Christmas Card!

OK, so I'm in the Christmas card making mood now! Although it's 65 degrees out today here in Ohio, I will not look forward to the chill of winter! But I really LOVE these Authentique Wonder papers!! Cheryl has a tutorial on her blog on how to make this card. Click on her name to go check it out! I was wanting to try something different in making a card, so this design was perfect! Thanks so much Cheryl! My card size is 6x6, and I used smaller measurements than Cheryls, but I got it to all work out! I used the new Picot Edge Spellbinders die, and also the new Movers and Shapers mini holly leaf by Tim Holtz's alteration line. The red berries were first clear, and I used my alcohol inks to die them red. I got a huge bag of these at Pat Catans in the floral dept for like $7.00 they will last me quite awhile! So that's about it for this one! Be sure to check Cheryl's tutorial, thanks for stopping by!

Back to the drawing board!

Here is another digi I drew up this morning. He is a bit plain, but I can see printing him off onto patterned paper, or just coloring him in the way he is! Thanks for taking a peek!

My First Digi Stamp!

Happy Sunday to you! I have ventured into drawing again. I used to be quite good ages ago, but as time went on, I stopped drawing all together. I got a spark the other day to start up again. And am very rusty! I managed to draw two snowman images, and June from Dezinaworld was gracious enough to turn them into digi stamps for me! She's such a dear! The pic above is what I'll use as a selling point. Below you will find my first ever free digi stamp just for you! I'm hoping to find time this week to draw some more images, and it is with paper and pencil! Thanks for stopping by, and let me know what you think of my marshmellow man!

Friends With Flair Friday!

Happy Happy Friday everyone! I broke down and made my first Christmas card! I couldn't resist, with the new goodies I got in the mail yesterday! New Seasonal Winter Distress Inks(which sold like hotcakes at my online store!) New Spellbinders Picot Edge dies, the cute stocking Spellbinders die, and the Authentique Wonder 6x6 paper pad! So much good stuff, so little time! I am linking this to the Unity Stamp Co's blog for friends with flair. The sweet sentiment is from the Unity kit Snowflakes Fall From Heaven by Jillibean Soup, which is on sale for $10.00 here! Link up your Unity creation today! Thanks for stopping by!

Cute Amy

I got this free digital image some time ago, and do not know what blog it came from. I should keep better track of them! Her name is Cute Amy, and since I got it free, I am posting this free digi below for you! I am linking this to 2 Sister's Challenge Blog where they have a color challenge to use black, orange, purple, lime green, and white. A lot I know! But I colored her in with my pencils, and die cut it out with a spellbinders die. The lime green paper is from Creative Memories, and I stamped the Victorian Lace SU! background stamp in green galore ink. I stitched around the green paper only and adhered it to the black cardstock from The Paper Company. The purple flourish was die cut from a Sizzix die, and is DCWV sticky back paper. A little oval punch with the sentiment in Ripe Persimmon DI, and some small punched flowers with glitter finish it off. Click the link above if your up for the challenge! Thanks for stopping by!

Got a Bug?

Well, I've had a bug for some time now, and I wish it would go away! Over at All Things Unity, we are 'to get buggy with it' meaning create something with bugs! There are lots of those biting japenese beetles trying to get in the house now that it's cooler, but I went with a sickly bug. The beetle image is from the ippity set A Little Buggy, and I used my pencils on him. The sentiment on the front is computer generated, and the inside sentiment is from the ippity set Just Wanted to say. Click on the link above to enter if you'd like. You must use any Unity/ippity stamps! Thanks for crawling by!

On to Thanksgiving

Now that Halloween is over, I still can't make myself start a bunch of Christmas cards yet! Hoping the snow holds off for awhile! I made this card for the Chick Challenges {with Ippity}. They have a sketch to follow, and to use only ippity stamps. I used the bit of burlap stamp on the background with Antique Linen DI, and the sentiment is from the set Here and Now, and it's stamped in Palette Hybrid burnt umber. The turkey is made from punches and dies, and the paper is either Cosmo Cricket, Echo Park, or October Afternoon. Sorry, I cut the bottoms off the 12x12 paper so I can't remember! The punches I used to make him is an oval, circle, heart, scalloped oval(for the feet), and a jelly bean Sizzix die for the head. I didn't have a small enough oval for the head, so the jelly bean worked! I cut a triangle for the beak, and drew on some eyes. He looks pretty cute! The sentiment label is a Spellbinders die. Click the link above to see more ippity, or enter for yourself! There's a free ippity stamp set up for grabs! Thank you for stopping by!
