Dr Digi Giddy UP

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here today with my Dr Digi post.

Dr Digi always has some fun images.  This here is Debbie's Donkey Derby image and Debbie looks like she is the life of the party.  The image was colored with my Prismacolor pencils.  I also had some scrap pieces of Dr Digi backing paper for the side panel.

Here's the inside.

Mix it Up! Challenge Blog #28: Triple Stamping

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here with my post from Mix It Up! Challenge Blog.    This blog is about trying some new techniques, maybe getting those motto juices flowing.

Honestly, I love the look of 3 time stamping technique, but I have never tried it until now.  Finding a good stamp to use for this method can be hard.  I used a wooden stamp that I've had laying around for years.  I wanted to do it on kraft paper, because coloring on kraft paper can really pop.   The image is colored with my Prismacolor pencils.

Here's the inside.

Dr Digi: There's Hope With Tea

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here with my Dr Digi post today, you can always check things out on Facebook. 

I wanted to play with my new cutting machine a little, by trying out those fancy shaped cards.  I used the Coffee Cup file from The Cutting Cafe.   I love the sentiments from Dr Digi's Tea Time Sentiment sheet. Using an image is great, but sometimes keeping it plain and simple, so the sentiment can really shine, can be a challenge for me. This is why I want to do the shape card :o) 

Here is the inside, which holds a couple tea bags.    The cute little biscuit paper is also from Dr Digi

Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog #13: Vintage Candy Canes

Hello crafty friends :o)  Here's my post with sister blog Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog, where it's Christmas all year around. 

This beautiful image Candy Cane Classic is from Power Poppy (I love the detailed images).  The image is colored with my Prismacolor pencils.  I used distress ink around the image to make it look vintage.   Kept the design very simple by using some scrap paper.

Here's the inside.

Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog #124: You Have My Heart

Hello crafty friends :o)  I'm here today with my project for Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog.  This month it's all about shapes.  We want to see cards in different shapes.

We have a wonderful sponsor and the winner will receive 3 digital stamps.

I love vintage things and I had this image Summertime Retro Style from The Paper Shelter, just needed to be used.   The image is colored with my Prismacolor pencils.  Now for the shape, I really wanted to use a surfboard, but I printed off the image long before I thought about the shape.  The surfboard was not wide enough :o(   I found a Beachball shape file from the Cutting Cafe.....a circle it was.

Here's the inside.

I'm very new with my cutting machine, lots of practice will be needed (no I'm not complaining).  I really wanted the beachball to show on the front, but because of the image......I had to put the hard work of the beachball inside.   The reason I say hard work, because I had to resize each piece and I'm sure there is a trick somewhere.
