenges the Design Team have some wonderful inspiration to help get closer to winning the prize.
I have a card that uses an image from Ike's Art that for some reason spoke to me for this challenge.  I was inspired by WOLF 3 and the song Little Red Riding Hood by Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs.  I am a sucker for any songs in the 40's, 50's. and 60's.    This song was released in 1966 and has always been a favorite.

Thanks Ike for you wonderful image and just so happy to hopefully inspire you to join in this round.
