Digi Darla Challenge




I love using images from Digi Darla because they are so cute and easy to color. I used my Silhouette machine to cut out this cute polaroid frame with the words Thanks imbedded in it. I inked the frame with my Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers ink. I colored this cute DigiDarla image with my Copics, Flex Letraset. I used my Echo Park Winter Wishes Pattern Paper.

Sweet Nothings Stamp Company Challenge




Sophie is an adorable digital image that was created by Sweet Nothings Stamp Company. They recently offered an adorable free Sophie digital image which I was lucky enough to get. I enjoyed completing their challenge using the image that I received. It was a neutral color theme challenge. I used all browns and only a hint of pink on her shirt and the heart of her purse. I colored Sophie using my Copic and Flex Letraset markers. My card base is the 5 X 5 Recollections corrugated cardboard. I used the Basic Grey Naturals patterned paper pack for this card. I used some amazing fun furry trim on the bottom of the card that I got from SaCrafters on zibbets. I used some pleated brown organza trim along the edge of the Sophie image. I made an organza flower and put a pearl ribbon slider in the center of it. I added a sentiment from the Sweet & Sassy Cocoa Mouse Treats stamp set. Thanks for looking.

Saturated Canary Challenge



I was introduced to Saturated Canary stamps recently by a Youtube friend and I love using digital stamps so was happy to see they had some digital images. I got a few of the wonderful freebies they had and then I just had to purchase some more of those adorable girls. The challenge this week was "Fairytales" it wasn't difficult to use a Saturated Canary image for this theme since so many of them look like fairytale princesses. I loved this image that I chose. I colored the Saturated Canary image up with my Copic and Flex Letraset markers and then I added some diamond lace stickles to give her dress some added sparkle. I added an adorable art tile piece that I received in a RAK from a Youtube giveaway. The patterned paper that I used was from Echo Park Everyday Eclectric. I used the label from the latest SP&Company monthly stamp set called "Handmade Holiday Gift Tags" and the sentiment that I stamped on the label was from the Bold Birthday Sentiments from SP&Company. I added a Prima flower that I got in a kit that I ordered on Etsy. I also added a piece of lace on the bottom that I purchased from Lavish Laces on Etsy. Thanks for looking.

Sweet & Sassy Digi Challenge

.

I love the digital images you find at Sweet & Sassy and they have great challenges here. The latest one is a shaped card. I love the cocoa mouse images. I used my newest Spellbinder dies called "Resplendent Rectangles" to create a fun shaped card. I cut the Echo Park Winter Wishes patterned paper using another one of those dies to find on top of the card base. I colored in the Cocoa mouse image with my markers and stickled him up. I stamped out a tag from the SP&Company Handmade Holiday Gift tags stamp set and then I stamped the holiday sentiment from that same set onto the tag. Thanks for looking

Progressive Digital Challenge



I love using digital images on my cards and this site offers wonderful images from talented ladies. I have seen several people use these fun corrugated cardboard card bases from Recollections so I purchased some for myself. They are a 5 X 5 size. I used Bazzil Vintage Marketplace patterned paper for my design. The pink lined paper is 3 X 4 7/8 and teal geometric design is 2 X 4 7/8. I cut a 1 inch strip of the rose paper to add along the left hand side. I colored the fun teapot and teacup images with my Copic and Flex Letraset markers. I love the cute sentiments that were given to use with these images. I stamped out my latest SP&Company label stamp from the "Handmade Holiday Gift tags" set around the printed sentiment and cut it out. I added 3 heart rhinestones in the bottom right hand corner. Thanks for looking.

I started out crafting by doing scrapbooking before I got married I was introduced to Creative Memories and started out on my wedding ablum. I got introduced to card making about 16 years ago and I love it more each day. I love using sketches to help me create cards because they take the guess work out of it and help me to create a more uniform card. I loved this first sketch for November 1st.


I created this card for a challenge on Youtube and you can find how I created it by watching this video.
