Dr Digi: Selfie

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here with my Dr Digi post today.  Yup, trying to get ahead of that never ending Christmas card list.  I did find a couple small stacks that Dr Digi's elves hid on my in the years past, so they should help out.

I'm using the image Selfie Santa, which is SO in today's society.  I don't like pics of myself, so...I really don't like selfies.  I do love this image of Santa and Frosty, 2 pals just chilling together.  The image is colored with my Prismacolor pencils.

Here's the inside.  ( I couldn't bend it all the way due to the snowflake on front )

thanks for looking and reading :o)

Let's Craft & Create #130: Witchy Halloween

Hello crafty friends!  I'm getting ready for some more Fall Festivals around my area.  This weekend is the Apple Harvest Festival, with apple cider, apple cinnamon donuts, and picking your own apples.  Don't forget the hayrides and cute little farm animals.

We are half-way through our Anything Goes/optional Witchy/Autumn colors challenge at Let's Craft and Create.  Hopefully you can post your Autumn creations in our challenge.

I created this card with the image Halloween Cutie Sweet Tooth Witch from Tiddly Inks.  Just couldn't help myself when I saw this cutie.  The image comes with or without a kitty, but I love the little black cat.  I colored the image with my Prismacolor pencils and sprinkles some Stampendous fran-tage powder around the edges.  I stamped a simple little sentiment in the corner.

Here's the inside.

Dr Digi: Scary Pumpkin Bag

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here today with my Dr Digi post.  Scary time are approaching and getting crafty is the time.

I created this cute bag to throw some goodies in for teachers and/or friends, using Dr Digi's Scary Pumpkin image.  This image won't break the bank either.  I colored it with my Prismacolor pencils.  The sentiment is also from Dr Digi's Halloween Sentiment. 

I had this fishnet yarn hanging around, actually you have to stretch it out to get it to look like that, but it's better than some filly lace....lol.  Of course, some monster googly eyes needed to be added.

Mix It Up #6: Watercoloring

Hello crafty friends!  Today is a new month and that means you get 3 times the post, yup 3 posts to start your month off right.  Love to Craft, Love to Scrap & Mix It Up challenge blogs all go live today with new challenges.

This month at Mix It Up Challenge Blog it's Anything Goes + option of Watercoloring.

I decided to get my watercolor pencils out for this challenge.  There are many different techniques to do watercoloring on images.  Sometimes I color the image with the waterpencils and come back through with my water brush.  Then, I do the water brush to the pencil to get some areas deeper in colors.  I think the brush to pencil works the best at times.  You can also get the pencil wet and then color, then take a water brush over the area.  It's really a preference.  The image is from Redonkadoodles called Floral Heart Sentiment, it comes with 14 different sentiments inside the heart.

Here's the inside in which I used a Stampin' Up sentiment.

Love to Craft! Challenge Blog #15: Little Cook

Hello crafty friends!  Today is a new month and that means you get 3 times the post, yup 3 posts to start your month off right.  Love to Craft, Love to Scrap & Mix It Up challenge blogs all go live today with new challenges.  Can't wait to see what you craft up.

Here's my page layout for Love to Craft! Challenge Blog.

When Krista Smith of Saturated Canary offered her subscription for this year, she also offered a personalized stamp with the subscription.  I sent her some pics of a young lady and she drew this one from the Jr Chef competition she was preparing for.  I have all boys and I don't think they would be thrilled over a personalized image, so this worked out well for her journal book to add. 

The image is colored with my Prismacolor pencils.
